Guild Wars 2

From a Multipul problems on building as a Druid it lacks forms of Boons or speed movement outside of Asteral grace and traiting for Survival.

or using a second weapon set for Fury/might/swiftness like Warhorn or using Clarions bond.

the options are there but are behind weapons or Traits which don’t mesh well with Druid set ups , condi druid is the only form of damage druid we have right now which Sacrifices Movement speed unless you take Natural Stride or Celestial Shadow .

now the real problem is this Does not effect the pet , its slow as a turtle on a druid spec without going to the more Defined Marksmanship and nature magic for shared boons.

so

the proposal is to give Astral Grace the addition of swiftness to Allies it passes through.
6seconds of swiftness to all Allies including the ranger , by the time Asteral grace animation is over the ranger will have 2-3 seconds of swiftness which can give the pet Swiftness for those 6seconds making up for the pets Mobility loss out side of Warhorn/clarions/signet of the hunt or the Marksman trait tree/skirmishing trait tree which don’t support the pet.

clearly Druid builds have boon support issues and pets don’t benifit from any boons at all being a druid.

this change grants nearly no Benifit to the druid using asteral grace but those it passes over and effecting the pet , give it more Synergy with Ranger pets.

change Natural Stride to effect Pets , as melee pets are in combat they will be effected by a lot of Mobility conditions making the trait less useful .

but for this case Natural Stride gives the pet a strong movement speed for opening attacks / gap closing that much quicker while not effect by cripples/chills

Proposals

Asteral grace.
Heals and Grants allies 6seconds of swiftness to any it passes over.

Natural Stride
you and your pet gain 33% speed while not under the effects of movement conditions
Movement conditions are reduced by duration by 33%.

outside of set weapons and Nature/marksman magic trait the pet has no Mobility bonuses, adding this to effect the pet will also increase the pets Effective dps uptime.

swiftness for small groups and with a faster pet keeping it near to gain more effect AF generation.
