There is no reason a ranger should be more proficient than any other ranged profession. The range in ranger does not stand for ranged engagements.

Zexanima.7851 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Ranger ranged damage isn't that bad if you're not built like glass and have a few CD up. If they catch you off guard the first time and you survive you should know going forward to play "run around the tree/wall/post/ect..". I would be more worried about rifle warrior and kill shot if we're talking ranged power damage. Not that it's "meta" so to say, just supremely annoying.

Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 So I built this is WvW (I rarely use pure zerk as I usually run Marauder or Marauder/Valk) and WOW.

Tycura.1982 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 LB 4, 2 (Dodge here), LB 3. -They merge smokescale- Merge F2, F1(Dodge it) F3. Gs2 (dodge and turn toward the ranger) Gs5. Now it's your turn. Proceed to burst. Alternatively if you're feeling spicy and they don't have stab you can stun them at the end of merge F2. That's how it works on warrior anyway. Pew pew Ranger is like a less annoying DE and someone should always focus them in a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reikken.4961 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 The only things I hate about ranger's damage are * "Point Blank" Shot has 1500 range * The whole burst can be unblockable and ignore anti projectile. At least Clarion Bond was nerfed, cuz that was hilariously dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the classes need massive reworks which wont happen anytime soon so enjoy lol.

rng.1024 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I don't get why they don't give Rapid Fire the Meteor Shower treatment: - Damage is reduced by 10% each time a foe is struck by this ability to a minimum of 20%. It would still stack vulnerability, still hit like a truck at the start, however it wouldn't chug through your health after like it currently does. Given it's low cooldown (10 secs) this would be more than fair of a nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
