Step1: Stealth and pray for crit.
(priest insta heals)
Step2: Pray your next charge arrow lands.
(priest insta heals and casts stun on you)
Step3: Pray you aren't stuneed while attemping any of this.
(oops too late you're dead.)
Step4: Priest will keep saying its all fair and fine because you have "traps" and you "instacast stuff" and "zomg rangers too op".
Step5: Get dragon buff, re-duel the priest, proceed to unleash a freaking army of falcons on them and shower them in arrows >D
But seriously, people keep forgetting Rangers have no self-heal at all (unless you count Ymir's full heal which usually people avoid using on duels anyways, and you cant -spam-). Kiting means nothing when you get stunned often. And they say they can't hit us... pff yeah right (with the current hit/dodge formulas broken and everyone and their mothers rocking full-agi builds). Once you tossed DoTs+Stun on a ranger, watch them slowly and steadily die in front of your eyes no matter how many arrows they pewpew; priest can still heal any dmg deal on them (lol poison arrow? is that a DoT even?) while ranger's hp gone is just gone unless they pot. Sure, priests still need to recharge holywater to keep either stunning you or healing you, but while they cast it they still can recover hp with renovatio or simply be smart and toss a judex+aspersio combo at you on their last charge so you're stunned while they're casting aqua benedicta. Traps? lolright, even IF they happen to derp and actually trigger ankle snare trap, they're just snared but can still easily cast skills to either stun you or DoT you or heal while trapped (or simply heal and await patiently for trap to poof). During all this time, unless the ranger was able to do some whooping huge crits and oneshot them in the right moments, the ranger is just dying and prolonging the inevitable.
^ Give stuns/knockdowns the ironwill buff-on-target like with freeze, and that will already be a very simple step forwards that shouldn't bother anyone. Next, just make it so priests cant stun-lock. No, there's no real need for a priest to -desperately need- this chainstunning for pve. No excuses. Noone should be chainstunning.
EDIT= No, I'm NOT saying rangers are zomg ultra nerfed/-_-/bad/weak and asking for Priests to be nerfed/madeuseless. There's a LOT of general issues that NEED to be addressed for ALL classes to be balanced and keep differences yet have equal opportunities.
