Upcoming Balance Patch Ranger Changes What and Why

[@maggyinahat]

Love your build videos! Any chance of an in depth guide to Untamed in WvW roaming? I prefer power but any build guides for it would be great.

[@MissDee13]

very well thought out :)

They should put pierce to both SB and LB by default so they can improve trait to better way. Light on your feet force Ranger to using dodge or quick shot for increase maximize damage with disposition urself seem unecessary. They change SB rev why can't they do the same to Ranger.

I couldn't agree more this will be the change we wait for years until they make it 😔

I wonder when they will remove all of the insane block/invulnerability/immunities/constant stability from pvp, or atleast stop making the classes that do that even stronger while also making non PvP related changes to the classes that DONT. Their priorities are completely fucked, it seems the devs are catering to the classes they themselves play. Been an ongoing problem for atleast 10 years now. An Example: (Edit: This does not include the 3sec stability from Relic of the Centaur because its not class specific, anyone can take that) SB/Untamed are very strong, so is Druid. Druid however, lacks reliable stability and can be CC locked/power burst killed in about 10seconds by any good player or less, even if you have 3 breakers. Done it myself thousands of times(it honestly takes less than 5). To exapand on this example, stability for Druid is: 0 from any utility, 0 from your spec trees (except like 2 charges with like a 3sec duration on Celestial Stance 5 from taking Druid tree). 0 on any weapon skills except Mace 4 (which they also just changed the skill reset from 100% to 20%, so ROUGHLY its about 80% LESS EFFECTIVE and only lasted like 1-2sec iir) AND they also removed the stability from pet swap perk in "Wilderness Survival". So Druid, not counting buffs from other players, can only get stability through Celestial 5 and Mace 4 for a whopping max 4sec uptime and EXTREMELY SPECIFIC BUILD. Doing this hinders you from having enough cleanse, or anti-power, takes away from your heals, and you still can be CC locked on repeat with how LITTLE the uptime you have and long skill cd. How Druid is the oldest of Ranger elite specs and this has been a problem since day1 is beyond me. Also them taking stability away from Wilderness Survival screams that it isnt an issue they are aware of (see the sentence above this to understand how SAD that is), or they do not give a fuck about Druid. I always cringe when i see a Druid because they are A JOKE to deal with. (Yes Druid gets stability during Glyph of the Stars, but that is how Druid auto rez’s and its not a guaranteed Rez, and the no dmg during downs doesn’t always work. So this is not included, neither is Strength of the Pack because 6sec of stability on a 60sec cd elite with no buffs to allies on a support spec is extremely dogshit.) AND THE WORST PART: Druid aoe cc breaker glyph gives stability in Pve 😂😂

[@vyzion980]

Sure you can use great sword block maybe even with skirmishing 66% skill cd on weapon swap for more use of it, but still if you get cc locked before that you’re fucked😂

[@PaperRoll]

Druid is the easiest ranger elite to burst down but the hardest to kill if you can't I agree on the notion of your points and I hate the tight access to stability on it in fact glyph of the stars is not even a good choice when you consider druid so yeah rough life 😂😭

[@vyzion980]

@@PaperRoll eh things with limited cc immunity and block are the easiest to kill imo but yea

[@olle3308]

Why? Because they are clueless, that's why..
