Rap Tiger.1257 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Druid when he was stronger than Soulbeast did not make him use only a pet, even more Soulbeast that can be defeated easy is that he should not use only a pet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fun part from the ranger is the pet Anet should consider put some ideas in there to improve it so it is rewarding to play in competitive modes as pets behave right now as trash mobs (even with the lack of connecting hits) and as such they don't provide any actual gameplay. > > Pve is solved already with the pets virtual inmmunity. People like the OP are literally why we will never get pets that actually function. The _**second**_ they become actually competent, people always start screeching with rage at the top of their lungs until Anet ruins them. Look at what they've done to the smokescale and bristleback, or how they nerfed the gazelle's charge so hard it literally doesn't work properly anymore and sends it flying off into the distance.

Xenash.1245 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I've played ranger since the game first came out as well and very much know the shortcomings of a rangers pet. Personally all I want is a situation where everyone seems content with whatever nerfs/buffs that might come so that by some chance arenanet will finally consider buffing at least some of the rangers old pets. I know everyone else already knows it but I'd like for this class to actually be a ranger and not just a smokescale tamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not chances are you literally have a target the whole game lol ofc, LB/Sword and warhorn , combos with smoke scale almost all time, but if you fail a single time, you are dead, and to combo with smoke scale with all ccs and condition spam is really difficult sometimes, is a shame that althought i know that ranger class is underpowered compared to almost every other class , it is the class i like the most. BTW they should improve LB#3 , it is like a lottery to land it, sometimes it enter in CD but the ranger dontt shot the arrow, if you have someone targeted and use it but when using the skill you are on the move or not in a 180% in front of your enemy it fails and enter in cd......

Eleazar.9478 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 No that should be part of a new elite spec. Doing that to soulbeast would kill the specs complexity. Personally I wish for a bunny thumper that gains access to phsycial or meditation skills that are focused on aoe damage/cc You only have one swoul AF pet call it elder/dire/hearty (depending on what you trait for hearty is tanky elder balanced and dire dps) Your pet swap now heals the pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to know that LB3 issue happens to others. For a second I thought it was me. It’s so annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 while we're at the topic of limiting soulbeast to only one pet, lets reduce necros minion to one... then mesmer clone to one... coz, in pvp arena, i can see mesmers and necros running around with an army and it just gives me just only one(very little time frame) second to figure out the player and use my longbow and pursue them and separate them from among the crowd using lb4, then resume the fight... coz other professions can deal damage easily with swinging swords in the crowd but rangers can't and we need to pinpoint our targets and run after them... and thief stealth makes it hard for us to pint them... even if we did, they vanish the next moment and we need to target them once again, by that time, they come up behind you or infiltrate and stun and deal too much damage and down you completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
