Running longbow/axehorn with that pet buff share and signet might stacking… you can figure how much im enjoying my cat high bite and heavy damage AA. Ive been waiting this for sooooo long i think a lot of people are about to die

Running 20 in marks 20 in skirmish 15 nature magic 15 or so about in BM
Im a beastmaster pet based build by default so how do i kill people? Well simply put longbow allow for damage spike knockdown cripple AOE damage might on crit spam and skirmish line is full of trait related to signets such as 3 might for 17 second and reduced cooldown. Spending 90% of my time buffed like crazy with might stacks or just going rampage with size enlargement its not as much the read the wind trait as my ability to have decent spiking upkeep something i couldnt get before when SOTB was still a trait and that longbow did peanut style damage now not only can i stack might like crazy (tons of hit at high rate im enjoying constant might proc as well as my pet) but i also hit serious damage. I think that change is most welcome to all ranger who didnt want to run that silly sword build to begin with (currently running axe-horn/Longbow in a go 25 might stack fashion style)
Tbh all sword ranger may be anoyed by longbow behing buffed but all those people who DIDNT want to run sword in the firstplace are currently in heavenmode (the day ill run one handed sword on a ranger ill just switch to thief lol)

Well RF is actualy a tactical combo skill id say… Use the longbow knockdown or the pet knockdown/immobilize then use RF to burn the damage. It was that way in the beta it just happen people dont remember that before all those awfull nerf the ranger endured before release longbow could have been considered a respectable weapon in pvp. What i like is not the longbow as much as my ability to benefit from signet of the wild and signet of the hunter witheout that ridiculus marksmanship grandmaster trait. GO GO ZERKER MODE we fight as one my pets!

Well the game didnt had an actual effective ranged dps meta build prior to this patch… i expect all sword ranger to switch to longbow soon or at least a good part of them. Ranger can finaly play the role it was suposed to. Aka the longrange heavy damage dealer.

Simple reminder to thief backstab lovers… backstab doesnt have a serious cooldown and is easily spammable, rapid fire isnt. Put bluntly RF is the long deserved tool ranger ned to actualy play a power build effectively the same way warrior runs 2h swords, there is no reason why it should be nerfed. If RF is to have increased channel time it would need that damage increased exponentialy. Same goes for weakened damage the channeling time should decrease as well.

Now thats laughable the thief who spam One shots with backstab cries about ranger tracking from rapid fire and the long nerf overdue warrior cry because now ranger can actualy keep up with their highly overpowered hambow self regen build in a ranged fight. You guys are plenty ridiculus ranger by default was supose to be designed as the distance fighter, as such that ranger possess low evade and one of the best ranged weapon style in the game is legitimate. Warrior longbow better then ranger longbow? Please stop dreaming it wasnt supose to work that way since day one! To make longbow rapid fire and everything else viable as a damage weapon was the best thing they ever did in the whole year. We might even see ranger in pve dungeon meta running something else then that stupid shortsword build. Honestly im going for a signet/pet might fusion spammer build with that and its rocking the hell out.
Ranger still is as squishly and defenceless as ever save now instead of behing a free loot bag its actualy a deadly long range glass cannon wich is what it should have been since the start.

It seems they finaly started to add beastmastery themed ability. That change to the signet is already a + i hope they keep up that way with pet based ability
I hope they keep working toward making beastmastery a full fledged spec amonst ranger. In the meanwhile a few additionnal pet strike based ability would be welcome

Most boss such as spider are easily doable by stacking in a corner where the boss main mechanic such as web breath weapon will not work. since the boss only hit one player at a time it makes prety much fight where the player should actualy avoid standing still a joke fest. An exelent way to kill stacking would to provide the bosses the ability to do cleaving attack with their auto attack ability. This effectively makes all the 5 player take serious damage at the same time and force them to spread out so not to have the party obliterated into 5 or 6 hit.
Im not doing the promotion of stuff like tanking or healing maniac here but actualy of actual good dungeon fighting because people have been hiding in the corners for to long.
before anyone cry about this idea behing lame ill remind you that most of the boss you people are stacking on werent designed with the idea of standing still in a corner to avoid all the boss mechanics and taking hits while overhealing everything you guys are suposed to dodge and move around.

