anet just hates rangers. how many times do they have to nerf spirit rangers? 3 sec sun spirit proc and 33% damage decrease to storm spirit will obliterate the only viable build on a ranger.

power ranger build is never gonna be viable since rangers don’t have much burst damage compared to other classes (thieves, eles, warriors etc…). this nerf is unneeded. it’s time to roll another class and say goodbye to my ranger.

please, reroll now. if spirit ranger was the only ranger build you could play, a different class is probably the best idea.

lol XD

Spirit ranger embodies literally everything that is wrong with GW2 pvp.

First of all, it provides crazy support while also having amazing potential for winning 1v1s versus a variety of classes. This is already an example of bad design. Support builds should have a chance to win 1v1s with skilled gameplay, but should generally be at a disadvantage.

The spirit elite is the most broken elite skill in the game. 400 healing per second+ two free ressurects on either yourself or multiple teammates in a 900 radius? This is legitimately ridiculous.

The 33% damage nerf to storm spirit should be 75%. I’ve had this ability hit 6,000 damage on me from a guy wearing a carrion amulet. Let me repeat this: 6000 damage from a guy wearing a carrion amulet. That’s more than I Backstab for generally. It’s totally absurd and makes me angry just thinking about this build.

Spirit ranger is also a primary example of dodge/evade spam with Natural Vigor, vigor uptime, and 3 evades on Sword/Dagger along with 1 on shortbow, all on low cooldowns. Not to mention it gains protection on dodge. In addition to being an example of evade spam, it’s also an example of reliance on passives as well as AI.

Finally, Ranger isn’t a weak class. There are actually plenty of viable builds being blotted out by just how overpowered the spirits build is. Nerfing spirit ranger is totally necessary for the ranger class as well as PvP in general. It should be nerfed more just due to how easy it is to play effectively.

exactly what you said. we rely on our storm spirit for burst damage. once that was taken away, we are left but nothing.

btw, i can play any build there is on a ranger but all of those other builds are selfish. they offer no support for the team. kite from a hard to reach area hoping that the tankers will last long, hoping nobody from the other team will notice. just pathetic. spirit ranger build puts rangers in the frontline. that’s what we want.

it’s really sad what they are about to do.

ask for a server dedicated for deathmatch instead. i’m sure not all players want that.

hammer is not the problem it’s the longbow. why not just call warriors rangers if they are more effective using longbows. just lame. a warrior’s lb attack is the biggest threat.

not fair. this will hurt spirit rangers big time (the only viable build for spirit rangers). a power build is not gonna be viable even with those enhancements. these changes will make rangers extinct from pvp.

no. i don’t want that. 8v8 is already crazy. if you wanted zerg fights just stay in WvW.

huge nerf to my spirit ranger. my poor baby…

hotjoin is the only option right now. tpvp is kinda lame with those pve rewards.

hotjoin is for everyone newbies or high-ranked players.

although, it’s really sad to see new players getting ganked by ransackers/marauders. it doesn’t feel right. i even read qq’s from new players about rank imbalance but i don’t think there’s a solution to this. matchmaking is only applicable to tpvp.

hotjoin sure is funny. i like it.

stealth-spamming thieves are already OP. why buff it?

it happens all the time. i used to run a power build but that glitch makes the whole build nonviable.

my spirit ranger in a peter pan inspired vigil set.

spirit rangers are ok as they are now. necro’s minions deal more damage anyway. from what i know, this build was already nerfed. storm spirit only deals 1000-2000 damage which is useless.

btw, not a lot of rangers play a spirit ranger. running a spirit ranger build requires you to stand on a point and tank. most rangers prefer to kite from afar avoiding direct damage.

im gonna watch it

engineers to be the next OP class or engineers getting nerfed?

i guess, warriors gonna get a huge nerf. i hope rangers will be the next warriors after the next balance patch.

more power to the spirits. spirit of nature needs more healing power.

pls buff rangers too… we badly need that. nerf necros too, they are getting nastier now.

