If you are not interested in entangle or SotP sure. I’d have a hard time justifying it without signet of stone though.

I usually run signet of stone when i’m full glass, but i dont see connection with glyph of unity. Can you enlighten me?

Is it worth it to take this as an elite?

Hi guys

I lost 7 ar that i had on amulet. Can u still put ar on amulet? Thanks for help.

Pets keep their names. I was really waiting for that. Guard nerfed: good job. No substantial changes whatsoever. Big fat zero imo.

Hi guys

Just an update. Framerate is back to normal; ping seems to be as usual too. Haven’t made any changes in configuration. After Thursday’s update everything was like it used to be. Dont know about you.

HI

After yesterday’s patch i experience very low framerates and high ping in game. My fps in la used to be 50+ now around 6, 7. Ping used to be around 130-150; now more than 200. I experience it in all game modes. Guildies have same problem. What’s wrong?

I’ve got a simple question: if this out of combat degeneration sucks, why was it implemented in the first place? Looks to me it’s the same old story: ranger class has something nice; can’t have that; let’s kitten it up in the name of “balance”.

kiwituatara.6053:

Sword is too hard in high level fractals. So far I’ve only met 1 ranger over the past 2 yrs that has been able to sword AA 50 fractals effectively.

I’m sorry but this is nonsense.

Irenio CalmonHuang.2048:

It means that if your pet has 5 stacks of might (durations don’t matter) and you have 10 stacks of might (durations continue to not matter) that when you hit WHAO you’ll gain 5 stacks of might for 10s and your pet will gain 10 stacks of might for 10 seconds.

Think this is perfectly acceptable. Looks like we got a dev for ranger that doesn’t only promise but also delivers. Thanks a lot, man.

Either u accept what happened two weeks ago or u don’t. I don’t accept it.

Gaile Gray.6029:

Please use this thread to provide your constructive feedback on the changes to We Heal as One. I know the developers are looking at your comments and concerns, so this merged thread will help them get the bulk of what you have to say.

Please note: If you’re rude, aggressive, or non-constructive, your posts will be removed. It’s that simple: Have a dialogue, a discussion, but please keep it valuable.

Thanks.

Gaile Gray, what do you think – the amount of feedback and ideas are quite… remarkable. The response from the devs? Not so much.

:-(

Quite an understatement I think. Why do I feel this silence is intended?

Puck.9612:

Oh I just love this…. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Stacking-buffs-out-of-control/first#post5598817

Look through the reddit responses… “Just strip/corrupt them”

See guys, there is no problem with people running around with 2 min of every boon including quickness. It’s only a problem if rangers are running around with them.

I’m sure this will be fixed as soon as an anet dev sees a ranger running with one of these zergs.

I guess a zerg with 2 mins of every boon loaded is not OP. Ranger, however, is. LOL It just shows how utterly inappropiate the response of devs was. How about this, dear devs? Any comments? Nah, still reading., Aren’t we lucky to have your ears.

Wolfey.3407:

Popping in,
The developers are reading this still. They are not going to post anything until they are certain of any changes they are going to make.

The thread is not being ignored, just not being posted in at the moment. They don’t want to shoot them selves further in the foot by saying something and not following through with it 100%.

They also don’t want to start a chain reaction of: This class raged and got ton of responses from developers so now they hate ____ and ____. So now _ and _ rage and start expecting the same thing ranger go.

Again, It would be nice if they popped in and posted more; however, they are still reading this thread. (waits to get flamed).

Good to know that at least one person is willing to act as a spokesman for devs. Would be even better if one dev could find the time to say they’re on top of this. No answers required yet lol. Just one line. Too much to ask?? I dont think so.

ahhitsjamie.3294:

bump

Any Devs with some feedback on intended changes and ETA from this thread? It’s lengthy enough at this point to merit a response beyond, “we’re watching/listening.”

Please? :/

Almost 1000 replies in this thread are not good enough to given even the smallest sign of a reply. Guess they want us to keep focusing on druid in the hope that this will go away. Just a matter of time.