A weapon that actualy proc pet attack the same thing as Guild Wars 1 Beast mastery moveset? Sure why not, i dont see them making utility to proc stuff like brutal strike anyway but why not on a weapon? Staff has been the beast master emblem for generations until spear/shield took over.
I like the whip idea but what would the other class do with a whip (unless they make it a transformation skill for the ranger only?).

Got to love the doubled damage Under 50% and mass degen with heavy damage was all the point of it at that point the pet was like a constant 33% increased attack speed sword/shield warrior with high movement speed or improved damage that had uber survivability + the ability to ressurect constantly but had its deep wound replaced with poison instead.
Those guys where all like (Oh its just a ranger… what is she doing with a staff and a pet? OMG help its eating me!)… ill remember those assasins screams for years…

i actualy prefered brutal strike (the damage equivalent to ranger of warrior final trust without the ridiculus adrenaline cost and a somewhat short cooldown) coupled with the Lucky 7 bleed/poison degen heal as one symbiotic link build wich both had the damage and the survivability in it :/ sad you ned to keep charm animal in pvp else id had brought myself even more damage XD
Enraged lunge was also mighty but lacked the self survivability of heal as one (7 second cd 180 heal + endless pet ressurection… woot?)

16-14 cheerleader could indeed do a comeback in GW2 and with the possible addition of staff as a ranger weapon it would actualy make much sense. Cheerleader was actualy one of the best form of symbiotic build in the game… the pet hits the ranger heals… the ranger direct the pets the pet deals damage, the ranger heal itself the pet heals, the ranger shout at the pet the pet go for the kill. Having a big angry rainbow pheonix or a jingle bear never felt so fun since (i can still taste their fear… and tears)
Since Number 1# would exist in the form of aspect wich the dev actualy got interested in why would the reverse not exist as well?

those are base mechanics that can make it actualy working… it wont make it viable however. The pet deals to few damage and those change will only make it actualy be Worth it as an accessory for non pet build. glass cannon Pet focused build will need more love then just that to be viable as a damage specialisation.
Everything in the game point to the fact pet are supose to be the ranger main heavy damage source (from might to pet on crit to give all buff you get to pet) in some way pet is supose to be MORE buffed then the ranger itself yet despite all of this it still deals ordinary damage at best. You guys want a glass cannon spec to ranger… well you wont get it based on the ranger damage itself thats for sure, anet dont want ranger as anything more then a progressive damage/control specialisation and thats been the case even in GW1 however pet has always been the heavy direct damage side of the ranger profession and it would make most sence if it actualy came back as such.

Dont you wish you could hit chains like warrior and guardian for 16k+? Im just proposing to put the pet to the same lvl as them at the cost of making the ranger inefective damage Wise. Im not talking about health point and armor just about damage as a general rule. Of course we would be fighting… but at this point once axe/longbow/shortbow deals the same damage as sword/greatsword… wich would you think youd choose to buff up your pet with might stacks? If we blurr the lines off damage to the point its more of a question of utility rather then dps done is longbow/axe so bad yet? I dont think so, and actively buffing the pet trought fight doesnt necesarily mean dealing damage. If longbow/axe actualy happened to deal the same damage as sword they both would be in a better line for beast mastery spec then sword would.
As a reminder many of those ‘’pet buff’’ traits are stuck in the wrong traitline in the first place and should be removed from the game or recalled back to beast mastery as many player subjested. What im proposing here is a true pet based build without the risk of having the ranger dealing overpowered combined damage by recalling all this damage back to the pet when traited as such.
This also bring in a new fighting circonstance to the game
Today: ignore the useless pet focus the ranger
Tomorow: burn down the dangerous pet then aim for the vulnerable ranger

