Guild Wars 2

This skill needs improvement.
You blow the warhorn to get a 33% increase in speed but in reality you agro everything, causing you to lose speed. The swarm causes a 2 second cripple, but lets be realistic. You are not going to catch up to anything when you blow this.
You are not even going to gain ground on the person you are chasing because as soon as you blow it your going -33% speed.
The reduced speed triggers on anything, Ambient creature’s anything with HP ect.

I would like to see this skill get buffed so that you move 33% speed with agro for the duration of the skill. And if you were actually able to catch up to something, more than a 2s cripple.
I mean really, what was this skill designed for if not to make you even slower than you were before?

Well yeah it may be annoying if you runn around in open pve but in spvp and wvw the skill is actually quite good. There is a reason why warhorn is THE meta offhand weapon. The pulsing cripple makes it really good for kiting (one condi cleanse wont work).

At least Signet of the Locust and Quickening Thirst are 25% and there are runes, too; much better than at release. Oh, and Speed of Shadows, too.

That would mean having superspeed. And if they did change it to superspeed, the most you’d get would be 5 seconds. This doesn’t need a rethink at all. It is the best Necro offhand skill and you just need to learn how to use it properly.

I love my warhorn. What I don’t love is:
Zone in to enemy BL.
Food – Check
Build – Check
Outnumbered buff – Check
Blow warhorn 5 to get this party started – Aggro something invisible before even leaving the starting area, thus wasting the skill and actually making it slower to get out there.
