if this would have been pve map it would have had emergency restart already for a fix. but its just WvW deal with it ;).

most people dontcare to cap stuff anyway especially not the toons that are capable of doing it. so ye fix nice leave it as its nice also ;D

well that would be fucking amazing, that coming from a thief yes im aware we lose alot but imagine..

 

s/d > port > signet port > short bow port

 

dayum just went from 1 side to another side of map with 2 skills that require nothing to be in range :D could add another port but lets use that as deffensive one ;).

> I have been roaming as a soulbeast for a month now, just to see why people were complaining about it so much. Jeebus, it's op, insane ranged damage, stealth field and stealth, really good condi cleanse and heal and able to traverse very long distances with gs and bird pet. I am not requesting a nerf for druid or core however no doubt if soulbeast was nerfed core would probably be affected as well. I think when it comes to utility skill the main problem is sic em, one wolf pack and entangle. The lb skill 2 is just stupidly op and smokescale smoke field and the soulbeast skill 2 is just stupid, it's like having a pocket rev/ thief. In terms of trait I found opressive superiority to be a tad op for something that weilds a long ranged high dps long bow. Anyway, yes most of the rangers in wvw are noobs, but ranger really needs a good looking at.

> I know I will get hate and get good comments, I personally don't care. I have taken the time to actually play soulbeast for a whole month and I am just giving my "findings".

 

the thing is, i cant disagree with u cus your right. but when i play different class and faced a soulbeast i didnt really have big problems dealing with em.

yes i can understand picking off people at right spot and using terain in ur advantage etc will make ranger OP as fuck.

but when facing one with a brain he will make ur life alot harder.

 

tbh i think SLB isnt as bad as u mention here if u face people who know how to play only thing that is insane OP is one wolf pack. this whole skill need be changed or nerfed hard.

ooh guys the drizzle wood pve players are coming free loot everywhere :D

 

dunno what server ur on but pretty much every server on EU has fights going on during prime times, NA i dont know but from what i seen from streams its not half as active as EU

best idea would be turning tyria and rest of map into WvW ;D so we can remove alphine BL's and have shit load of new players to pew pew

condi's are useless in zergs.

playing DH in blob with bow is useless also.

i mean i bought expansion not long ago on other account, if i wanted to transfer obviously i had to buy gems in order to do so.

 

what is the difference exactly?

so where is the difference beside that i (and others) bought the game not like we arent stuck on server :P

> Ranger isn't easy to learn for a player, that does not know what its skills and traits do. Everyone else just notices, that ranger can have an answer to everything, that can go wrong in one build. The rest is basic game knowledge and muscle memory.

 

ranger that is pure pew pew barely has cleanses

ranger that has ton of cleanses doesnt have huge dmg

ranger really doesnt have answer to everything but in WvW where majority of people think they can run in 1 straight line to their enemy, yes then ranger has answer to most people..

 

tbh when u run into any given class it doesnt mean u have to fight on spot where u ran into each other. u could simply kite him to spot that favors u if he doesnt like it he will leave if not u can turn the fight into ur favor.

i mean i have played s/d thief vs core necro in open i cant really do much i took the guy to hilek camp in ebg and just constantly ported tru the walls if he wanted to come to me he would have had to run all the way around giving me load of time to move away anyway and if i want to go to him all i had to do was shadow step on his ass and port back when i need to.

same can be done with ranger use trees i dunno force him to leave you or come closer.

 

ofcourse certain classes will not have what it takes to kill ranger.

but if im on my thief and i force a ranger to come close to me his chance to win that fight is quite low and chance that he can run off ditching the fight is even lower

i think same goes for mesmer with all projectile hate that class has and ones ur close to mesmer i doubt the ranger can just run off

hmm thief vs ranger xD

 

u know there is more then just d/p thief right? it doesnt really matter to in open field ranger doesnt stand much of a chance vs thief but okay if u think so ;)

ranger isnt a easy class to learn unless u mean huehue i use sic em, quickening zephyr, one wolf pack pew pew pew ye works great from tower wall outside tower

 

i mean i know ranger sounds easy and it might be if ur such a fool to die to one constantly but when u face somewhat better player ull see ranger isnt all about pew pew longbow fun.

