Guild Wars 2

In the last ‘hotfix’ change, this was changed on Rangers…

Ranger

• Clarion Bond: Added a 30-second recharge to the skill Call of the Wild, which is triggered by this trait.

We finally had a viable trait in PvE that stacked a little might and fury and it instantly got nerfed!

I understand the need to have a cooldown on it, but 30 seconds is rediculously long! A 10 second cooldown is more than suffient to prevent abuse of this trait, and will still allow it to be used effectively on pet swapping with the reduced pet swap trait.

Now that my sollution to your obvious mistake is out of the way, I’d like to go ahead and complain about some things.

Firstly, that this was nerfed in the first place! Rangers are miles behind every other profession on DPS and we finally start to get a bit better and are the first to be hit with nerfs! It’s totally unjustified and unfair. Which brings me on to my next complaint.

Why did you not nerf Mesmers or Engineers in the last patch/hotfix? Both of these have rediculous damage currently, and Engineers are able to 1hit players in PvP. I think it’s absolutely disgusting that you ignore important issues that NEED to be fixed, and change things that DONT need to be ‘fixed’.

• This has been posted before.
• This thread should be in the ranger subforum
• The trait having no ICD was a bug.

Engineers one-shotting people with grenades is also a bug. I expect anet to disable the grenadier trait like they disabled guardians’ bugged symbol trait.

It’s not a nerf. CB was supposed to have a 30 sec cd all along. If you watched the live stream introducing the trait you would see this. Now if we want to argue that that was a bad idea and that the cd needs to be lowered then go ahead. But don’t call this a nerf.

One thing they DO need to fix is pet stats. Their stats are currently lower than they were before the patch and they were supposed to be better…

Rangers was probably an easy fix.

Guardians – not so much but has been stated will be fixed any moment.

Engineers – who knows. Should be removed like Guardians until further notice. However, it wasn’t until Mag showed up with a group of Engineers wrecking faces and taking names. I hear they are going to do similar with Engineers – let us hope so as that is a good attention getter.

Do the boys and girls a favor who do this on Mag. Send them unidentified dyes or some silver for their time. If it wasn’t for them Guardians would still be f’ing up the game.
