^Wrong
Someone form TP wanted to main ranger. His ranger is lvl 80 but in sPVP he cannot use ranger. He told me himself to forget ranger in tpvp
Is there any plans to look at Ranger?
Currently ranger is the weakest class in tPVP. In fact top guilds like TP and SS don’t ever use a Ranger and tell you themselfs that Ranger is horrible in tPVP.
Basically Everything Ranger can do, other classes can do better.
I think it was nerfed
While stealthed Jaguar does high damage
It removes stun but doesn’t roll you back
It doesn’t break immobilze
Other stun breakers like Roll for Initative do remove immobilze
I play thief and I don’t even use heart seeker.
Death Blossom FTW
Hello,
How do Ranger and Thief perform in WvW?
I know that Rangers can use Longbow to do high damge over all, and thief can pull people from wall with Scorpion Wire.
I wish to choose a main to get to 80. I will get both classes to 80 but I don’t know which I level first for WvW
Anyone has an effective tpvp build?
I see longbow is useful in foefire due to sitting on cliff shooting down at graveyard but..
try tournament pvp.
spvp is randoms…
The thing i hate is how they ruined my Ranger and Mesmer from GW1
are we playing same game?
PW has only .5 second stun, and it PLANTS the thief during animation. you can just dodge..
l2p backstab or bleed spec thief
Dump,
How are dual pistol thiefs in pve?
I saw an advertisment for GW2 hacks in BWE2. I’m suprirsed this wasn’t squelched before game went live.
Things it can dp:
Permanent endurance
Permanent speed
Permanent stealth
Increase in damage…
ALl conditions on target, all boons on you
Permanent boons (however I think it is limited to one boon)A.Net needs to get on their game.
Permanent endurance
Sigil of Energy on Weapons, Keep swapping
Permanent speed
Swiftness Stacks Duration. Example is warrior using gain Swiftness on Crits can get 1min+ of Swiftness
Permanent stealth
There is no such thing as permament stealth. Its called using all stealth skills after each other
Increase in damage…
Might Stacking. Runes, Vurnabity etc
ALl conditions on target, all boons on you
Corrupt Boon from Necromancer
Rune set of Lyssa. Get all Boons when you use Elite
Permanent boons (however I think it is limited to one boon)
Again weapon switching and buffs. Example is warrior spamming for Great Justice. He will always have 6 stacks of might
L2P
dump for fix! /15char
I confirm its still bugged
I cannot understand all these posts about wanting the Ranger to not have pets and instead have rifles. Play a Warrior, or an Engineer. They are exactly the same as a Ranger without Pets but with Rifles, only more!
Those of us who traditionally play Rangers know that they have had pets since an AD&D2E Kit (I think that was the first) and rifles are completely contradictory to the class.
Sorry pets are horrible and useless. They only cause you wipes and lower Ranger’s dps by 40%
What if ranger gets massive stat buff IF he does not use pet (think of it like merge)
People then have a choice of using pet or not.
I would definitly never use pet if this make it in
I mean choose class.
Does RANGED Thief work? Dual Pistol?
I tried shortbow on thief. Its awesome AoE damage and condtions. Gas Bomb + Cluster Bomb !
Reroll. No really.
Longbow have low dps, Shortbow does more damage from front (excluding bleed) then longbow.
Pets are 40% damage from Ranger, problem is pets are currently BUGGED and unresponsive
At one point in development, the ranger was split into two different professions, the warden and the marksman. Eventually these two were merged into the ranger again.

Currently there are 3 Adventurer Professions, 3 Scholars Professoins and only 2 Soldier
Split Ranger back in 2 again. Make a Soldier profession Warden aka BEASTMASTER. Make an actual proper Ranger profession one without pet but Master of Range that can use Rifles, Pistols, Longbow and Shortbow like rangers in other Games, with NO PET
Well, you can always dismiss your pet and run without one? To each his/her own. I personally loved playing my ranger with his pet, but you can run one without a pet if it really ruins the profession for you.
Well Pets are 40% of Ranger DPS. My problem is how unresponsive and dumb pets are.
Ranger Pet in a nutshell:
Aggro while Gathering
Using F2 when you don’t want to
Worst Offense: Aggroing mobs while in dungeons causing wipes
Hello,
I been playing GW1 since launch. In GW1 I loved Mesmer and Ranger.
I loved the Domination Mesmer, how you control and Interupt.
I loved Ranger and his versatility. I could run, Barrage AoE Barrage solo farm, interput, pressure etc.
In GW2, I hate Mesmer and its horrible Phantasm Mechanic (Yay I put 3 Phantasms up and kite around). In PvE they are horrible to level.
In GW2, I hate Ranger because I am FORCED to use pets. Pets are horrible no matter the game, the only time I used pet in GW1 is for body blocking as Barrage/P Ranger and Bunny Thumper PvP.
I cannot choose class in GW2 due to my favourite class have been ruined by pets with horrible AI.
I was thinking of making a dual pistol Thief, but I always loved Rangers in games without pets.
Never liked the spirit build in the first place. I love my greatsword/longbow build. I have huge control in combat and can win any 1 v 1. I make the perfect roamer and can defend any node or take any node.
I find it hard to belive since Longbow is really horrible. Its only useful for pushback. Longbow is great for WvW though
Is it me or rangers do lack in sPVP, espically tPVP.
Since nerf of Spirit build, only roamer works. Other classes fill the role of roamer better
