    One step closer to deleting Mesmer.

     

    We are getting there .

Reflects and the overall increase in support potency give core Ranger a harder time at doing it's job in a group than it does as Soulbeast, but it can still be done assuming the player knows what they're doing. The real issue here is that 99% of Rangers in zergs don't know how to be useful even though they can actually be a pretty decent asset if they work alongside the zerg rather than in it. Much like Thieves, they can "cut away the fat" so to speak, by eliminating players on the outer rim and ones that fall behind or try to regroup.

It isn't heavily over performing or under performing and is perfectly viable, even having matches that favor it. The "boonbeast" variant of Soulbeast can actually be used on core as well, and if you can believe it, it's even tankier. It's damage isn't quite as good, but it's still more than enough to kill people.

But specifically because there are stronger builds for Ranger than Engi, and even if it offers less in a zerg than Engi, I think it's competitive potential is enough to save it from being the most useless.

    Thats actually the problem.

     

    Ranger is waaaaaaay to op in roaming but waaaaaaay to useless in zerging.

    If you play zerg vs zerg its pretty ok.

     

    The only annoying part of WvW are ranger with 1 billion range and mesmer 100 - 0 you in 0,1 seconds from stealth

     

    Ohh and dont look for any kind of rewards. That will only end in suffering.

    Its not a trade off. Its simply a buff to stealth.

     

    Something nobody needed.

    Imagine having to use Utility Goggles. "puke"

  6. It didnt change much.

     

    Scrapper and Ele got basicly free 250 stats with the new ooc weaponswap.

     

    No more Detection Pulse on Scrapper is realy realy bad.

    Revs have to actually use their Reveal Oo. Poor souls often dont even know they have that.

     

    And like always when something gets nerfed quite hard (scourge) people jump ship and try to find the next most broken thing.

     

     

  7. Of all the remaining elder dragons, Primordus and Bubbles have one thing over Jormag.

     

    The location.

     

    Both are in near impossible to access areas.

     

    Below the ocean and in the Magma of the Planet.

     

    The Ice Magic of Jormag counters the Fire Magic of Primordus and having Ice Magic against a Water Dragon seems like a good idea.

     

    ( It would also make it easier for Anet to create map in the ocean for the potential bubbles fight)

     

    If i would be in the commanders shoes, i would seroiusly think about an alliance.

     

    Thoughts?
