Guild Wars 2

for me the most fun profession is powerranger, it is pretty easy on long range, but in melee range i have to fight hard to survive, or to defeat the enemy…, i love it

and soon reaper, becouse i like the shroud mechanic and greatswords

today i played a game with my engi and i got five rampages in a row

i was surprised, though

yeah, those builds doesnt have any counter play, its not absolutely just you ^^

in my opinion mesmers having stealth is not the problem

i think the problem is, that mesmers can do dps while being stealthed, becouse of phantasms

if phantasm attacks would break mesmers stealth other classes would get a solid counter play and the mesmer would need to think, if he wants to dps enemy, or to play defensive in stealth

if you think, that mesmer coudnt stealth ever again, becouse of phantasms breaking mesmers stealth, than keep in mind, that phantasms have an attack speed/cd, in between those attacks mesmers would be able to stealth, its just, that mesmers would have need to start playing proper

this is some next lvl reasoning

anet, better do what he suggested

i have played more than 8k pvp games, about 1,5k are hotjoin games

i dont rly like hotjoin, i join it sometimes to do daily achievements quickly and to test some builds

the only problem which i have with mantras is, that mesmers can recharge them instantly after they used them, becouse the cd starts, when they are charged and not when they are used

entertaining vid, thx

if only ppl woudnt stand into those wells like scrubs

i hope, that anet will add new pets

my wish is to have a lion

it is not becouse of your build, or your class, some special kind of ppl whine all the time, when they get defeated, no matter what you play

there is something, that you can do with them

you can vendor them and you can collect them, isnt that enough? ^^

becouse i like it

just wow…, how about reading the first feature patch notes, instead of assuming some bullkitten?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-April-15-2014

if you want to have shoulders with your chars you will have to lvl them to rank15, becouse there arent lvl2 shoulders

a hint from me…., use los (line of sight) and after ranger used his nr2 pressure him in melee range

sarcasm: oh, there is a random ranger on enemys team on higher ground…, what will i do? i will stand in the middle of that node, i guess….,kitten op ranger used his nr2 and i deaded QQ

sometimes i play ranked pvp games with my dungeon master title on to pretend im a superduper dungeon master

some ppl (in general thieves) get rly mad about it, that they lost to a dungeon master ^^

lion

a quick suggestion from me…..try to even out the fights on node

just look where your teammates and your opponents are, move, dont down/stomp one guy with 3, dont run alone into outnumbered fights, count numbers and scout respawn (guess where your opponents will push), reinforce and never cap a node with more than 1 guy

i played one ranked game with my ranger

prebuffed swiftnes with warhorn

coudnt change back to my greatsword

played the game with longbow and warhorn

would be nice, if we could be notified about such changes
(i personaly dont mind, that we cant prebuff and change weapons afterwards anymore)

this is for free from me

when you get moaed click nr5 imidiatly, run away from mesmer, use dodge and nr2 to jump and dodge again if needed

after 10 secs turn around and defeat the mesmer*, youre welcome

*a defeat of the mesmer is not guaranteed

rly? everyday someone is finding another “broken” ranger skill

are you sure, that whats rly “broken” isnt your gameplay? maybe get good at first? dont forget, that powerranger sucked pre patch

and if you are asking for nerfs, than deliver also suggestions

l2p….you cant expect to play in the same way as you used to play pre patch, becouse some things have changed, you need to adapt your gameplay

some hints from me:
-use reflect if possible and needed
-do not ignore the ranger as you used to do pre patch, instead pressure him in melee range
- improve your map awareness and use los

rangers arent the free loot bags anymore, the times are gone

and if you ask for nerfs (not that it is to early to ask for), how about some suggestions?

my opinion on this is,
that you cant ignore ranger anymore in the fights as before the patch

now you need to pressure the ranger(in melee range) fast enough, or you die,
or maybe consider to use reflect skills, which were almost unused pre patch

i want a lion

am i dreaming? O.O powerranger might become viable!?

lets see what the other six classes will get

reroll………

i would like to write about the parrot from the pirate runes and ranger pets

-the range in wich the pet followed the enemy was dicreased, becouse the pet kept the enemy in fight, while the ranger could reset himself…, but the parrot is fine?

-petdmg was dicreased, becouse the effort, wich the ranger needed to bring against an enemy was very low, becouse the pet dealt a lot of dmg/most dmg…, but the parrot is fine?