Pet ranger as they are todays are a pale shadow of what the class used to be… what im proposing here is something a lot of player might deem absurd… blasphemous even!
What im proposing is the reverse of the pet removal… the pet stat focus as the ranger itself withdraw from the scene and work as the actual directing hand.
The curent balance of damage power in ranger even on a BM is about of
40% – ranger
to
60% – pet
What im proposing is a return to the beastmaster of guild wars 1 via a trait aka
1% – ranger
to
99% – pet
Now how does this work… Ranger technicaly sacrifice its whole power, ferocity, precision and condition damage stats and transfer it to its pet aka a stat transfer of 100% of damage done. The interest of it is ranger still can cause various crowd control or effect that power up his pet via weapon ability and utility but becomes a passive tamer behind the beast whos purpose is to take command and direct it (the guild wars 1 staff beastmaster 16 BM 14 expertise) The cool stuff is pet actualy now gets to deal serious direct damage and act as melee hammer of the same damage lvl as a warrior where the ranger can keep a distance and buff from affar. However as a cost to the ranger finaly behing able to reunite all its damage coeficient in a single attacker the ranger itself is technicaly unable to deal damage (or at least act as a minor dot at best) and must fight trought its beast companion.
Put a trait in grandmaster or master beastmastery and call it ‘’beast tamer’’ it would definitively open up a new form of specialisation to ranger or at least make it into a full archtype of its own.

Pet maximum damage (done with all self buffing as well as a fully charged elite) – 210
Warrior maximum damage (executed with the axe attack elite) – 180
Explanation: in Guild wars 1 a sinister pet wich is fully buffed up can score hits way above what a warrior can do all while maintaining a permanant 21 damage reduction high speed attack rate and powerfull Healing, Pets also could be endlessly called back to life using heal as one without any death penality.
In close to all way warrior were inferior to pet ranger (bad heal less tanky less damage) save for the fact that despite their lower damage they could chain knockdown any target to its doom using a well balanced hammer build but to even do that they ned to sacrifice close to all form of survivability. The ranger itself had non existant damage as a compensation but the pet alone acted as a heavy dps powerhouse. Pet were the heavy physical damage aspect of the ranger and reflected the bestial power of nature well.
In guild wars 2
The Ranger always possess decent damage regardless of traiting but pet was highly weakened as a consequance. While the damage ratio of a beast master ranger was of 1% ranger to 99% pet the damage ratio of a BM ranger in Guild wars 2 is actualy at best of 40% ranger to 60% pet and this result into them as a team dealing fairly decent damage but behing extremely weak individualy. Pet also has a very long recharge cooldown on death dies to nearly anything and cannot dodge wich makes it prey to about every AOE attack. While my Jingle bear could solo tank Duncan in GW1 my Jaguard in guild wars 2 needs to be constantly watched on to keep it alive. They need to at least make pet specialising better then this.

Guild Wars 2 still is a Superior quality MMO despite all that was said and done. However there is several reason ill likely play ESO for a while and they are
1. i finished the game with all class (80 and geared)
2. got a craft to 500
3. got a high level in fractals (more then i ever hoped for)
4. tried the stronguest build and played them (aka most meta)
5. Finished prety much everything Worth doing in this game and since there is no actual new permanant content Worth myself dedicating to i need to keep myself busy with something interesting
for all those reason ill likely go to a downgraded quality MMO as you call it and play it so to do something ’’NEW’’ Scarlet was in no way something as great or interesting as in an expension and i didnt actualy bother to spend time doing her storyline. Since april doesnt seems to bring anything interesting ill be just leaving for a while and play something new until GW2 itself has something new as well. Its not a question of game quality its just that like everyone i like doing something ’’new’’.

im actualy more concerned about the fact that the change from critical to ferocity is actualy just their first step in their attempt to put damage to the same level as other specialisation… they are normalising the damage so to go for the next step… i can explain it in a comparison
The butcher tenderise the meat… before it is bought and utherly cooked up
Currently Anet is tenderising the critical damage stat so to make it easyer to post nerf it accordingly (its easyer to downgrade raw numbers then percentage…)
‘’This wont end well’’… or at least it will for zerker based players.

I wouldnt ditch out necromancer short so quickly yet… Minion master and conditionmancer both are very dangerous threat in pvp when played right and can easily topple down builds like warriors who runs on health regeneration and buffing with mass debuff and poisons. heck is their fear also allows them for a long time crowd control. Thief is good at playing hide and seek but thats prety much all its epic at.
Dare to put in your stability ill boon strip it from you… I dont care if you have zerker stance or not… it doesnt immunise you to my knockdown, nothing will as long as i got a focus in my offhand. You better have a lot of strong aoe because your prety warrior will get swarmed and pummeled to death… Put a thief in against me and your only escape is stealth, if i ever manage to immobilize you with my dagger or my minion your a goner. Mesmer are trickyer as they can disapear constantly hide behing multi targets and got near endless stun/immobilize breaker.
