Guild Wars 2

Just starting to try out the changes, first things I noticed was the shouts.

The cd reduction on Guard in combination with Shout Master allows for almost permanent uptime of protection from this skill alone – 10 seconds of protection out of 12 with the reduced cd. In combination with the ai fixes and improved pet stats, this could hopefully mean a decent buff to survivability.

CD on Sic’em is nice!

The Ai fixes in pve are interesting. Now pets could use flanking strikes…

Will try out more things, and will post here if I find anything else I find to be a good improvement.

There is more:
Signet of Stone offers my pet and me 180 toughness. I think before todays patch the ranger got a really small amount of toughness.

Yeah it got doubled, the passive toughness buff was stupidly low prior to the patch.

Is this confirmed?

I thought it would be 70 for the player (35 X 2) and 240 for the pet (120 X 2). That’s based on wiki numbers.

Yep. The shouts are actually pretty nice right now. I haven’t tried the trait that lowers the cool down but anything that lets me katassasinate more often is WIN WIN in my book.

The wiki says 180, but I haven’t opened the game yet. Did it used to be 90? I thought it was less but I could easily be mistaken.

I just checked in game by adding/removing SoS skill, it’s 180 for sure.