-ranger pets die rly fast, becouse they cant dodge, while the parrot has evade frames and the parrot seems to be as tanky as tanky ranger pets like drakes/bears, while dealing more dmg, than dps ranger pets like felines…seems legit

my suggestion to solve this piraterune problem would be to give ranger the parrot as pet by removing the other ranger pets

edit: and make every class a ranger…so you would even solve the sd thief and warrior healing signet and cele problem…..3 in 1

edit2: the last part was a bad joke

in my opinion ranger is to much pet reliant (not to mention, that ranger have skills with wich he can kill his pet…no other class in this game cripples itself with its classmechanic in the way the ranger does with himself)…, in pve it doesnt rly matter, if you are able to keep your pet alive and it is possible by swapping the pet, or getting it out of aoe with movement and f3 (but its sometimes rly annoying, if you compare the effort you have to bring with other classes efforts, becouse you have to look on two lifebars), but the pet will allways die against champions, if they use their aoe, onehit, cleave skills, or whatsoever (you could use a spider, its a range pet)

the problems start in pvp, if you want to play a ranger (power/condi), becouse it is very easy to kite the pet and the pet will not be able to land any hit, so if you even manage to keep it alive you will lose the pets dmg and deal less dmg, than other classes at the end (fortunately many of the players in pvp cant kite proper) and in wvw zergs the pet is nearly useless (unless you use a spider, its a range pet)

guess what, why so many players dont like rangers in pve grps, or wvw grps…, it is possible to play a ranger proper and your pet will prolly never die, if you manage it right, but at the end the pet is stil a disadvantage in my eyes, if i look on the possibilities the other classes have, becouse no other class is able lose an essential amount of their own dps…, just ranger, guild wars 2 official petclass

you cap one of the two enemy nodes, while holding your node

remove it…, custom arenas will be buyable with gold soon

i want a lion

isnt thief the only clas in gw2, wich isnt rly affected by chill and interrupt? (at least the weapon skills, ini regen)

thief is also the only clas with its own special mobility no other clas has (most ports in gw2 and ports through obstacles)…..i would love to have some of the mobility skills with my ranger, that thief has

thief has a very high combat attack speed (highest in gw2)

guess wich clas dominates as roamer in spvp and wvw, or would anyone take me as powerranger in their spvp team?

i want a lion

hello,
if you like that gamemode i would say to you to play lol, or dota

im playing gw2 pvp, becouse i like gw2 pvp,
and i dont like lol, or dota, or that gamemode ^^

yeah, why not…and i stil want a lion as pet !!

l2cleanse….theres no need to cleanse everything, just cleanse the right things at the right time

do you rly expect to cleanse everything, so condi dps classes are not able to bring you down?

not the longbow….., but powerranger at itself needs help (wvw/spvp view)

-decrease the amount of dps, that pets are able to deal and increase the amount of dps, that weapons are able to deal

-handle pets as buffers and ccers

i hope, that some more things will follow for the ranger from the cdi….changes need development time, i guess

and if you believe it, or not, but there will be some new builds with the new traits…duno now, if strong enough to be competetive

i would like to add this: chill now affects ini regen

by this change no thief ever will be able to spam, if chilled and non thieves would have a very strong counterplay against thieves

i would love to have the option to play unranked tourneys to test new builds, other classes than my main and play with my mates, even if we arent five

fun, joy and happiness?

my suggestions, becouse i think, that stealth is to strong as it is at the moment:

for stealthed mesmers: if the phantasms/clones land a hit on the enemy the player gets revealed (exception block/invulnerability) (same on thieves shortbow nr4)

for mesmers: use decoy as stealth, not as an extra invisibilty, to avoid stealthstacking while revealed

for all stealthed players: granting revealed after a stealth to avoid stealthstacking and granting the enemy a opportunity to see and damage the player (exception: while in stealth stealthduration can be stacked upon 3 times)

powerranger: 30/30/10/0/0 with gs and lb, and dd elementalist: 0/0/10/30/30 with tripple cantrips

its time for a lion

from spvp/wvw view

1. Elementalist
2. Ranger
3. Mesmer

welcome back

make a powerranger and come back again….but yes, nice vid

im writing about power/crit based ranger (i think, that condibunker (bm, spirits, trapper) are in a realy good place compared to powerranger) based on my experience in spvp/wvw, especially with greatsword and longbow

in my opinion greatsword and longbow are to slow compared to shortbow, sword, or other classes weapons….everytime im playing my ranger with greatsword and longbow i have the feeling, that im trailing behind my enemys, or beating them very slowly, but just in comparison to other classes like thief (burst), mesmer (burst), ele (burst), warrior (burst), engi (burst), mm necro and off guard

even if high burst with greatsword is possible i need to land the hits proper, otherwise the fight lasts very long, becouse besides the burst the attacks are slow and even if its possible to hit very hard with the longbow from far behind, the weapon becomes very hard to handle, when the enemy is in melee range and all classes have skills, with wich they are in less than 1 second in melee range….so it is nearly impossible to gain range advantage, except the enemys arent noticing you (same problem with shortbow)

