I was testing builds in prep for next week and gave this trait a try ( even though it’s in heavy competition with the new OoakheartS and expertise training for next week’s build)
and since I am giving up the utility muddy terrain for the new amazing QZ, I was gonna miss the immob; so I tried the trait.

anyways so I noticed that it’s on a 1 second ICD and adds fury and removes 2 condis from SotF >.> <,< >.> 1 second icd >.> <,< do you think they will fix this next week or have they not noticed or is there not really any viable competitive ways to use it?

It’s the falling damage trait you’re talking about? That one won’t be useful unless you somehow create a fight that revolves around you continously jumping off a ledge high enough to activate it. So basically it won’t be useful outside of some edge cases in WvW as it is now.

The greatest freedom is the freedom not to get involved.

Well you can proc it on certain map of Spvp, namely forest of nifhel center node.

you can proc is in a lot of places actually, but this seems really only useful to zerker LB rangers IMO because condi survival needs to sit on node, and there’s no way to proc it on node

Yes, I knew about it. There is a trait in marksmanship that gave you a free sharpened edges that does the same thing. I thought that was one of the most powerful traits you could get for a condi ranger but sadly it will be removed.

Keen Edge was 5 bleeds with a kitten ICD. That averages to 1 bleed every 9 seconds.

It’s only other feature was that it could proc SotF … but it wasn’t very controllable so it wasn’t that great in my opinion.

It also had issues if your build also took Sharpening Stone since that would affect its ICD. Not a huge deal, but did make it “worse” than it would have been without that interaction.

I’ve used sharpening stone and keen edge together they have never interfeared with eachother and worked on their own the only mistake you can make is overwriting keen edge by manually using sharpening stone at the same time as it procs.

Big difference between applying 1 bleed every 9s and 5 bleeds rapidly. It provided the build with a somewhat controllable fury buff (which can be used to proc more bleeds), 2 condi cleanse, and 5 more bleeds. I could easily drop 25 bleeds on an opponent in a matter of seconds and with ~1700 condi dmg it would tick for over 3000 (not to mention the amount of condi cover ranger has which defends against cleansing). What I’m getting at is that it provided a condi ranger with an exceptional amount of burst for practically no investment.

Edit: When I say no investment, I mean that most decent ranger builds are required to use these trait lines already or else fail (which has been a plague of ranger since beta).
