I've been hit plenty hard by hammer bolts and fireballs.. Pretty much any button a warrior manages to push does massive damage.. And the ranger can't do TWO of those autos, so it's really only _sorta_ an auto.

Aridon.8362 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Lol nope the devs wont listen. I pointed this out last year and nobody listened back then. Now people are saying stuff about it, and guess what, Anet don't care. In fact when I pointed this out to people they called me a nub and said I need to get good. People don't care. Nobody cares. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/51744/ranger-is-way-too-strong-1v1-in-wvw#latest There is my proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celsith.2753 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 The buffs soulbeast gets on himself from utilitizing the beastmaster traits is a huge issue imo, especially Sic Em! While it's amusing to pewpew someone to death from 2100 range away I dont feel like the max range class in the game should have so much burst available. I'd personally like to see longbow reworked to be more aoe less single target damage, and done in some way that actually makes ranger wanted in a zerg. At least soulbeast can dismount all the kittens wanting to pve unless theyre in a blob of 50 chasing 1 person, so theres that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe just move rapid fire to shortbow, turning it into a condi skill to fit the weapon, and then add an "aimed shot" to longbow (similar to dragonhunter's true shot) in its place. Because I mean, longbows are the marksmanship weapon and are supposed to be slow and heavy while shortbow is more of a nimble weapon, way better suited to firing a large amount of shots in quick succession. But I dunno, we're talking about anet balance team here. The same guys who instead of introducing well-thought tradeoffs to elite specs just do lazy numeric changes and call it part of the "theme" of the spec :/.

With the power and modifiers the soulbeast can reach, such a skill would unquestionably hit for maybe 40-50K at 1800 range. Not sure if its better.

Stats always slightly differ in the editor than in game, but in game you should get the same stats as me in the screenshot. The screenshot of your soulbeast's stats was taken with your character receiving the stat bonuses from both a Guild Aura and Presence of the Keep. You've made that pretty obvious now that you've provided a build link as the build is short exactly 230 (200 from Guild Aura + Presence of the Keep/30 from ruins bloodlust) toughness, vitality, and precision when compared to the screenshot.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Honestly it's a bit silly. Having 3/4 or more of ur health deleted by one skill due to OP modifiers as well as often being unblockable needs to be looked at and fast.

Ok there was no soulbeast back then but the pew pew was there. Perhaps it is time to give them some power back, and no more stealth, but a bit more oomph.

I am in no way implying that rangers are a good class for zergs as I said previously. What I am saying is that it funny that a class that isn't great at zerging seems to be the class I see most of by far and I'm implying that is due to how brain dead easy op it is to get alot of downsjust running around pew pewing people withe thesis em build.