Razor.9872:

This thread man…this thread.

This thread is a perfect example of what u get when Anet or devs refuse to communicate. In the end people get so frustrated that they come with remarks that are not legitimate. However, it’s far too easy to refer to these comments and use them to dismiss the whole contents of the thread. I personally have no problem with the work of the dev in charge of ranger. I do have a problem with him being overruled by another developer on such short notice and with the appalling “quality” of the “fix”.

anduriell.6280:

Just waiting from Irenio’s answer about the disappointing druid and about fixes in the ranger.
And don’t care if he is bullied at the workplace, we need someone that can fix the ranger once for all.

I’m afraid that will be a long wait. This whole WHAO-business together with the limited time to get druid right (3 weeks) just shows how much care and attention is spent on ranger. The only time ranger really gets attention is when they need to nerf a skill that gave ranger a buff lol. There were some people in this thread saying that “we had them listening”. Apparently one dev even spent some time reading the posts till late at night. All I hear is nothing. “Words, words, words and the rest is silence.”

Looks like this thread has done what’s it supposed to do: channel reactions of rangers while we’re waiting for druid hype to start. Then ignore all comments in this thread and we’re good to go. Business as usual. Feed them the druid bone while we keep them starving. lol

After all the feedback devs have received for the last three years from the ranger community and their unwillingness to implement even the slightest portion of it, they ask us now for feedback again. “We have their ear now”. Really? Like we had their ear for the last three years? Maybe they should start to realize that they have lost all credibility. Maybe they should start to realize it’s up to them to fix this instead of asking for “feedback”. Put responsibility where it should be. The ranger community is at the receiving end here. And everyone who loves to play ranger knows very well what we have received for the last three years.
The problem is not that the ranger community isn’t constructive. The problem is that constructive remarks are largely ignored by devs.

I’ve been patient for more than 3 years. Guess that’s long enough. If you look at the uproar on this forum I think it’s fair to say that I’m not the only one who’s fed up with these “fixes” especially if u compare this to what is possible for other classes.
If this is not “constructive”, you are very right. You can only wear out people’s patience for so long. So pardon me for not being “constructive” right now. I’ve been constructive for three years now. Maybe devs should be “constructive” for once. We saw how “constructive” they can be yesterday. I think we earned the right to ask for that since we’ve been waiting for three years now. I’m simply fed up with the way rangers have been treated over the last three years. Once again, I think I earned the right to be “not constructive”.

I guess their policy is to wait until all the uproar has blown over. Then it will be back to business as usual and they’ll pretend the whole thing has never happened. I really feel insulted by the speed of the nerf for WHAO compared for instance to the long period of time ele’s could run around with an OP ice bow. Warhorn 5 gets 3 stacks of might after three years lol. Warr can stack 25 might party-wide for how long now? Pets get condition damage after three years lol. Should i be grateful for this treatment? Not really. I think it’s pathetic. U wont save a starving dog by throwing him a bone occasionally. It seems that we got a steak by accident yesterday. Guess it’s back to bones again. Business as usual.

Guess the real purpose of this thread is to let people voice their anger, frustration etc. Then it will be closed as “non-productive”. Everyone will know by now that ranger isn’t allowed to have easy access to might stacking like warr. Everyone will know by now that ranger can’t have any “OP” skills for a long time like ele’s ice bow. Some might call this “balancing”. Just look at the facts and you know what this is all about. The lightning speed with which every buff for ranger gets nerfed to the bottom compared to the long overdue nerf of ele’s ice bow for instance says it all. The silence of the responsible developer for ranger says it all. The silence of developers in general says it all. What else is there to say? I guess nothing.

Azure.8670:

I was the Warrior in that party and was telling my guild how boringly low the dps was.

Have at you

LOL Now that’s really meaningful. To be honest, I can’t say if you were or not. What i do remember is that the warrior was lying on his back when we did dredge boss. I can imagine that that might have been boring to him while we finished boss.

