Guild Wars 2

Dear ANet,

Please remove ICDs on Invigorating bond and beastly warden. There is no need for it, it just creates a hidden mismatch in the availability of the effects due to a mismatch in f2 CDs and the ICDs. Invigorating bond is not that good. Even if you chain 2 in a row by casting f2, swapping then casting f2 the effect will not be that great, comparable to 1.5 warrior shout heals for example.

There is only one pet F2 ability that is shorter then 16s and that is the hawk f2.

For consistency in use and reliability please remove the ICDs and adjust the hawk f2 CD and skill effect. *

Ever thought about pet swapping? You could heal twice by swapping pet and casting again. That’s the reason.

That said: the trait is crap anyway, it’s a very low heal that heals only if you use an attack skill, so it’s bond to DPS. I just think the mechanic isn’t well though out. As it is with a lot of traits no one uses.

I know you could, thats the whole point I am trying to make, that YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO IT even if they have to tweak it. It is simply too inconsistent to sometimes proc it and sometimes not. Almost every ICD trait is tied to hitting or being hit or dropping under a HP treshold, but when you trait an ability it should always proc the effect and not only sometimes.

a bit higher radius would be nice

Make it 600 range and give it a condition like the Reaper Chilling Nova, ie cannot happen more than X times in X seconds.
