Just one of the ranger squad here to complain. Blah blah engineer is always better blah blah first holo now scrapper

@"Ragnar.4257" its just not. Guard is and has been the biggest counter to ranger. Anything with aoe condi damage will basically face roll ranger. Yeah a bad dh is pretty well countered by ranger becuz ranger with valk amulet can rip it fast, but that doesn’t happen often against a good one. And your actually not gonna see longbow or a ranged weapon much on this build. The average ranger build at best against this will just sit off node with longbow and basically just decap and then kite again. It will not be able to get node or ever win against a good dh becuz it is hard countered.

Is ranger trash? I think it would be S teir if not for burn dh- which in every single category is the hardest ranger counter in the game

Imo who cares about a miracle balance patch that only the elitist wanted. The problem with that patch is it went against the actual rules and regulations the company had set forth. Imagine thinking what these elitist think will help ppl, same thing happens in politics- they just waste all our money, commit crimes and go around making ppl unhappy.

There are sites for pvp like godsofpvp and meta battle but many things aren’t helpful for average players becuz they are based just what is common in tournaments which could even go as far to use a weaker build than what u could do in ranked. Try vallun’s YouTube videos and find some of his guides- he has everything from settings to basic strategies to even almost all different free to play builds in the game atm and lots of other builds from meta to good.

> @"Styros.8931" said: > can say 100 times more . If you playing d/p p/d stop crying, its broken af and you not supposed to cry about buff thiefs . If you playing non pistol weapon sets, ok understandable I play s/d only and I think only reason s/d isn’t a meta contender is cuz of rev. If a rev meets a thief anywhere on map it’s actual damage will force a thief off instantly, which is 1 reason ppl play dp since you can just stealth and not worry about revs or even other thief’s. If rev is nerfed s/d will be fine against them and it’ll win node of dp and pd anyways so not a bad pick in this meta...

I just think rev is busted. I dislike the place thief is in, in fact it’s been pepega since for a very long time just swapping between w.e is more cancer at the time. However we do seem to be touching on actual busted issues like short bow mobility which is insane compared to previous nerfs, it just took really killing the classes build diversity. BUT, just bring rev down and you’ll see things like s/d thief being a really balanced roamer, then again that same dp build suffering atm might be op without rev so idk?

I think I’ve seen scourges running this trait in 75% of my few matches this week. I think it’s the torch trait but w.e it is it’s insanely annoying

I like this idea, mostly because I really want more diversity though as we have seen recently even a heavily nerfed amulet like cele can be wild strong

@"CutesySylveon.8290" @"Zephoid.4263" both of you are wildly wrong shield is one of most heavily abused spirit weapons rn. It has more dps and weakness uptime than necro, as @"felix.2386" its good against projectile heavy comps and most popular streamers rn who play dh like naru say that if there’s any projectile ppl on the other team always go shield and that it’s insanely busted rn. Check yourselves

Weapons are decent, nerf sword 100% doesn’t have to be a lot 25% nerf to damage condi + power and shield w.e nerf leave rest of them the same but wouldn’t mind hammer hitting more often > > Please, find me a remotely meta build that uses shield. > There is no build that uses bow. Healbrand was nerfed out of existence. > Spirit Hammer has been bad for literally forever. And it actually got nerfs at one point, despite being straight unused. Just to make sure it never was. > Sword has been the only viable one. > > Guard is only viable atm because of the CC nerf. Lets bring CC damage back and watch how guard goes back to straight useless. Having little to no stab, no prot, few stun breaks, and little condi cleanse makes a pretty awful build. Burn guard was almost always the bunker breaker and almost every class atm is a bunker due to the lack of damage across the board. Fixing the zero damage CC problem solves a lot of the most UP classes too, as any sort of dps warrior was hit way to hard by that silly change. Are u insane - metabattle.com literally the guard meta be it cheese or not has shield as an option and it’s more often abused than almost all the variants? Some ppl use the bow on supports- I see some ppl use bow on their variants of meta like blackjack a very good guard which is only reason I really mention it. 2/4 spirit weapons are meta 3/4 good 1/4 just don’t work much cuz it’s animation is bad, but this is gw2 and that’s good for most things especially guard. My statement stands...

You're not allowed to post videos of people speed hacking, so I definitely wouldn't do that. This is an out rage. Who let necro reached this point of busted ness?

I’d bet I’m higher mmr, but who cares it’s a universe problem- supports are insanely tanky atm and pretty much anyone can understand that

The tramfight s part got me

> @"ollbirtan.2915" said: > A 'support' sitting alone on a node is a waste of slot. A smart 'support' will be in group fights where it can be easily focused. > Also, a smart dps player will not be engaging in a 1v1 with a support. L2p issue here. I call bs. Support holding a node by itself is insanely common and it can often even 1v2 forever by its self bringing huge value.