Never try to counter sarcasm by supposedly taking it literally. It doesnt work. “Observe, learn and counter in an intelligent way”. Just saying.

You didn’t even understand what was my 1st reply trying to say. There’s nothing to learn here. I was just trying to show you that your reply was the one of an egoistic self-centered person.

If I really wanted to counter something I’d try to make you look like an idiot (something similar to what you tried to). But why would an intelligent person do that, I cannot tell.
Why people are always looking for a quarrel theses days… Just why.

Was I looking for a quarrel? Am I an egoistic self-centered person? Do I look like an idiot? LOL My friend, the intentions you claim you had and the way you phrase them contradict one each other. I guess any person with some common sense can easily see how you reveal your own shining personality. It’s tragic that you dont have the intelligence to see that, just tragic.

Never try to counter sarcasm by supposedly taking it literally. It doesnt work. “Observe, learn and counter in an intelligent way”. Just saying.

Tragic Positive.9356:

Don’t you think that majority of Forum Rangers are the ones who can use logic instead of aesthetic feeling?
To explain it in English – that most of Rangers you see here know the difference between playing and role-playing?

I humbly apologize for my limited intelligence, o mighty Forum Ranger, but I do not grasp your well-phrased and to the point remark. Once again, I humbly apologize.

There I was ….

doing fractals lvl 50 (warr, guard, necro, two rangers). The whole run went very smoothly (swamp, cliffside, dredge) but my fellow ranger was expressing his surprise that things went so smoothly “consdering there are two rangers” (his words). Kept sucking up other players kitten that way a couple of times more. Had to bite my tongue to keep quiet. The thought never occurred to him that things might go smoothly just because there were two capable rangers in party. Some fellow rangers seem to be under the impression that they should be grateful to be accepted in a party. Have some pride, for god’s sake.

Which one is better in fractals? I think remorseless because of fury stacking in group. Solo play predator’s onslaught preferable? Your ideas?

Im not talking about balance. Im talking about how easily people accept opinions without giving them any further thought. Criticize me for what i say; not for what i dont say.
It’s the oldest trick in the world. U ignore what i really say; instead u put words in my mouth that i never said and u blame me for them lol. Get real, pal.
Your example shows how much u know about ranger. Stowing pet doesnt work if u take a tick of damage, as u point out. However, as long as u have pet on inactive, it wont draw aggro. Only the ranger can draw aggro in that case. Get the facts right. That’s my whole point. And try to make a distinction between opinions that are presented as facts and facts. Of course, that implies that u really know what u are talking about.

Love the way this Zenith guy likes to show his “expertise” on ranger. One example: he blames ranger for not having any meaningful aoe. Very true. Does he blame warrior for not having any meaningful aoe too? He could also blame ranger for not having any portals. Very meaningful, indeed. It’s one thing if u dont like a class. It’s another thing if u pretend to give objective information, but barely can hide your own prejudices against a class. Btw, i have warr, guardian, ranger as 80s. Ranger is my main since it’s much more fun. And, unlike some highvoiced contributors here, I do know what I’m talking about.

The so-called “elitism” is just a nice word for prejudices against certain classes that are built on what idiots say and which are gladly taken over by other idiots who’d like to look competent.
A case in point: “I understand ranger and necro do not bring as much dps or group buffs than other classes”.
What i understand is that this guy doesn’t know anything about ranger. He’s just repeating what he hears from other idiots. Been playing fractals as ranger since they were introduced. I know nothing about necro, so I dont have an opinion on necro. Unfortunately, most people just copy opinions without even thinking.
I accept every class in fractals as long as the player knows what he is doing. It’s a simple rule, boys and girls: it’s never the class, it’s always the player.

Guess what? Victory and death is still bugged.

Hi

Just finished fractal run. Was clearing my inventory. I have two items in inventory now that make game crash the second i click on them. Rest of inventory i could clear without any problem. I got this message: " Unbound collectible item in non-locked set: (19572)." Anyone any idea how to solve this?

