I’ve been waiting years for ranger to get an elite spec that puts it into the WvW zerging meta.
Druid was fun but they nerfed staff (evade) & nerfed ca & healing. The new glyph was supposed to help but to be quite honest, unless the glyph’s location moves with the player then It’s quite useless unless you get extremely lucky with placement. Even then, the healing component is quite underwhelming.
Soulbeast stance share is cute but… it’s easily outdone by Firebrand. & If i try to join a zerg as a sniper then I get booted.
The Untamed is… well. Useless. Completely messes up stealthing pushes and can’t become the frontline bruiser as intended (but why choose it, when spellbreaker does everything better).
Ranger was my first class and WvW is the first game mode that really stuck with me. I’ve waited years just like other ranger mains, I played scourge and firebrand and scrapper instead but to be quite honest I just wish ranger would someday have a place in WvW meta.
Not just in casual zerging but in competitive guild zerging, I just want to be able to provide something.
Honestly I’m just quite sick of Anet favouring some classes over others. And as a result we get an elite specialisation with no coherency, ugly & boring animations, absolute failure of executing a concept that was [probably] clumsily made up overnight & agreed on JUST so they could go ahead with the expac. Did I mention its animations are ugly?
This is Not an attack on anyone, however I do feel like I have to express how utterly disappointed I am with how things for rangers, from the perspective of a WvW player.