Atherakhia.4086:

There are thousands of players in this game and the general consensus among the majority of them are Warriors are overpowered. This isn’t an opinion of just the lower ranked people but of everyone overall. So while some of the issue could very well be build choice for some, the reality is that Warriors are still overpowered.

can anyone make a survey and show the results here? i don’t believe what you guys are saying. I’m sorry. I also talked to a lot of players IG and they said that warriors are not OP.

i love it when there are more warriors on my team. 4 warriors 1 spirit ranger is the best team ever. more power to the warriors.

i watched the mean kitty song video instead. cat videos are so addictive. i can watch them for hours.

dday.9532:

atleast it something different.
atleast its not ranger necro guardian thief + like a war or engie like everyone else
first successful team without a guardian…

the team did well all as one class not bcuz war is op,
but war is the only class that can viably run bunk, burst, or condi
its not like theyre unbeatable, they just beat that team.

i agree. warriors have so many viable builds. i wish rangers are also like that so people would stop ridiculing me rolling a spirit ranger. some people can be really nasty sometimes.

awesome video…

i don’t like it.

yeah! i wanna chat with players from other worlds too. i really love chatting. <3

sweet…

what are the changes?

is it still possible to get 300-400 rank points if you get to kill more players? :-(

redslion.9675:

744 condi damage is pretty low.

And I don’t think you can kill anything that can survive against a necro.

exactly. i can’t imagine anyone rolling that build. no offense meant to evillek.

Immobilized on 1 sec in spvp and 2 sec in WvWvW every 3 autoattack because Leg Specialist is broken,OP passive HP regen and 4200 armors in spvp and 4500+ in wvwvw.

Stopped reading after that. Ppl like you should be banned from forum with reason “crazy fat trolling and zero knowledge about class”

What ? Every 3 autoattack you are in immobil.For you every 3 autoattack chain(+-4.5 sec).F 1H sword 3 sec imobil 10sec CD,Savage Leap 1 sec immobil 8 sec CD, Throw Bolas 4sec immobil 20 sec CD, with of hand axe Throw Axe 1 sec immobil 10sec CD or Stun with shield.

Oh sorry i miss 84 armor lool. If such armor had German Tigers Maybe the Second World War ended in an otherwise.

my mistake. but how do you kill someone with 2000 attack power? can you actually do that?

thank you. i will google those apps right now. :-)

let’s just make some videos how a warrior can be countered 1v1. how about that?

stupid question: how can i film gw2? do i use a software?

infantrydiv.1620:

You are a bad player. No one cares.

Also, please understand that when an experiment is conducted by someone with an obviously heavy bias toward one direction, it isn’t valid.

flamebait…

they cant produce such video because it will just show how bad they are. lol

People are lying so much about the balance seriously …. a longbow ranger counters a stun-lock warrior ? Since when ?? Devs need to start playing their game and stop listening to the random crap that people say on these forums .

A spirit pet ranger will have an advantage over a cc warrior. the Ranger in this set up has Insta res, regen, protection, crit damage all coming from from the pets pair this with sword dagger and thats 4 evades right there. I wont say the ranger will win every time but the cc warrior would be at a disadvantage.

i use soldier amulet and rune of the fighter to add damage to my spirit ranger build. i’m telling you, it’s not that hard to defeat a warrior 1v1. i even find necros harder to beat. as long as i was able to survive the burst damage i could get the advantage after. i use longbow and shortbow instead of close range melee weapons. getting too close to a warrior is suicide.

i see warriors get killed 1v1 all the time. i just don’t get what’s all this fuss about warriors. i’m not that smart to defend this class but i’ve read a lot of good stuff from this thread that proves why a warrior is not OP. i’m sure the dev’s will notice it too.

in the end, we all get what we deserve. :-)

i notice some ele’s are getting tanky nowadays. i dont think that they are always the first one to die in a team fight.

eles move so fast. it’s really hard to catch them.

