Welcome to the Weekly Question Post on c/guildwars2!
This post is dedicated to those questions that you might not think is worth making a whole post about, but sure is worth getting an answer to ;)
Remember to also take a look at the links in the sidebar, which holds lots of great resources and information.
Guildwars rangers are very different from hunters of other competitors. They are more like druids in many regards, that are close to the nature. Using high tech weapons doesn’t really fit their theme.
as Druids I would totally agree, but as a ranger I don’t know, I still think it’s a missed opportunity
I don’t know maybe it’s just that I want another ranged weapon because the bows are imho bit that good.
They probably don’t want them to mix with engineers. With the Soto they are adding maces. For future updates I think they will first add other offhand weapons like sword or even focus.
If you don’t like the bows check out the axes, they are great for both damage types.
na I’m done with ranger. It almost killed my fun in guild wars because I always play the ranged pet class, but here it was no fun to me.
Now that I have discovered Engi + action mode it’s a whole new game and just awesome :)
And because you unlock everything account wide, I had most of the mastery stuff for hot done and could enjoy just the story
That’s the beauty of gw, just switch between characters anytime you want. I’m regularly switching between ranger and thief. Also played holo for some time and could do it without leveling and gearing a character for a few weeks.
yeah took me some time to realize it, cause normally I only play one class and one character. But I’m glad I did it and now I’m having a blast.
