Guild Wars 2

I think Rangers should apply torment OR confusion to their foes.
I specially look to the shortbow.
Lets look at SB #4 skill “Crippling shot” 3s cripple and some bleeds from ur pet on 12s cd.
Thats not useful, this skill should be used when u dont want that a foe Comes closer or runs away, but for that just 3s is just too weak.
I would suggest to apply torment, not many just 1 or 2 stacks for some seconds to make condition builds with shortbow stronger (actual condi ranger meta is A/T+S/D).
I dont know how it should apply torment, with the arrow or with the next attack of the pet. With the first one ist easier to evade, with the second one ist more difficult because the pet does it.

Or rangers should apply confusion. Here i look at concussion shot (SB#5) or maybe hilt bash (GS#5) too. How many stacks or how Long confusion would last is up to anet.
Maybe the Trait “Moment of Clarity” could be modified with that.
Atfer the last update the rangers tried to make their own “Stun meta” with SB/GS but the dmg and the stuns are not woth it to create an own strong or even relevant meta.
so that this trait adds some stacks confusion after every dace/stun.
Then this trait could be more interesting.

I think with that ideas we could push the meta out of Spirits to more condition or power. We just Need a buff in offensive Terms and maybe some nerfs in defensive regards. Nevertheless the oppotunity to apply one of this conditions would be a good buff to rangers

Other ideas regarding where we should apply this conditions are welcome!

Torment sure.
Confusion on interrupt maybe.
