Which is why it relies on team fighting in order to win, but people are dumb and don't understand that. If you have a power chrono on your team, they'll want to team fight and win mid. Help them do that and they'll almost always be top dmg unless there's a deadeye in the group. If you let the power chrono go off mid and just defend you can win a match really easily. But yeah...requires team members to peel if focused, because focusing is a problem. Right now its just not even viable in its current state to even attempt side noding unless the opponents are really bad at the game.

I would go as far as to say power chrono is the worst spec in the entire game right now and needs serious buffs. Too many specs have several ways to avoid damage, rendering shatters useless. As mesmer is the most unique and original idea for a class that Anet came up with, it deserves to shine and be an S tier class. I suggest we double the shatter damage to make up for years of neglect so that we can have a few months of being meta. Thanks.

I'm not sure if Anet really gets it that literally every post is asking for ranger in general to be nerfed, even posts that are about other classes ranger gets mentioned for nerfs.

The actual question to your poll is worded really weirdly, even with the explanation I'm still not even sure what you're asking for. "Whats the worst profession" No I mean, "I am speaking about the performance of the strongest build the profession has access to. How well you can perform with each profession, when playing its strongest build." What???

Agreed, I've always thought that too. Ranger has no business being a better warrior than an actual warrior.

Nah I need to add to this. What even in the kitten? Why is power chrono damage even lowered when something like ranger in its current state exists? So with a long bow they're allowed to hit from longer range, do more damage, have insane melee burst, AND better defensive abilities? Better down-state abilities, just overall better. This is an example of my buttons are better than your buttons so I win.

Make no mistake, ranger still is the most overpowered and ridiculous class in spvp right now. Did you know that a ranger can shoot you at 1500 range AND knock you back with a long bow? Did you know that ranger can teleport to you multiple times AND go invis to evade your attacks? Did you know that even if you teleport away and have clones, the ranger teleport finds the right you immediately? Did you know that even power chrono shatters don't really do enough to a ranger to even come close to a fair 1v1 contest? Even if they hit, the ranger has among the best defensive and offensive abilities in the game. This isn't even mentioning pets, blocks, evades that everyone gets, and a heal. I don't understand why this class gets to be OP basically forever, while other classes are left in the dust. Whichever dev is maining ranger and insists on it being OP really needs to be taken down a notch.

You are someone who admitted to following me just to see my rating, which means you probably follow several people to manipulate the queue system. So you're literally part of the problem. Fun/pvp rewards

Please nerf all ranger specs, thanks.

Power chrono could use a slight damage boost for shattering. Virt probably needs more damage now too since it basically deletes in 2 seconds. Reaper shroud attack ranges should be increased slightly, not a lot but just enough to make it even a little more viable in a team fight. Necro seems to be a popular focus choice, even more so when they pop shroud. You don't see a lot of Firebrands, Specters so maybe those two as well

It’s a completely different, one is attacking while the other is trying not to die. Which would you rather play as?

yeah but are mesmers ALSO doing damage when they're invulnerable? (the answer is no)

Imagine defending a class that has dodges built in to its very attacks, does massive unblockable aoe damage, and still wears heavy armor

Actually it’s more like two abilities, mirror blade and phantasmal berserker (4). The 4 can be dodged super easily and most do, mirror blade just doesn’t do much. That leaves us with shatters, which most can just safely ignore these days because it doesn’t do enough damage. For example, I can full shatter a spellbreaker and it won’t die, will full heal and attack me until I’m dead. This is taking into consideration that I’m using blink, signet of illusions for f4, and two shield blocks. Let’s face it, both greatsword and shield 5 abilities on mes are worthless. Most classes are immune to GS 5, so it seldom works. Shield 5 has such a slow cast time and it has to generally be a frontal attack that it’s also worthless. You really have to be unlucky or rooted to get hit by shield 5. Even then click a stun break and its back in action. Also worth mentioning that a mes is usually the focus by the enemy team, rendering it useless and dead within seconds. Virt has it worse right now, been seeing and personally deleting virts on the spot. Sure chrono bunker might have it good but power chrono needs buffs.
