I tried to play a warrior, but I guess I have never really realized how much better combo fields make combat. Yeah, warriors have a couple, but nothing compared to the many of a ranger. With a combo field, you get awesome damage and such dynamic combat as-well. Using leaps and projectiles and spins… compared to that, Warrior combat just feels so Dry.

I have straffs set to “C” and “V”, so that I can put my thumb on them and still be able to push all the buttons on my keyboard. My mouse has two buttons, but just that keybind changes everything for me!

I will sit with you one day Volundarhus, eating Dolyak cheesecake and pouring ale on the ice in Hoelbrak.

So you wouldn’t consider it a waste? Thanks! I will ofcourse experiment with other classes, but rangers just feel… right. Thank you all forum goers who are fighting viciously for us, and I thank you guys for it. I am not trying to ruin your campaign, but I love my ranger. So keep fighting, but I won’t abandon my favorite class.

So… abandon the coolest class in-game until they buff Rangers? Sounds pretty sad to me.

When I saw the ranger with the pet “Mr. Bojangles” in Heart of the Mists, I just couldn’t get over, my cat’s name, “Mr. Bojanky”

Hello! I am beginning the long journey to a legendary, and as I looked at the legendary weapons, well I found that I only really liked the Greatswords. Would getting a greatsword on a ranger be a complete waste? Would it just be stupid to not put it on a different class? Please tell me, as this will affect me for many, many hours.

What ranger NEEDS

Heres what I am expecting (minimum)-

- Sigils Improved (i.e. Sigil of the Hunt increases speed by 20%, ext.)
- Spirits Reworked (I never use these things)
- Many weapon skills buffed and reworked to not all be utility skills. (More weapons made viable for PvE/PvP

Here’s what I am hoping to see

- A viable way to minimize the importance of pets in PvP as a huge source of damage. (i.e. Trait: Damage is increased by 30% when both pets are dead.) It doesn’t even have to be that huge, just enough so that enemies in PvP can’t just take out our pet and expect to half our damage.
- Short Bow does 1/2 bleed duration when not attacking from behind. (My Engineer bleeds in an AoE around the target from and direction. Is this too much to ask for? Probably.

Please Tell Me What I Have To Look Forward To.

I have been excited about this game ever since I saw videos posted of the capital cities. This game is unbelievably beautiful, and I love the way it looks every second. But I feel like this game has nothing that is really pulling me to level up. I know that the point of the game is not to get to 80, but I am being pushed there. I feel like the only thing that keeps me going is the (#Level) beside the next objective of my personal story. I feel like the personal story should be linked directly, with me being able to just go through my entire personal story consecutively, even if it took me through all of the zones on its way. With the current system, I feel like I go and do the fun personal story stuff, then I have to go back to pure farming levels through killing centaurs. Once I do that for about an hour, I go back and do the fun personal story stuff. Then I go back out and farm, farm, farm my levels. Whether this is intended or not, I feel like half of my time is spent doing lame things like escorting the caravan to get experience.

And the big part for me is that my personal story is all I have to look forward to while farming. I mean, I can get over some farming, after all, its in almost all mmos. What I cannot get over is that I have nothing to even fantasize about. In other games, I would see players with the awesome mounts or epic wings or with powerful pvp gear, and I would fantasize about what it would be like to have them. Every level would be one step further to that epicness. Even if it was completely unrealistic for me to hope to get that stuff, I would still see it and strive for it.

In GW2? I see a high level player and wonder if they have enjoyed their personal story. I have no desire to be level 80, none more than I do to be level 79, in fact, probably less. Level 80s will probably be finished with their personal story.

Please give me something to work for. Give me a fantasy. Otherwise, I feel unbelievably bleak in a beautiful world
