Unless you play warrior or ranger, naturally.

There are lots of friendly classes for new players for different reasons we can think of; I don't see any reason to think that ranger is somehow exceptionally aligned so strongly to new players that there is a disproportion of people playing them leading to bad data.

Do you do a celebratory desk dance when you get the last word?

Once upon a time I might've pointed to the overabundance of bearbows in pve.

But now it's been six years since I did much open world, so that's out. <,<

Ranger may well be a special case. It's extra friendly to new players with it's pet doing the tanking by default. And, it's seen consistent dislike by the veteran community.. If people want to upgrade to group play they have to drop ranger. So, who's left as ranger mains? Solos and beginners.

And we all know ranger is consistently played quite poorly, by the majority of it's users. So every time they look at the stats, they see ranger underperforming and so bad in WvW it's booted from squads. Yet also needs nerfs? xD

If you don't have the people to open a door, you don't have the people to take it.

You'll find WoW's combat to be a regression after gw2. No Dodge, much less value for teamwork other than healer+dps and as pure open world, better take a month off work to level cuz the twinks they are a'comin fast.

Personally I'd suggest minstrel or nomads, you were eating waaaay more damage than a driver can afford to.

Wait, you gave up on the all-celestial comp?

Hold onto your transfer bucks until you have a firmer grasp of how things work around here. Who's where and doing what changes every few months and the next cycle starts in two weeks.

Nah no problem, enjoy it while you can!

But I speak from first hand experience, your joints remember the impacts.

Stick green with it, weaken the strongest server in the match.

We're not allowed to talk about anything else.

and i get so lonely -_-

Get back to us when you're in your 40's and every injury comes back to visit permanently like a broke relative.

Less fluff, more content of substance

They don't pay this one much mind either.

Worth every penny

Also means the big pewpew likely isn't going much of anywhere until whoever is making the dismount skill gets around to it.

Or else warclaw is essentially a spawn-at-will wherever on the map the rider chooses.

> Many specs are way better than soulbeast for 1v1, but it sounds like this is not about balance in fights but the fact that soulbeast may have a chance of dismounting someone, unlike those even more broken builds, so poeple come complain about soulbeast and not those others as they just walk past those.

You hit the nail on the head, but what did you expect?

Most of the people who wanted to do anything other than find a big blob to hide in are long gone.

You're full of it.

Nobody runs full graphics in WvW. I have a better machine than yours and anything above low character count makes it catatonic.

Right after HoT is stable
