Someone has yet to experience the joys of Blizzard customer support.

I always had good experiences with Blizzard support, but then, most of my interactions were just requesting that they free up character names for me from inactive accounts. Maybe some day I'll be able to do that in GW2 and have all the bird names. :allears:

I hate everything about this picture.

While I don't play a ranger myself, it boggles my mind why they didn't make the Ranger's pet optional like in GW1.

Edit: Guess this means spirit weapons will also remain forever and always utterly useless.

A petless ranger would still have a bunch of issues, a lot of the problems they have are tied directly to overall game balance, there's roughly a billion bosses with AoE poo poo or annoying one shot mechanics and pets end up getting the brunt of these, the shittiest thing is that a lot of those one shot mechanics have no discernible tells, its just happens and woop you're dead, a good example if the honor of the wave boss 2, that dude has an attack that looks like he's swimming with one of his arm sticking out, when he does this, HIS ENTIRE MODEL is a loving hitbox, even if you're behind him you can get hit and this attack hits on every single frame for like 4k, even a full traited tougness, soldier gear guardian will go down in the blink of an eye.

Rangers also have some of the worst utility skills in the game.

I love mine but its a deeply flawed class and its pretty obvious Anet didn't give any fucks when designing it. Its also plagued by the worst players in the game so even the good ones get a bad rap.

Guys I got this cool rear end sword from the Lion's Arch event (which is also a cool rear end event): http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lord_Taeres%27s_Shadow


I really like it, but it also sells for a bunch of gold on the auction house. Someone convince me to keep it.

What's there to spend money on? Dressup. Looking awesome. That's the goal here. If you like that sword more than the other swords, then if you sold it now you'd just have to rebuy it later to look awesome.

Not sure if it is a bug or whatever but 2 Zephyr Sanctum pictures show up when you go in to Lions Arch as well so maybe that will be replacing the destroyed Lions Arch while it is rebuilt.

Alright I will then. Any suggestions for an Axe that matches? Also, I like to play Warrior with Sword/Axe but I see a lot of people doing Axe/Sword instead. Is the Axe auto-attack chain much more powerful or what gives?

Axe chain is, currently, the highest pure DPS, if i remember correctly. People enjoy running Axe/Mace for utility, Axe/Axe for even more Damage (Due to Trait skilling you can do), but i greatly enjoy Axe/Shield for utility and survivability.

Sadly, i don't have much Sword experience, so i can't give input on that.

The peacemaker weapons (asura cultural tier 3) are also purple, leave a trail and are awesome looking.

I think that purple sword looks awful so I would sell it in a heartbeat. I would say if you don't care either way to sell it. If you love it, don't let its value stop you from keeping it.

The thing is people love to say this over and over, but I've personally run pretty much all the content in the game on my ranger and run it with cletus on his. It just isn't true. Sure, there are a few cases where it is true. Those cases often have boss dynamics that prevent other classes from using some of their mechanics as well though. Rangers aren't much worse, if at all, designed than any other class in the game.

Sword offhand gives you a 900 range application of 5 stacks of Torment on a 15 second cooldown, along with a block on a 15 second cooldown. Sword 4 also has a followup after you apply the Torment that hits for about 2/3rds of what Final Thrust does (sword 3), so it offers decent damage and utility.

I love sword main-hand, but axe is definitely more damage. Unless you need the perma-cripple that you get from sword main hand, go with Axe/Sword.

Sword/axe with full rabid gear/undead runes is a lot of fun and pretty good DPS too as long as noone else is running bleeds build.

They've occasionally had false positives before, usually some staffer making a mistake. Also there'd be no reason for me to ever come back if this was true; the standard camera feels really unpleasant.
