What called for Ranger catching stray nerfs in PVP????

[Fenris.8563]

How is this necessary?   I finally come up with a build that I feel decent in, and now this.  At least give us an increase in the defensive buff when our pet us untamed.   How is this balancing?  This just doesn't make any sense to me.  This class needs to be reworked so bad and it's just catching nerf strays.   Frustrating.  I can't really find any other class that I actually enjoy playing.  At least not as much as Ranger.
 

Ranger

Vow of the Untamed: Reduced outgoing damage bonus from 15% to 10% in PvP only.

Ferocious Symbiosis: Reduced damage bonus per stack from 3% to 2% in PvP only.

That was definitely unwarranted.

I really do not understand the reason behind this changes. No one is complaining about untamed damage. 10% damage nerf is a lot!

Boyce asked for them. Anet delivered. 😁

Nerfing damage on Untamed of all things 😂.

Bright side is they didn't nerf core...yet.  

Guessing the 'logic' here is that they hit Fervent Force in PvE and no one uses it in sPvP so they had to nerf something randomly to feel like they did a good job on balancing.  There really is no other explanation for this.