> I mean, a glass thief can usually escape from large groups of 5 or more pretty easy. Throw on some toughness and vitality armor and yeah, I've seen single daredevils kite an entire zerg before. If a class builds itself to survive, they can survive quiet a lot. It sounds like the person you're referring too was running a build like this. Their whole point is to make sure the waypoint is contested for their server. Most classes can do it, honestly, even without the mobility and stealth.

 

if u try chase a DrD who didnt attack any1 yet (meaning with no CDs yet) then ur whole blob is mentally not gucci.

the DrD on other hand is kiting u all untill most turn around and will wreck every single person who falls behind cus no1 is build to deal with him.

 

see he cant deal with blob

blob players cant deal with roamers

its simply a build issue..

 

so u blame x class / build for being around alot in roaming scene while x class / build has no place in a blob

u see all roaming people who have no place in blob fights could say

well guardians and necro's have been in blob fights since day one wouldnt it be time to nerf them?

i mean why not? cus they are obviously better then other classes at it so they should be nerfed so maybe a heal druid could take over Guardians role and deadeye/daredevil could do the boons/aoe dmg from necro

sounds like a solid plan no?

no? exactly why crying about thief/ranger in roaming scene is not a solid plan either.

> For years i never understood why people always said this about Thief specifically, like it's some sort of "master" class. Thief is one of the most beginner friendly classes in the entire game, especielly if you pick Daredevil. It has no confusing mechanics or traits like say, Herald, no requirement to swap kits and attunements back and forth to perform well like Engi or Ele, you don't really need to swap weapons even or manage cooldowns at all even, thanks to how initiative works and most of your abilities are tab target. I always recommend new gw2 players to pick Thief since it's a selfish (in a good way) class with easy to understand and execute mechanics.

>

> But yeah, regarding experienced players, i get what you're saying but that goes for any class and any build really. Thief main btw.

 

and these are the thiefs that triple dodge port away and think they have won the fight by leaving then when u wreck them they get very salty cus people like u said just dodge and port away when shit hits the fan :D.

 

tbh i have pretty much all classes and they are all equally easy to play what u need is find a class u enjoy playing then just play it and u will get good u cant play a class cus its "easy" while u dont enjoy it..

like guardian is quite good now but i freaking hate guardian dragonhunter firebrand i just cant stand playing these classes while its piss easy to dump ur symbols on node and just bunker it up but it gives no joy so i go do other shit that i shouldnt be doing then i get punished and i die like a tool. meaning the class is bad? yes in my hand but not in one hand who enjoys playing it. same with thief a guy who just doesnt enjoy class will never shine at it.

 

 

as for guy in with screenshots i doubt u can hit for 15k the guy hits u for 1k rapid fire while rapid fire will down u as thief on full zerk and even then i dont do these crits and yes i do play with CS also

 

seeing that the guy hits like a wet noodle and u hit like a truck he either had all his armor destructed or old screenshot or up scaled toon.

this "bad" rune is better then 3 of your "good" runes together nr 4 and 5 in good runes are bad and nr 2 or 3 also

not into pve but DA will out dps trickery incase of no skill spam (just 11111)

but i have no idea if skill spam in longer fights can keep up with dps from DA..

 

i mean DA gives +2% dmg on every condi dont know how much condi's go on a boss in a fight but 8 condi's give already dps advantage on simple 111 to DA and after 50% hp u gain ton of dps advantage..

for open world DA isnt gonna out dps trickery.

for raids ( as i never really done em ) in theory on long lasting fights and enough unique condi's i guess DA should out dps trickery.

