So this is the post that started it all? They talked about fixing the re-link issue 3+ years ago? Alliances sounds like something the game really needs at this point! #Allianceswhen

or just, idk, give us wvw alliances and then re-links stop mattering

If you gonna do this, at least open up more servers. It really is terrible that we get moved around like this but like have no options to move. I'm on NA IoJ, Playing with SoS has been awesome and now you are unlinking us? I'm an oceanic player stuck outside of SoS so now what, i'm just given a middle finger? Then let me transfer to SoS. Seriously. The one link I was hoping would stay together...

Really though, the best buff the ranger could get, would be some of the mass spam range reflects to be toned down. Quite the power creep on that side of things where people are just immune to range attacks, or everything bounces back.

Been a Ranger in WvW for awhile now - from what I can tell it will depend on the group but i've never had an issue getting in squads just being Soulbeast or going full on Boon Druid for big zergs, people do love their might stacks and spirit buffs. As Soulbeast I always run with a LB as of course, Barrage allows you to hit far away targets on walls ect. Wiped groups by just using that ability before. And when someone is targeted, I swap to them and they are downed in the next instant. Its really easy to time and pick off people when you know how. They can never run away. Easy to protect your flank. Condi SB though, I can see it working on the pve aspects but against players, not sure how well it'd do, never tried it. Lacks the picking off capabilities of a power build. It could "work" but it'd be harder to pull off then just pure damage. That and lacking in other area's like not having LB's 5.

Hey so question, what about mobs who used Retaliation before? Fighting the big Chak in HoT, says they reflect damage but now in melee range at least, they just apply the new buff to themselves. Its kinda funny to read "Reflects damage" while all its doing is making it take less condi damage and not reflecting damage. Edit: upon reading above, I see that some mobs kept it, but I can say that some mobs have not.
