hi all
i want to play a character from now till the release of Gw2. But i can't decide wether I'm going to play with my Rt or with my Ranger.
I want a versatile profession, and i want to get some titles <-- important ^^
so why should i play with my Rt?
or why should i play with my ranger?
i'd like to hear your opinions, if you know a nice playstyle for one of these professions, i want to hear that too ^^

Rt, its a change.. you see a ranger more often than a Rt
Rt's are strong, they can heal, spiritspam, do quite some dmg, buff teammates etc. I'd prefer Rt over ranger but thats just me

If its just for pve title stuff ritualist would probably be more interesting, they have a wider variety of effective high end builds. Ranger however only has a few high end builds that are very effective most of which a variation on barrage/volley, working with heroes on a ranger is extremely easy due to you being a ranged physical but it can get boring. Working with heroes on a rit isn't as easy to c space through and do something else but its still not going to be too bad.

mmm, tough choice, they both are very versatile.
Ranger: Trapping, condition spreader, pets, crip.
Ritualist: Healing, offensive/protective weapon spells (which can't be removed), Item spells which give some huge boosts, spiritspamming.
i tried them both, both completed Factions. I prefer Ritualist more as i loved the spirits, and the weapon spells really come in handy. I have her over a year now. The second i completed factions with my ranger, i deleted him. Rangers are good in PvP and in PvE, but they just don't do it for me =[

I'd say ranger. I've done more on my ranger in a year than on other characters in 2.5 years. They can be used in any situation.
My rit is a lvl 20 survivor, but I haven't played on her in months.. they just bore me =\
Oh and rangers have kewl armors ^^

Its about personal taste. Rt are a hard(er) class and require more skills. it gets bored when you don't know what you are doing. I should choose for a RT if you like to play a support class.
Rangers are good DPS(Splinter barrage) and have pets.
Ritualist can be a good DPS(they can play a Minion Master) and are better healers then monks in some cases

I play ranger almost exclusively in GvGs lately. Plus they're a core class, and core classes > non core classes. Except for necros, those are just boring.

Ritualist as first if you like switching around things, one day you can use Channeling, the other time Restoration, with Rangers its (no offense) alot of the same thing, arrow here, arrow there, ofcourse you can variate alot in playstyle, but you can't actually play semi-monk.
Rits have good armor just as Rangers, its called Taste, be grateful for that or we'd all be the same.

Rangers have Read the Wind, Broad Head Arrow, Distracting Shot and Savage Shot. That's all you could ever dream of when vanquishing.
Rit's have... Splinter Weapon and Ancestor's Rage which can be used effectively as a second prof :P Other than that I don't like rits as anything but healers.
After all, it's all about personal taste, though.

Here, i have to agree. They are more versatile, but don't require more skill.

It's definitely much harder to put up Pain than Dshotting stuff.

I click all of my skills, which allows me to smash my space bar harder, thus dealing bigger damage.

Oh you're messing with the wrong profession right there >:(
After 2 years of PvE I thin I can say I know what I'm doing, but rits just bore the hell out of me. You walk outside, you see a mob, you make a spirit camp, (takes 20-30 seconds), flag your hench and heroes, pull the mob and watch how they get killed.. maybe even touch the mend body and soul skill a few times. And if you have bad luck, the enemies slaughter your spirits first and you just made them all for nothing.
Ofcourse you can also do other stuff than putting up spirits with a rit, but.. why would you need ritualist first profession for that? Because the only thing spawning power does is make spirits have more health and makes your weapon spells last longer (wich you don't need if you go WoR healer).
If you want to spike with sum cool channeling stuff you might aswel go necro with infinite energy so can pew pew everything.
And as also said above, I find it way more challenging to interupt stuff than watching other stuff do it for you.
/end rant
I hope you choose ranger =P

No Wonder you found it completely boring, you where Spirit Spamming, you have a one-sided view on Rits now, not your intentional fault at all, but it basicly explains the catch.
You should try it again, use new builds, dont know how long you haven't played but there's probably new skills around the block, Try It, you already made the decision to Buy It.

I did too. I'm so lazy in PvE. I just cspace stuff, rarely weapon swap, sometimes if there's a place to camp out, I flag my heroes and go AFK... haha.

I say, if you got 2 slots open, just make a Rt and R, then play through their compaign and see how you like them.
Then Pick 1 and do the other compaigns.
Woof!

OK..after 3 years of playing Guild Wars, I have tried both the Ranger proffesion and the Ritualist proffesion, with my experience you can believe me... All Rangers do is shoot arrows with a Bow to destroy things, while only thing Ritualists (it is from the Factions Campaign) can do is summon powerfull Spirits which are very strong. I think Rangers are strong but Ritualists are strong too, even though only Thing you Can Do is shoot arrows with a Bow while on the Guild Wars Proffesion Ranger, and use Spirits while on the Guild Wars Proffesion Ritualist. There is nothing more to it, they are both strong fighters, while the Ranger Class uses Bows and Arrows to survive in the evil PvE (Player Versus Environment) world, to defeat big mobs of Monsters, aswell as the hability to have a Pet as a companion for life (I chose to have a Melandrue's Stalker with me because they are strong and give cover-fire) so that I can go into Mission Towns saying ARCHER LOOK FOR GROUP I HAVE POISON MASS DAMAGE VERY STRONG GOOD BOW AND MAX ARMOR NEARLY. On the other hand, Ritualists can only put Ghosts on the floor so that the enemy triggers them and then die. This is very boring in my opinion, as you can not have a Bow for a Ritualist because they are casters and not melee class.
So. If you can't decide wheter to play Ritualist or Ranger, just think of what you prefer, a strong Beast Master with a Melandrue's Stalker or a Weak Ghost Summoning Caster that sits behind the Ghosts while the enemy slowly dies from them.
That's just my personal opinion of this, but as I have been playing for so long, you should consider this strongly.
