Guild Wars 2

my Engi is called " Medic Pack "

if you factor in what i just told you thats a difference of 300 toughness, 4k HP, 6% crit chance, 2 more CC options, and an instant Big Damage skill.

the Rifle warrior is everything that a longbow Ranger should be.

id like to add something here.

my ranger is almost full acended ( missing 4 armour pieces)
my warrior is full exotic ( no acended)

both of these classes use ranged weapons ( rifle and longbow )

my warrior has more damage, more CC, more health, more toughness not to mention i can crit 20k+ kill shots pretty much guaranteed and instantly.
( 2300 toughness, 20k hp, 4 CC options, + more precision & crit chance 60+% unbuffed )

my Ranger, does a 17k Rapid fire that takes 4-5 seconds to build. auto hits for 2.5k-3k( AT MAX RANGE) anything lower its at 1.7k-2k.. i have 16k hp, 2000 toughness and to my count only 2 CC options. my pet also suffers slow sluggish dps. 54% crit chance

so go figure.. Warriors are just a step ahead. and those stats are comparing a "full acended " ranger against a warrior with full exotics.

both of these characters are full Zerkers.

the Priory are scholars and usually run by Asura

Engineers are intelligent ( read Bio) can create potions and turrets

Mesmers are Scholars by class background. light armour deal with magic and " Mind spells "

Engineer or Mesmer ??

Flipped a camp pretty fast..

Axe/axe power signet ranger 30/30/0/10/0

Aoe dmg alll round.

ive been playing ranger since launch, and i feel really squishy in spvp lately..

is the 30/10/30/0/0 Condition ranger still viable?
Entangle, signet of stone, sharpen blades, QZ

cant seem to do enough dmg or stay alive.. even with 3100 armour

only good thing about gw2 is WvWvW. but even that gets ruined when people Spy on other servers.
we need Tanks, and more roles for supportive people and more single roaming options..

even on WoW you could go into a Battleground and do alot of work for your team solo.

nah it gets repetitive. and not in a good way. WoW was addictive because there was far more depth in the game and lots and lots of different things to do.

when i was bored on WoW, i would GANK people and raid citys

to the guy that said roll a mesmer… i have a mesmer and a ranger..

pets are useless and i shudnt need to reroll after putting so much effort into my ranger..
and rerolling doesnt solve problems.

changing the AI of the pet will mess the game up. so this is the only solution i can think of that makes our pets IMPORTANT. and gives us build diversity.

our class with these changes would still be pet based and relevant to the BIO of a RANGER

When pets are on passive they give a random Effect to the RANGER for example,

Jaguar = " +5% dmg, "
Jungle cat = " 50% on hit to grant might "
Snow leopard = " Chance to do chill and condition duration increased"
Drake Ice Drake = " attacks do chill "
Drake Salamander = " attacks do fire dmg "
Drake River = " attacks have 20% chance to cause lightning strike"
Drake Reef = " Attacks cause confusion"
Polar Bear = " Gain Vitality and chance to chill "
Brown/ black Bear = " Gain Vitality and toughness "
Eagle / Hawk = "Bleeds are 10% more effective "
Raven = " chance to blind on Hit "
Devourer = " Attacks have a chance to hit twice"
Moa = " Gain Random Boon per 10sec"
Wolf= " Crowd controll are 20% more effective"
Pig = " gain Healing power"
Warthog = " gain precision"
Boar = " gain power"
Siamoth = " gain condition dmg "

What do you guys think? they are sort of like Preparations from Gw1.

the pet will always be visible, but not active. soo it stays true to the ranger Bio. " has a companion pet"

just gives us a chance in pvp and pve to not lose efficiency, due to the pet dieing or causing issues

like add 1 minor, 1 master , 1 grandmaster trait to each line.

wilderness could get the traps
skirminshing could get sword traits
beastmaster could get pet change traits ( enlargement)
marksmen could get shortbow traits

just a thought but if we are limited the only pick out of the traits we got atm it limits our builds.
logically adding an extra trait to each part of each line would give us different ways to play.

this could be given to all Classes not just Ranger. and would solve a few problems.

why don’t you add more Traits?
wouldn’t this give you the opportunity to add trap traits to wilderness and sword traits to skirmishing… etc

it would give us more build diversity

seems we’ve been having spies from other servers joining in our WvW.

Could you make a new report option, we would like to report “Spies&leechers”

do a " 5 reports = kick off Borderlands" rule or something

not fair gameplay.

not one for naming the drakkar spies but it seems they were in a guild with the tag [xXx]
they were not attacking or responding to commands just following and being a pain.

bit sad really..

or giving Rangers a " Kill shot" type of ability .. would be nice to combo it with a hunter shot for example .. rapid fire seem like it should be on a shortbow..

just to point out a Skill Bug.. the Pet Stats are still not showing changes from traits ( 350 condition " "30% crit dmg "

could you fix that please.

oh and could you show how much damage longbow and harpoon gets on Eagle eye trait please.. theres no % on the trait.

also PLEASE make it viable to choose between a Pet and a Preparation like Gw1 " Apply Poison" " fire arrows" etc

pets are too sloppy to be considered half of my dps..

