Lexan.5930 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 With the changes to abrasive grit and other changes to necro over the existance of GW2, it seems clear what I must do. Going to swap my main to a ranger. They do everything better than necro better healing better power damage better condi damage more mobility better buffing (thanks to abrasive grit change) but then again they have always been better with warhorn anyway and pet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teratus.2859 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 ^That's why every thing needs to be split per game mode. I like Ranger and Necro.. my two favorite and most used classes both in Gw1 and Gw2.

ZDragon.3046 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Ranger is too boring to play imo its not nothing super interesting like necro has all its uniqueness is based mostly around the long bow and even if you go power axes or something it still gets old rather fast.

Stop rewarding their behavior by patronizing their game. The only reason I'm still playing guildwars, is because I got a lot of friends there. I hate the scourge builds for wvw. Because it's all the time hybrid dmg (just remember cele-reaper in hot) And in pve necro isn't allowed to have good damage because then community that isn't main necro, cries like little baby's for necro nerf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluxxar.3692 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I was a Necro main for about 2 years before I deleted my necro. First class I ever fell in love with sad that Anet just destroyed that over the time for me. Nowadays I mainly play Guardian and I will lvl up a new Soulbeast and Holo soon. Maybe I will find a class that comes close to that feeling I had for the necro class back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of us if we wanted to main ranger already would be if not already. I don't need better always ever. Sometimes it isn't as important to be the best but to enjoy what you have.

Totally agree with this. I don't care for min/maxing either I care about fun and both Necro and Ranger are classes I find a lot of fun to play and have a lot of build potential when it comes to that.

The ranger is easy to keep safe in most world boss fights and tags mobs easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive always felt that necro has the most build potential in the game because its not currently locked into any traitlines. It use to be locked into soul reaping till the vital vital persistence change. If I recall ranger is still locked into beast mastery at all times. or something like that. could be wrong though.

Noha.3749 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Necro and rangers are nothing alike. If you wanna focus on single target dmg go ranger. If you wanna focus on AoE damage go with necro. Both are good in their respective areas as both power, condi and healers. So they are meta in their respective areas. WvW: Necro -> Zergs, Ranger - > Roam PvP: Necro -> 2vX, Ranger -> 1v1/1v2. Raids/fracs: Necro - > CondiUtility AoE pressure&support, Ranger - > single target damage and/or support through dmgbuffs/heals. Open World: both great. Whats the problem?

Axl.8924 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 If you play a necro move to ranger you better be worried because you never know when the nerf bat will hit and where, and rangers could be nerfed at any time into the ground.

I dunno about that.. I've got a few Rangers and some use Beast Mastery but some don't. My Main Ranger uses Marksman, Wilderness Survival and Nature Magic I think.

Necro used to have more build options than many professions because all were equally bad. With specializations, that flexibility is no longer a thing.

There are many reasons to just play what you feel like we don't need to debate peoples subjective desires and loves, just accept that other people don't want to change for the same reasons the OP posted. I have no such dreams or hopes nor do I care. It is just a game. Not one I control. I do however control my joy or sadness surrounding it or any other actions I take. I will be playing necro one way or the other good or bad. I do actually have a ranger to I just don't enjoy playing it that much :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With specializations, that flexibility is no longer a thing. That really depends on what you want the build to do.. more so if you're not interested in following Meta Trends and maxing DPS which I would say the vast majority of the player base isn't. Personally I don't care much for Scourge, I run Reaper even on my condi Necro as I prefer the shroud over the Shades. Likewise my main Ranger has never been elite spec.. been running the same base Ranger build for many years now (pre HoT) because it just works so well. You don't need to Spec if you don't want to.
