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.

No one cares, and you frequently come across as an elitist so I have nothing to say to you as you're wrong.

The damage needs to be scaled accordingly to be the top damage in the game, due to how glass the spec is and because all of our shatters can be easily dodged and blocked. As all other classes have increasingly gained more and more defensive abilities, armor, and other damage mitigations, chrono has lagged behind in changes that balance the game. I know this because I main a power chrono and I've seen how it has fluctuated over time. Mes should be able to counter war and that's just not always the case anymore. Edit: Any confused emotes just means you play an OP spec and don't want to see balance in the game or other specs succeed, simple as that.

Nah he's right, it's a poorly conceived class. Almost 0 downsides but still not as much of a problem as ranger.

Yeah but you can tell you're fighting against real winners with names like Sex Mex, Pisturber and Drag Hunting Beauty

Why is it that 9 people can queue up but one person has to ruin it for everyone? Like, isn't it weird that it's always one person and not like 2-3 people who are afk?

Yeah and tbh the Arena 2v2 was like what, 2 weeks? I didn't even have time to complete my chests, which I wasn't too pleased about. I was playing way more casually than usual because I was doing SoO content but still, you should be able to complete the chests if you play at least one match a night.

I'm glad someone else is acknowledging that we actually get balance updates, I took a break from pvp and came back after I realized that the balance team actually does try to do a good job, and they have a really difficult task with how dynamic this game is and how many specs and abilities there are.

It's been turbo stompy for a long time

My favorite part about this is that a nerf chrono post turned into a nerf ranger post If they somehow nerf support chrono, please leave power chrono alone

I'm referring to the person who rating stalked me

I play necro and chrono, but have a guard too that I don't use a lot

Either way just validates my point, teammate rng is a thing. One solo player could be higher than another simply for teammate rng and team comps alone. Me getting the same guy three times in a row and losing every match when I have all the top stats every single match just goes to show that rating is bogus.

cool that doesn't make any sense because I haven't been on the top 250 in a long time so there's no way to see my rating.

nah if I were on the Anet balancing team, rangers, thief and ele wouldn't exist anymore