8 clock server time = prime time, problem solved?

thief is easy, dont stay near your allies (cus enemies like to throw shit at where biggest hub of people are)

get behind or on side of enemy blob (if u like ganking around blob) pick on strugglers who are falling away from group.

dont stomp anything near a group

 

for roaming ur more or less the one who decide when to fight where to fight how to fight.

the thing is u dont need start with full zerk ( i didnt read all ur gear) i know ur dmg goes down but u do get feel of the class and u can slowly pack more zerk or even marauder gear in there when u feel more comfy.

 

anyway

99% of ur deads is because of greed. thief is more of a patience game then anything else. i know sometimes u see some1 with low hp and ur like 1 hit and hes dead.

tru but can u stomp him? or is he near bunch of allies? or w/e sometimes its better to just stealth and lurk around him waiting for next move even if that means he will heal him self up. (ye i know this is hard it happends to all thiefs, thiefs who say they dont make this mistakes are filthy liars ;) )

 

 

anyway if u want to play solo i would just stick with thief/ranger <- ez classes

if u want to play blob fights and be a part of the group

 

play scourge or revenant none of these 2 are really hard..

conquest and wvw are 2 different things u see i like "smart" pvp but i dont like conquest because i dont give a rats ass about capping nodes.

plus conquest is predictable WvW isnt totally my thing also it would be even cooler if whole tyria would turn into a massive gank festival then i get a hard e-penis

i like the fact that people gank me, cus i cant predict it i have to act at that moment i like the surprise effect i find it even more funny if i was grinding mobs for something and people came to gank me.

 

in conquest u can read alot from the map it self, plus most of the time u know exactly which skills enemy has used and what he has left untill ucan blow off ur burst.

WvW is whole different thing when bunch of gankers/roamers bang into each other.

 

wvw needs nothing tbh maybe some rewinds i dont like the 1 up 1 down system

i dont like the gliding

i dont like the warclaw

i dont like red border <-- like the new OS afk it up there.

 

but things i dont like is something some1 else does enjoy we just have to suck it up and either quit or go with the flow no game will be perfect.

hmm not sure about this..

played thief for long time and ranger aswell (pretty much only 2 i play)

ranger on more deffensive stats has far better burst then a thief.

i mean people will say im crying but thief burst is so sad right now..

 

mean while on my ranger who is using durability runes and some armor (dunno which but no zerk stats at all) is doing far better dmg wise.

tbh i dont really mind the nerfs ill play thief till i quit but thief isnt as it used to be.

 

they nerfed staff thief well nerfed not rly increased the ini use on staff 5 which was not really needed so that zerg build ur on about is not that good anymore u can do 2 vaults and ur out of ini. so thief is in same state as ranger useless and probably next nerf is inc again.

cus thief is not useless in sPvP and since wvw takes alot of shit from sPvP they probably get nerfed again for nothing rly.

ranger doesnt have more mobility, it depends where u are at. yes in 1 straight line forward he will most likely be faster then u but he cant dps in that time while u shouldnt have a hard time catching up.

 

ranger has more stealth? how? a blast and longbow 3? and maybe if u play druid? or use trapper runes? basically not tru.

 

ranger has more healing meh not sure i doubt that.

 

ranger has more burst, ye kind of but easier to dodge. as for dmg over time as in condi? think thief is better at it ;).

 

in general a good deadeye will eat a ranger. so rifle > longbow?

 

yes ranger has invul 3s? and another 3 if u take tank pet and if ur a moron u have trait also. <- this is uncommon very uncommon. as for downskill what is the amazing one?

the pet res? ur a thief interupt it and the skill turns out to be useless or u mean the other downskill that does 1 lighting strike kind of thing that interupts?

ur down skill as thief > u port when they stomp > u stealth when they wanna stomp again > u might get res in meanwhile. think in case of ranger vs thief i rather have thief down state skills.

 

thief has stability also not as much as ranger but dont need it.

 

think balance between thief ranger is fine. im playing thief mainly and from time to time ranger the balance problem between these 2 classes isnt the above atleast

also im fairly sure ur mixing up a shit ton of different ranger builds vs your one thief build.

well in that case i can make list for every class :D
