Guild Wars 2

Let’s be clear: What skills does this ability affect? The talent description is rather misleading. For example, does it increase the healing provided to the pet via Signet of the Wild? Or is it only abilities the pet itself does without talent skills or traits?

For example, Compassion Training will affect the drake’s chomp ability, but it will not have any effect with Carnivorous Appetite.

Thank you.

If the pet is producing the heal (Regen/Natural Healing/ect) it affects it. But for some reason Carnivorous Appetite is not affect.

Its a bad trait and totally not worth it.

Thank you. In fact, I’m not seeing much of a difference to Natural Healing either. I’ll double check, but I’m starting to have the same opinion as you about this ability.

Again, thank you.

Try it with the moas aoe heal

So it will boost the moa’s Harmonic Cry, the fern hound’s Regenerate and most importantly, it boosts the healing that the ranger (not his pet) receives from the 30 point BM trait, Natural Healing. I’m not sure how blast finishers in water combo fields work with healing power, but it might also boost the area healing from a drake’s blast finisher in a water field.

That makes no sense if true. The traits states: Pets heal for more. There is zero mention, whether direct or indirect, as far as healing for the player. Can anyone confirm if Compassion Training increases the heals in any way, shape, or form for the ranger?

It does.

The real kitten thing (might be bugged idk) is that it doesn’t boost the natural healing for the pet itself wich is what you’d mostly want it for imo.

Puandro.3245:

It does.

Let me get this right. Compassion Training increases the heals to the player via Natural Healing, but gives nothing to the pet?

…

Seriously?

Well … okay. Thanks.

I’m going to assume this works for the pet with the ranger heals (F6) though and any regen buff the pet recieves?

If your pet is producing the heal then the heal will be increased unless its bugged like carnivorous appetite.

Puandro.3245:

If your pet is producing the heal then the heal will be increased unless its bugged like carnivorous appetite.

So that means the ranger produced heals and regen buffs don’t utilize Compassion Training.

Exactly that.

Wow, that just stinks!

I actually like that Compassion Training increases the healing done to the Ranger by Natural Healing. It makes it seem like the pet is healing the Ranger and vice versa with the skill (and that very well may be what is actually happening), which is a nice bit of synergy for the two. Its like the two are constantly healing one another, which is a bit more interesting than just “both regenerate health for no reason”.

I don’t mind the way Compassion Training in general, either. The trait description is poorly worded, but it pretty much just gives the pet additional Healing Power, which goes well with the other “Training” traits which do the same thing but for different secondary stats. Its not the most useful thing ever, but it rounds out the “Training” traits nicely and its not a complete waste if you run pets with healing skills, and hopefully in the future we’ll get more pets that have heals and the trait will become better utilized.

If the healing was a mutual “bond healing” then your healing power should increase it on the pet.

I would like to know if it’s intended to not increase the healing the pet recieves from natural healing or if it’s simply bugged though.