Well i did go to weaponsmith and asked to be weaponsmith, but im at level 0. so i’m back to the beginning.

Hi

I had weaponsmith on warrior lvl 500. I crafted ascended greatsword with it for my ranger last summer. Now i wanted to craft some ascended weapons for my guardian and weaponsmith doesnt show up on guild roster. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?

A recent example of how things have been: the change to healing spring. Now it doesnt trigger automatically any more, but behaves like a trap. Great thinking. What profession needs to wait for its heal to trigger? Dont fix what isn’t broken, fix what is broken. I have adapted all the time, but in the end it gets irritating. Btw 4.9 k hours on ranger since start.

Good players recognize other good players. The whining/hating population are poor players that blame others for them being poor players. They can just ……. (feel free to add your own opinion).

Since druid can wield staff skills will be probably related to staff. Dont have high hopes to be honest. I can only hope i’m wrong.

Dont feed the trolls, guys. U just get him to feel that he’s actually saying something worthwhile. Guess it’s his moment of glory. lol

Any other way to get defender runes besides getting it from bandit’s chest?

Guess the ignorant fool is desperately trying to find a ranger that he can kill. Guess he thinks opening his mouth is the same as knowing what he is talking about. Guess he is a kiddie trying to be big boy. Guess what…..

“Unless you like to become a support that is all they are good for..
The pet is useless and the Bow is useless in a one on one battle. I feel like i am more of a cleric/supporter than a ranger in the Mists..Other People Character have more immunity against the ranger it is all most impossible to win..I switch character and became a thief and i have not lost a match with a ranger or a so called Mages they are easy to beat.If you like to heal and support and have a weak pet. This class is for you..Other than that dont expect anything else..”

Anyone who knows how to play ranger immediately understands this guy has no clue what he’s talking about. He even admits it himself unwillingly by saying he changed to thief lol. But he still thinks he’s an expert on ranger. Another shining example of stupidity.

“That may be true in your hands, but I can tell you I’ve beaten many condition engineers on my ranger. All I know is that when I play zerker ranger after the recent balance changes I feel way too strong. To the point that I want to play a bm build or condi build for a challenge. It just seems waaay to easy to bait out a dodge or two and then press 4, 2 lmaoezmode endgaged. And if it doesn’t work try again in a short CD”

I stand in awe for your ranger skills. If u need a challenge: try playing ranger without armour in wvw. Much more of a challenge than bm or condi ranger. I do it all the time and with great success. I’ll post a video later on.

Another poor thief that wants to hide in stealth and be invulnerable for as long as he pleases. Then starts complaining on ranger forum when he finds out he isn’t. What’s new? I’d like to have armour of warr; stealth of thief, aoe of ele, boons of guardian on my ranger. Unfortunately, I don’t. Stop whining , l2p or talk to Santa Claus.

I shake my head at all the nonsense u read on this forum. There was a time when it was worthwhile to come here. I wonder if there are more professions that are in favour of possible nerfs to their own profession. I doubt it. Instead of advocating nerfs to ranger we’d better talk about buffs we could tolerate. I guess this is what happens when fools get a forum to voice their so-called expert opinions. I agree with Mfoy: Dumbest thread so far. Let’s see if we can do any better than this. Go for it boys and girls. I know u can do it! (Looking at u Darksyze).

Rangers are competitive. Dont know where u have been in the meantime. Keyword is “really” here. What do u mean with that? Press one button and everything is down? If u expect ranger to be a compilation of all the best skills of other classes, u need to wake up.

Can’t understand the hype about staff. If u want to use a staff, play some other class. What’s the thing about being druid? Mesmer with medium armour?

Is this true: u run runes of the ranger, your pet is dead and u still get bonus damage if u have a minipet equipped?

Think u nailed it. Thanks a lot. Couldnt figure it out.

How come i have more power in hero panel with soldier’s gear than berserker’s gear? Difference is 19 points. The power stats are the same for both kinds of gear. The armour runes are also identical.

Why do we even pay attention to this kind of nonsense?