on other side a high amount of dmg output lies on the pet, wich is easy to outplay through porting and kiting (and easy to kill with a lot of aoes, even if a ranger have 2 pets, without the pet the dmg is missing), this means that this dmg amount is absent, no other class has such a disadvantage….and some utility skills can kill the pet by using them….and again, no other class has such a disadvantage

the powerranger is in a state were bullscharge/frenzy warriors were before the balance patches, and i think, that powerranger needs similar changes to become serious competitive

my suggestions would be to reduce the casttime on greatsword and longbow,
make all skills useable while moving,
increase the weapons dmg by decreasing the pets dmg,
utility skills shoudnt kill pet

im playing powerranger, becouse i enjoy to play ranger, especially with a greatsword, if i want to play serious im playing another build (bm, spirits), or i am changing the class

my opinion is, that proper played every class/build becomes very good, it depends allways on the player and players gameplay…it is just, that some builds are (ridiculous) easier to play than others, becouse of several classmechanics and gamemechanics (traits, utility skills, runes)

on the other hand all classes/builds are very limited to the gamemode, becouse qonquest/defend prefers specific gamemode builds….my guess is, that with new gamemodes the variability of classes/builds will grow (as seen in wvw, where other classes/builds are used than in spvp)

generally i would say, that every ai build and builds with many passive effects are very easy to play (but they dont need to be op)

in my opinion rune of lyssa is game-winning, becouse 3 classes can abuse the 6. rune effect, becouse of the low icd….if the 6. rune effect would be different(maybe, that all conditions, that are applied on the player are transformed into boons by using the elite), or unabuseable by increasing the icd to 120 sec, than warriors woudnt be as strong as some players may see them, than thieves woudnt train mesmers/eles/other powerspeccs to death, my guess
(i think, that every class has enough condiclear, if specced and no class should rely on runes for condiclear….this becames an extra utility, wich can be abused by warriors, thieves, necros, becouse of the low icd, this shoudnt be the case, not to mention the boon grant, even if its just for 5 to 6 secs)

and at least i want to write, that it is often just a l2p issue, even if the effort to play some classes/builds is much higher compared to other classes/builds

easy to play: -warriors with healing signet and berzerker stance, especially hambows (very effective)-teamsupport, roamer, node defender, high aoe dps
-pu mesmers, especially condition specced (effective)-dps, rly annoying to play against, high condi pressure
-spirit ranger (very effective)-teamsupport, node defender, dps, farpoint assaulter
-beastmaster, especially condition specced (effective)-node defender, dps
-phantasm mesmer, especially power specced (effective)-node defender, farpoint assaulter, teamsupport, dps
-minionmaster necro, especially power/tanky specced (effective)-node defender, dps, farpoint assaulter
-decap/bunker engi (effective)- farpoint/enemypoint assaulter, node defender

not so easy to play: -bunker guard (very effective)-teamsupport, node defender
-off guard (effective)-high dps, roamer, farpoint assaulter
-fearmancer/condimancer (very effective)-high dps, high condi pressure
-sd/sp/dp/dd thieves (very effective)-high singletarget dps, roamer, farpoint assaulter
-shatter mesmer (effective)-high dps, teamsupport, roamer/farpoint assaulter with portal
-condi mesmer (not rly effective)-dps, teamsupport, node defender
-condi engi (effective)-farpoint assaulter, teamsupport, dps
-warriors without healing signet and berzerker stance, especially with greatsword (not rly effective)- dps, roamer
-traper ranger (not rly effective)-node defend, condi aoe dps

hard to play: -powerranger (effective)-dps, roamer, farpoint assaulter
-fresh air ele, especially sf/sd (effective)-high aoe and singletarget dps, roamer
-bunker dd/sd ele (effective)-teamsupport, node defender
-off dd ele (effective)-teamsupport, roamer, high aoe dps
-powerengi, especially with rifle (effective)-high dps, roamer, farpoint assaulter
-staffele (effective)-teamsupport, high aoe dps, node defender
-lockdown mesmer (effective)-teamsupport, dps, node defender

! the effectiveness is just my opinion based on team and solo tourneys i played, every class/build bad played becomes ineffective !

in my opinion main reason is hotjoin…everyone can join hotjoin anytime and also leave anytime and with the same attitude the ppl are playing tourneys….they just leave, when they want to leave….the second problem would be wrong gameplay wich is also learned in hotjoin…..zerging, ppl stacking on node, wrong roaming etc…..as long as hotjoin exists i predict that these problemes will also exist
