Guild Wars 2

ive given up hope lol, been checking patch notes each month but not playing, saw they nerfed my ranger as well… well off to marvel heroes lol

Love my BM Ranger, any changes will probably drive me back to my thief and youll just have one more annoying person spamming HS lol
Honestly i think that we are the best class right now and i would love if they kept us the way we are… focus on warriors please, they need some lovin’ and not the butt kind they’ve been getting

Stolen from Ranger forum -

So, the weekly Guild Wars 2 Guru’s Master of the Mists tPvP Tournament is going on right now and there are several devs in the livestream chat, and they have given us a bit of a spoiler regarding the upcoming balance patch – I’ve copied and pasted the related quotes here:

Mod jon_peters: the one after that will be fairly sizable balance wise

Mod khalija_: If you have feedback or suggestions for future tournaments, you can email us at tournament@guildwarsguru.net

Mod jon_peters: This is a big game

Mod jon_peters: as you can see

Mod jon_peters: lots of things interact

Mod jon_peters: so 1

Mod jon_peters: 1) we dont rush because testing is hard

Mod jon_peters: 2) we dont rush because balance should be slow moving

Mod jon_peters: or you just keep overshooting your target

Mod khalija_: Sent you a msg Karl!

Mod khalija_: Pm’d you on Twitch

Mod jon_peters: I will say the late june patch is a fairly sizable balance patch

Mod jon_peters: as Karl can attest to

Mod jon_peters: the fx will be replaced with lower detail versions first

Mod jon_peters: but I will say lot of trait diversity incoming for late June

Mod jon_peters: trying to improve many bad traits

Mod jon_peters: to bring up new builds

Mod jon_peters: hmm example….

Mod jon_peters: should I give an example…

Mod jon_peters: Karl do you have a good example of a trait change?

Mod jon_peters: some merging going on

Mod chaplan_: back

Mod jon_peters: yeah

Mod jon_peters: chap

Mod jon_peters: Chap you mind if Karl and I spoiler some of the trait changes incoming?

Mod chaplan_: I thought about doing in SOTG…but played it safe.

Mod chaplan_: I did mention Necro burning.

Mod jon_peters: We can give away like 1 or 2 I think

Mod jon_peters: ok

Mod jon_peters: I think Ele air is a good spoiler…

Mod jon_peters: I will say this

Mod jon_peters: every single trait line is seeing at least 1 change

Mod jon_peters: some I think are getting as many as five changes

Mod khalija_: official site says we’ll get some new info on June 4th

Mod chaplan_: Overall idea: look at bad/unused traits and improve them, or just rework them.

I did not go out of my way to find this, all credit goes to Ranger forum, any updates would be there.

TL;DR – Changes incoming towards the end of June, hopefully big ones for warr

Zoom hacks ruined wvw last night… AC hit me from inside SM… arrows coming through the ceiling

plays a sad harmonica tune
You guys remember Omnomberry Pie? Mmm Mmm my grand nanny used to bake me up some 60% chance to heal goodness like a spirit i tells ya!
harmonica continues to annoy
Ya know what i reckon? Hows abouts we get us one of dem good ol’ fashioned “Fix everything wrong with the class” patches like in the old days? I betcha we’ll forget all about losing our frenzy if we had some sustainability… or more than 2 good builds

If ranger pets could dodge roll… know what, not gonna start that convo again

Grab all the zerker gear you can
Personally i believe the only way those who play this class will get any better is if they learn to dodge and kite, if you dont know how to go head on into the fray then having all that extra toughness is just delaying the inevitable
Added the fact that everyone who fights a warrior knows they suck at curing conditions, and those cut right through your armor like Paula Deen’s finger through a tub of country crock, so they will launch every single one of them straight into your forehead

God forbid they patch us again, i just stopped laughing about banners and kick.
They will slowly watch everyone stop playing their warriors once they run out of PvE things to do. For crying out loud ANet PANDER TO US! You want a paycheck? Sell a warrior patch on the Gem store then retire with all your riches.

why add more gear and not fix obvious class flaws?
why cant i hold all of these limes?

surprised ANet adds useless things to their game?
tell me more about that warrior you rolled

Theres a very nice build on Youtube from Tap Dat Mouse called the “paladin build”. I tweaked it a little (not known for posting my builds) and made it a very nice “let them kill themself” setup. There was also lots of room for personal preference changes so i would definitely look at it.

just transferred to ET yesterday, loving the breathing room as opposed to JQ. Unfortunately that comes with low wvw population and since SF outnumbers us at any given moment I think this is going to blow up in my face lol.

Problem in NA is that tons of people will want to xfer to the top ranked T8 server (if they decide to transfer at all) and the lower ranks will suffer greatly. Unless they manage to fill both servers to the same population I doubt this will work. They need to keep free transfers open to Med pop servers as a rule if this is going to balance anything in the future.

how about using stacks of quickness with a limit of 2, would add another mechanic to the game and change play style

Dev 1: Man that patch we put out sure makes necros hard to kill
Dev 2: Hmm… im still gonna nerf warriors
Dev 1: How about those passive buffs we gave bunkers by reducing quickness?
Dev 2: Still gonna nerf warrors… a warrior kicked my mom once

lol still more of a ranger than an actual ranger

… where were you when they discussed this nerf to validate a buff on many other things lol. Christ if they buffed AUTO-ATTACK id be happy… I think im going to take a much needed break and stop playing this game til they fix this class lol.

he also stopped making vids I believe, check youtube

Dev 1: Ele’s are OP
Dev 2: Lets nerf warriors!

lol go ahead and re-roll warrior, might want to check our forums first

its not about “boon hate” per se, its about warriors not having a way to bring damage to pvp while having at least 1 worthwhile utility… but yeah sure ill stand there waving around my banner like im at the Puerto rican day parade

Shoulda got it while the getting was good lol, its out there just google it, found it like 10 seconds ago on another site

You, my friend, get a +1 lol
Where I work, if someone doesn’t fix something and people complain they get fired

^^ New “warrior hate” ability will be deployed next patch don’t worry

kick/rampage/banner build… plant 3 banners and do a Russian dance spamming kick

they might be trying to eliminate the class entirely in pvp… I did however enjoy swinging my banner around in sarcastic pride just now

Is it just me or has anyone noticed a severe lack of consistency with what the Dev’s say lol. Where and what is Boon Hate and why is there no info in the patch notes on it? Was it not implemented? Did you realize it would make warriors usable in pvp and decided not to do it out of spite?

No not culling! that’s a warriors only viable build! >.<
