Guild Wars 2

I have a couple of fantastic ideas for 2 of the elites:

• Strength of the pack (although this idea is not mine)
• Glyph of Unity.

Strength of the pack
This elite change to call one pet ally of the same type as the pet equipped. This ally pet stays for 30 seconds or until killed.
Actual abilities goes to other shout: Rampage as One and reduce it’s cooldown to 40 seconds base.

Glyph of Unity
Glyph of unity change it’s mechanics, now instead unify foes and allies, unify the druid and his pet.

• Druid transform to a pet the same type as equipped. It works as a combat tonic, the new appearance has the abilities from the original pet.
• Tag in PvP/WvW change to identify the transformed druid as a pet to confuse enemies.
• Original pet stays, so now there are two pets instead a druid and it’s pet.
• Druid use the weapon skills from the pet but has access to all the utility skills.
• Damage from the pet skills are with the stats from the actual pet. This way you can have a healing druid setup and transform to a tiger if you need the burst.
• This transformation is for 5 minutes or until the druid ends it casting again the glyph of unity.
• cooldown increased to 60 seconds.
• if Druid transforms to Astral Form the glyph is canceled.

The idea behind this change is to allow the druid to camouflage with his pet so is more difficult for the enemies to target the druid. Also to have access to play with some cool skills from the pets.
Anet could use the data from he transformed pets to increase the AI for this entities studying how the players behave in different situations.

What do you think? It should not be difficult to implement at all, is just to give the druid one tonic as an skill. And i think it would be much more useful than the actual elite.

The glyph idea has nothing in common with the Glyph mechanics.

I’m against it.
We already have an Astral Form. Having another utility that would completely destroy any game-play you had up till that point with completely different whatever it is proposed with so many years of balancing and having nothing in common with GW2 Druidism …
I don’t like the Transformation idea. I didn’t like any up till now. If you want to be able to transform – use a Norn.
