Guild Wars 2

And what I mean by that, is a Stacking Duration Buff..

Instead of relying on kills to increase Masters Bond Buff, we’d rely on time.

Every second you have your pet out it would increase Masters Bond by 1, Meaning if you keep your pet for a full 25 seconds out, he’d have 25 MB stacks.

This would allow us to swap pets, and not be completely screwed running this talent, But it’d also allow us to actually go into water without fear.

No, it should work like stacking sigils. Ending only when your pet dies. Swapping pets or going in/out of water shouldn’t affect it. That’s the only change that needs to happen.

agreed. MB is currently completely useless in pvp, as the pet dies so often.

before the empathic bond patch, my pet didn’t die at all.
Now however.. lol.
