Guild Wars 2

Yep guyz, just wanted to step by and tell you that our idea from another post of Search and Rescue being the ability cast instead of the trap has been confirmed on stream just now.

May Lyssa bless us all.

Cheers!

Daze for Storm Spirit was also suggested on the forums, as well as Spirits pulsing boons with Nature’s Vengeance. Looks like they do read the forums!

Edit: Also, a “destroy” command for Spirit. I recall someone posting about wanting that since they can’t move to force a reset mid-combat. Pop that active and reset it!

I do hope they read my Wilderness Survival rearrange -.-

Guard also no longer has a cast time. Coupled with the new revive trait, it could make for some interesting uses for my crappy all shout ranger that I made.

The problem with the destroy command: Anet decided to give every spirit a 30 second cooldown, instead of the current 20 second cooldown.

Let’s see the active/passive effects of the spirits. Let see if the still stay just for 60 seconds.
And now : they do not follow us and they has longer CD .
I see a nerf there no an improvement.

Oh, geez. I didn’t even notice the increased Spirit cooldown. Well kitten…

Pulse 1s boon per 3 s, so useful.

The way to move it was the swap the spirit of the skill bar and then back on. The spirit dies and goes on 20 s cd. Now we get 30 s instead…cool.

I’m thinking the water spirit will end up being even crappier now, even though they got rid of the double cast time thing… Unless it does some crazy stuff like clean all condis and put out a massive heal on being popped.

I couldn’t recall if one of the traits reduced spirit cooldowns… might be worth considering as a buff, I suppose.

I’ll just copy/past what I said about that in the other thread.

I’m overly cautious about the “1s boon every 3s” description. They mentioned that a boon could be might, and that one spirit may offer Stability.

All I can say is that 1s of Might would be pathetic, even if it was a decent stack size, so I am hoping they use more meaningful and powerful boons for a GM status such as Stability, Resistance, Quickness, Fury, and Aegis.

Yup, you’re already dead by the time that spirit cd is up

Please mates do not forget that now if traited you get the active skill cast when the spirit dies and after the change you won’t.
That was usefull because you can’t keep an eye in the lifebar of your spirit and also you don’t know how much time has left.

Seriously WTF
