Evade/parry rate on Friars is def broke.

Why are rank 2/3 friars beating up on my rank 6 ranger with full MP Temp.

Obviously broke

They have better evade, they have parry, they have heal proc on hit, they have crush damage. They win.

Sometimes you need to be selective in who you try to kill.
And sometimes people get lucky.

Because everyone is somehow okay with friars being overpowered lol

expect much backlash and sarcasm for complaining about it

You have stealth, you decide who you attack.

Did you use your bow?

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Friar when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Exactly

Friars are easily kited as they have no speed and only 1 interrupt which you can sprint and restealth before their rupt timer is up

Toe to toe with a full HP friar = rip

Because they have an RA called Reflex Attack and it's OP.

Im shure its EVERY Friar you fight beats you up and EVERYONE of them is rr 2/3 ... even if its just 2.. if they are speced for going solo you can have a hard time if they know and you dont what to do

Lol, you do know friars can heal, right? You run from a friar to kite, they stop and heal. You don’t run and keep shooting, they run at you and interrupt you with taunt, while you’re interrupted they heal or run into melee range.

Or, you shoot a friar, they face and run the other direction, once out of range they heal to full and just keep running.

Long story short, engaging a friar as a ranger is pointless and a waste of time. It’s the same as engaging a level 50 BD, you just don’t do it.

You're absolutely right - guys every single class in the game should have absolutely no counters what so ever. We need to give every class everything so they have a chance to kill everyone.

My goodness these QQ posts are incredible.
You died in a rvr zone, picked a horrible target to try and kill and had to hit /release. Get over it.

Rolled a merc actually, saracen thrust.. Been pretty fun, also messing around with reaver, gunna try slash reaver with that nice abs debuff.. I find friars to be too boring, can't keep my eyes open when I play one

I'm guessing you're not talking to me and meant to quote someone else, or you didn't read my post and/or didn't absorb what was said.

You're correct, misquote wasn't intended for you. @OP

There are many classes as a Ranger you just should not attack unless the perfect situation. Thankfully you usually have a choice.

For me, a friar is one...

Here is a listing of classes I will not attack one on one unless they are distracted, already engaged, or lower level. This is because each one either has a way to counter me and kill me or escape/defend themselves so I can't kill.

Bummer that you're struggling so much with your Ranger. Maybe reroll a BD as it is an easier class to play.

I also heard necromancers win 90% of all 1on1 fights just by design. So if you want to win without the game being a challenge they are a good candidate too

Leveling my hunter at the moment. Curious if it really is that bad at level 50.
