Guild Wars 2

Hey fellow Rangers,

these last days I found that I can not finish enemies (did not try in sPvP, only WvW) when under the effect of “Signet of The Wild” and “Signet of The Beastmaster”.

This must be a bug, right? Since this is one of the “safe stomp” possibilies that we have. I don´t see why this could be intended.

Anyone else can confirm?

It’s been this way since beta, it is considered a “transformation” and as such you can’t Rez or finish while it’s active, yes it’s stupid , no it shouldn’t be this way especially now Rampage doesn’t work like that.

Apparently there’s some sort of conspiracy going around that Anet hates us and only loves Warriors. That or there’s some sort of reason why we absolutely have to transform and “grow larger” like our pet does in order for the signet to work. That, or both reasons I just gave, and any other reasons anyone could possibly come up with are dumb reasons because other classes that have access to non-elite stability aren’t handicapped like we are. Personally, I think its the last one.

Well keep in mind we grow because we get “enlargement” which gives 25% more damage and apparently 50% more movement speed (more than swiftness, doesn’t work out of combat), so I see why… I just think that they should make it so you can stomp while in that form, like how you can while using Rampage.

Don’t forget other classes transformation stomps, like Engineers Elixir invulnerability, eles mist form, and necros plague form. These can all also be initiated during the initial stomps activation time, which means the issue seems to be that because of the lack of cast time, the activation of the skill doesn’t interrupt the current action/animation, allowing the stomp to continue.

The thing is, I don’t even think rangers are capable of doing that. I mean, a 30 point trait investment for the only source of Stability attainable outside of Rampage as One, and we can’t even stomp with it when other classes can take a free from trait investment transformation that has multiple purposes including being used for “free” stomping.

Just seems to be a little bit of a glaringly obvious balance issue that has gone completely vocally unnoticed and unaddressed by the dev team. Hopefully they address it sooner or later (sooner, please sooner).
