Ranger Nerfs incoming

aramyll

Well it appears that Hunter Rangers grasping roots are finally getting nerfed or fixed. Now Grasping roots will be considered a Control effect and thus will be affected by control immunities s and resists. So now that we have no means of stopping GWF or GF from catching us and then 2-3 shotting us or perma stunning, now that prone effects will last longer. What new strats will you be using to avoid being picked off ???

I really wish they would speed up HR attack animations, and fix the dodge from fox cunning so we dont get CC'ed while it is up

It is NOT a "nerf", it is a FIX. Everyone has known that the roots should not have worked through Unstoppable, ItC, and all the other control immunities, and we have known that it was going to be changed.

It will require some adjustment in PvP, but that is what PvP is, adjusting to the situation, be it caused by your opponent or a change to the game. Adapt and overcome and all that.

Combat spec is still strong in PvP. Ranged will be countered too easy when the patch hits.

You know people say that about ranged already and it doesn't match my experience at all.

Yep and the only differences between melee and ranged is defense. More power for melee or ranged attacks thats really the biggest differences between the two.

One crits more often and the other deals more attacks per attack in melee; thats it.
