Hypothetical Ranger Update[edit]
The purpose of this page is to imagine what a hypothetical Ranger update might look like for fun. In around 2012, ArenaNet mentioned they were planning to overhaul and balance the skills and attributes of some classes that had fallen out of favor in the meta-game. Prior to discontinuing skill balance updates, Rangers were slated to receive a profession overhaul. Historically, Rangers have occupied a strong position in PvP especially in 4v4 or 8v8 formats flexibly playing the role of front, mid, or back line pressure with outstanding spike potential and ability to supply utility to the team through damage, conditions, interrupts, traps, and more. In PvE, outside of flavor of the month builds or niche speed clear roles, Rangers have historically struggled to find an adequate damage role in PvE utilizing their core Marksmanship and Beast Mastery traits. Other than Barrage spam, most of the general PvE Ranger meta revolves around using melee martial weapons such as daggers or scythes. Because of this, I will be paying closer attention to Marksmanship, Beast Mastery, and Wilderness Survival to bring forth the necessary adjustments towards greater overall damage and utility that Rangers need to distinguish themselves from borrowing upon other professions.
My aim is to target weak, underutilized skills in both the PvE and PvP formats while preserving key skills that otherwise excel in either format. As most of my time spent playing Guild Wars today is in PvE, this hypothetical Ranger update is primarily imagined under the framework of a PvE update (with some attention paid to the effects of skills as they hypothetically affect PvP). As such, I will be leaving core, staple PvP skills mostly untouched such as: Crippling Shot, Distracting Shot, Natural Stride, or Troll Unguent. Instead, the focus is generally redirected towards modifying skills that are lackluster in either format. The point of this page is not to provide a definitive balance update in PvE or PvP which is virtually impossible in any proper quality without extensive collaboration and play testing, but to entertain the notion of re-balancing skills as a thought experiment of what a profession overhaul could look like. Part of these efforts will be to preserve the design philosophy and functionality of ArenaNet's skills in a way that is faithful to the spirit of what I believe they envisioned Rangers to be. Of course, this is all subject to my personal perspective, judgments, and bias, so take all of this with the necessary skepticism afforded by a fan made mock up.

Wilderness Survival skills[edit]
Now, nature rituals are generally much stronger with many of their annoying negative effects reworked to provide buffs for well-prepared teams that build their compositions specifically around Nature Rituals. Resource requirements for Nature Rituals have been standardized to 5 second casts, roughly 30-60 seconds of uptime, and 45 seconds of cooldown to correlate to roughly 30-60 second windows of beneficial spirit effects. Spirits have had their levels adjusted to give them greater survivability in narrower, tighter windows needed to maintain their effects for 100% uptime. These changes should provide much more tactical and strategic elements around incorporating nature rituals into team compositions.
Preparations have been annoying for Rangers to use (especially in PvE) as they take a long time to cast, sometimes last for a very short time, and cost massive amounts of energy to maintain. All preparations have been standardized to 2s casts with 30s skill uptimes with adjustments to energy costs, cooldowns, and rebalanced functionality. Across the board, preparations are more energy efficient and functionally useful with the trade off of longer cooldowns. Now, Rangers will have to play around half-minute windows of preparation uptime which is less disruptive to gameplay, but allows counterplay by enemy AI or players which may disable or interrupt those activating preparations punishing careless Rangers for 15-30s.
All traps have been moved to either Wilderness Survival or No Attribute as well as standardized to last for 60 seconds with lower overall energy requirements to compensate for their shorter durations. Additionally, traps have had their cooldowns reduced around this 60s duration. As such, players will be able to place and maintain two or three traps (per trap skill) in a given 60 second window. Overall, traps deal slightly less damage, their conditions have slightly reduced durations, and less may be placed in a given window of time. However, incorporating traps into Ranger or cross-profession builds is less burdensome due to lower overall energy costs.
