Guild Wars 2

No, rangers are just running a trait to give pets 1 stack of might when they crit. why? So the ranger can get some might from WHAO.. doesnt even last longer than 2 seconds so its still not even that great either.

….nothing new, move on.

Perhaps it’s the result of your pet getting 15+ seconds of QUICKNESS so they attack twice as fast, doing DOUBLE damage. Originally Tail Swipe comes out pretty slowly and often didn’t hit it’s target.

So yeah, pet damage really high because ArenaNet totally forgot Nature Trait line existed.

OR it can also be a bug.
Ranger pet damage got bugged increase TWICE over the course of regular game updates as an unintentional damage increase.

Remember the cele meta? When everything was tanky? We had birds damage going from 3k crits to 9k crits against tanky targets. That was a bug. ArenaNet bugged it before, twice, they can do it again.

quickness is 50%, y u no kno game mechanics?

ranger damage is higher now because of the might stacks, that’s all there is to it.

o_0 than kill the pet hahahaaha I guess players will actually have to shoot at the pet instead of ignoring them for a change.

Pets were so bad even Rangers didn’t want them.

Im pretty sure wasting your stunbreak to get extra quickness on a pet is a risky trade to begin with. Taking the trait for quickness is even riskier. That think doesnt exactly have the best CD, you know.

its a gimmick, that works the first day or two. you have to spec a tree you dont need, use a inferior gm trait in BM, use your stunbreak, use your heal, loose condi removal. Just to get some quickness to attack faster in downstate

What ranger got from WHAO is sacrificing a stronger heal that also clears two condis to get more offense through might for him and a pet and some fury for the pet (and a bit of extra prot). Its a fair tradeoff. Though in either cases it still doesnt fit into ele pvp meta and you wont see it much. Its a playable/viable class but has no chance to be really powerful.

Quickness stacking is useful in PVE but stack all the quickness and might you want on the ranger it gets nowhere near ele dps, so its still not needed in pve.

counter that , Frost spirit 3 might to all party members now and warhorn gives 3 might and the Wyvern firefield with a double blast from clarions+warhorn yes we can stack might..it may not be as much damage as eles thats because Eles have always been the high Damage spec of guildwars even in gw1 they had the one of the highest damage dps rotaitons plus specing for Air gave them the highest spike Attacks too .

but with the update Rangers are Welcome now we can stack might and that also allows rangers to attack from a distance too again increasing LB damage while closing into Melee with easy quick stack in combat of 25might while sharing boons and Using Heal as one to copy boons Pets (felines mostly will have 1750 condition damage or Equal to 130damage per second per stack of bleeds) all felines apply 4 bleeds on pounce and a lynx applies 4+4 bleeds on a rotaiton (520 damage per second) or 1040per second if 8 stacks of bleeds.

so ya we got a damage boost overall , we maybe near to ele right now but that doesn’t give anyone the right anymore to say this " so its still not needed in pve"
