Guild Wars 2

Since a lot of ppl on this forum see ranger utilities as lacking (or at least defensive utilities) i dont think its fair or balanced not to have a trait that gives us a bit of running speed (10% is enough i think) when using a melee weap.
Say you run sb/gs, or sb/s/d without the 25% speed signet just feels sooooooooooooooo slow, speaking about wvw where running speed is important while roaming or running on a group (aka not zerging).

Not using that signet just makes rangers use a warhorn, limiting the amount of build/weaps, we can use. I know some of you ll say ’ Oh but i dont use it n pawn ppl in wvw lolololol l2p’, may i remind you this is just an idea for a bit of speed increase on traits which a lot of other classes have, and not a QQ about the class.
Just a thought

Rangers are already the best orb carriers – this would make them a bit too good imho.

Well just as for every other profession it wouldnt stack on signet. Not a game changer imo but an improvement on the class.

afaik rangers already have the innate speed increase when carrying a melee weapon which stacks with the signet.

Giving rangers another 10% is just OP when it comes to moving around in WvW. You dont even need a warhorn. Just a GS and spam GS3 whenever its off cooldown gets you wherever you want to go QUICK.

if it didn’t stack with signet then it sounds good/

@kensaizen i didn’t realise there was an innate speed increase when carrying a melee weapon – i know warriors can trait to have it.

first time ive heard of innate speed increase. Never experienced it myself running w sb/s or sb/gs.

Must be me then it looks like I run faster with a GS then when holding a LB. I will test it when I get home

Are you sure it isnt the animation? Also happens with thief and short bow.

Whenever you have a bow on your hand the running animation slows down.

Will find out in 20 minutes

No your right, its the animation that makes it run faster. That and the little jerk to the screen when the weapons change gives the illusion the character was changing speed.

Fight or flight is pretty much determined by the skills/weapons you have slotted ..
e.g. Rampage or Entangle/Warhorn or melee weapon.
short of the options here you cant have the best of both worlds.

You mean like other classes have when using a melee weapon?