Don’t get our Guild [WAR] mixed up with the BT [WAR]
Theres 2 big guilds sporting the WAR tag
we was on RoS before BT WAR transfered

a Dev commented in the General discussion :

Ranger
Sick ‘Em will now apply ‘Revealed” to enemies they target. We want to introduce some counter play to Stealth (players have asked for that for a while), so we thought a pet “catching your scent” might be a cool way to insinuate some anti-stealth into the game.

To help Rangers support allies, we increased the ability ranger pets have to support allies. For instance, the Bear condition removal isn’t strong enough, so we’ll be improving that. Moas and Fern Hound will also be improved.

There will also be # changes to some of the Ranger weapons.

Pet HP split between PvE and PvP
We wanted to make pets and summons more viable in PvE/WvW while making sure they didn’t become too strong in PvP.

i have forgotten my serial code for my gw1 account and cannot retrieve the password and username.. because the email used was an old one.

the only thing i remember is the names i used. and possibly some old passwords..

can you help me link it to my gw2 account please, ive tried everything. i have my gw1 special edition and faction and nightfall infront of me but with no serial cards or numbers ( lost them )

thanks

This game is boring.
i have more excitement playing PS1 Rayman…
or Mario Kart.

id call this game a Slow, repetitive, buggy version of an MMO.

would it kill them to put something hillairous in there…… like Random Lion Arch Raids from the Skritt..
who wield Fish as Swords…

not these predictable Events that you can see in the top right hand side of your screen.

Exactly. its such a simple fix….

the AI would be much more bearable .

i played Ranger in gw1, Ranger will always be about pets…. yeah in Gw1 you had to have the skill " Charm pet " to have one but it was kinda silly not to have it. unless you was a trap ranger….

well i have sent one in the suggestions forum. there is no harm in getting the word out.

please spread the word. if you support the idea.

i would try the Axe/axe combo. Path of scars is pretty good for spike dps

Why can’t pets have a trait line?

instead of traits that increase attack or defense. have traits that change the way the pet reacts to situations.

here are 5 examples,

Trait 1: if pet takes more than 50% dmg from AOE. pet retreats to Master.
Trait 2: if pet is imobilzed, set Mode to Passive.
Trait 3: never switch target after first auto hit.
Trait 4: if Master is being attacked, retreat back to master in aggresive mode.
Trait 5: if commanded to be passive stay/ sit at location

i think this would solve the AI issue we cant have hundreads of different " non beneficial traits " that could be set to pets. and it gives us more Diversity.
each ranger with his own lets say " Pet management Trait line " within the pet interface.

in short. give pets their own Trait tree within the pet interface.
STICKY?

id like to add,
THESE TRAITS WOULD BE IN THE PET INTERFACE. NOT THE RANGER TRAITLINE INTERFACE

love how realistic it is … throw axe… axe magically reappears back in hand.
Axe is and always will be known as a Melee weapon. in Real life and in games.

i mainly WvW. im a ranger so i dont PVE… lol
why cant we buy PVT gear for gold

pets are such a hassle now tho.. i find myself just keeping them by my side just to use the F2 skill.

Sword + dagger, Alot of Vigor uptime, 8 evasive skills
3k Toughness
3600 AP
26% crit chance
77% crit dmg
21k hp

weapon swap for Axe/axe combo for Block projectiles and gap closer. or Greatsword to benefit from trait + gap closer.

pets:

Wolf – Fear
Jungle spider = Stun

what you think?

so my stats are the following ,
3649ap
53% crit chance
121% crit dmg
2160 toughness
17k hp

i used full Signets with 30/30/0/10/0
so i have been testing my skills in WvW and PvE
yesterday i did my world record of a 18k+ Path of Scars Crit.
( 9k both ways = 18k ) against my friend who has 2600 toughness
PVE Boss in COF i did 12k ( 6k both ways )

This Axe is doing more dmg than my longbow is with rapiid fire and it only takes 2 seconds to do the dmg.. whereas the Longbows Rapid fire.. seems to take for ever to build up enough dmg…
i know what you are thinking, you cant compare different skills on different weapons.. but the point I’m trying to get across is , i saw Axes as melee weapons and they do more dmg than my actual range weapons at range..

so much for being the class that is efficient with Bows…. Please Change it to Efficient with Axes and one handed Swords…

on another note. with the pet dmg nerf.. i now use my pets as a Line of Sight Shield.
wtf is up with Pets doing 200 dmg per hit… IF they hit…

YES THIS IS A QQ THREAD. and its a shame.. i will just go play with Torment on my Mesmer.