What are you playing, a guardian? lol, seriously, if you cant catch an ele you might definitely want to recheck your build!

i only get speed buff from my storm spirit proc. you all know how slow a ranger moves without a signet.

what i’m saying is that eles are getting viable after the latest patch. i see them getting stronger. believe me.

btw, guardians are not slow pokes. they can also move really fast.

well then, put on a speed signet, it is your fault not to use it! If you want to catch someone you will need it, not only for eles but for everyone, so that argument that you only have one swiftness is no excuse. A warrior activating signet elite will outrun you, lets not even count the GS skills that he can use for said purpose. A guardian will escape you too, staff or a swiftness shout + GS and he is already faster than ele. If you truly, TRULY thing eles have godlike mobility then let me pop you down of your cloud; if you see an ele using RtL to get away from you, that ele wont have any engage/disengage for 40 seconds, use it! relay that info to your mates if you are on voice chat. The only swfitness an ele gets from S/D combo is from switching to air, which isnt even specific to D/D because thats an 10 arcane trait, the other one is from updraft which needs to hit an enemy and has a 50s CD. Let me tell you even more, Scepter nor focus have any gap closer/gap opener nor swiftness other than, once again, switching to air, use it to your advantage! i assure you they wil NOT be able to outrun even a slug.

The D/D speed increase can only be proceed in combat and we are usually forced to take signet of air, which is a sacrifice, a sacrifice apparently you are not willing to take, so all I gotta say is; deal with it. We already have one of the lowest mobility in the game after necros and mesmers, we dont need to be gutted anymore.

PS: Oh yeah, you are a zoo pet ranger, I guess you shouldnt have much validity in topic given that you play that easy and OP specc, my bet is; you are trying [in vain, truth cannot be denied] to make others think that everything is ok so that your specc can remain dominant, wont happen, mate, most plyers are starting to slowly realize in how much of a bad state eles are.

i’m sorry i didn’t mean it if i gave you that kind of impression.

i shouldn’t have said what i said. i say really stupid things sometimes even IRL.

i dont want ele’s to get nerfed. that’s not my point.

maybe, i was wrong believing in an elementalist’s potential. idk.

i roll a spirit ranger build and i am aware how strong this build is but i never asked an ele to reroll in a tpvp match. i may not be a pro but i really don’t think they are a liability on a team as long as they know how to play their role well.

this thread just keeps delivering and so far my 6 infractions from here have been totally worth it. TY OP

you just need to stop bullying people, dude. be nice. :-)

i approve of this thread. these qq posts about warriors have to stop.

here comes the 30% winrate spirit ranger telling everyone how to play the game

critisizing me makes you a better player. i agree.

i never said i’m a pro yet i can still beat warriors in tpvp. i had some losses when i was new in pvp. i’m sure you all experienced being new.

btw, leaderboard rank is not something that i am aiming for. i’m just here to play and have fun.

zerg mode is fun once in a while. hotjoin is casual and fun. it’s a place where you can meet players from different worlds and chat. i find it really refreshing. tpvp is where you can be serious and competitive.

i approve of this thread. these qq posts about warriors have to stop.

Valentin.2073:

it’s kind of confusing for someone who is not a veteran in spvp. i really dont see warriors op. i’m not a pro but i can still beat a warrior 1v1 as a ranger.

U play a spirit ranger and whine about mm necro. Ur opinions on sPvP are null and void.

i say necros are more OP than warriors. that’s my opinion. if you dont want to accept that it’s ok with me.

a warrior’s longbow aoe is really strong. that skill should be nerfed but everything else is fine, IMO.

style.6173:

Valentin.2073:

warriors are not OP. you just dont know how to deal with them. these qq threads about warriors are getting old and boring.

next please…

Everyone except for warriors know they are OP

never played a warrior, dude. i run a spirit ranger. ^^,

yeah, i completely forgot that. so that makes warriors the only skilled profession if ai driven classes have low skill ceiling.
