Guild Wars 2

This should scale with our healing power. Then it would be useful.

It should also be used at the beginning of the f2 cast like taunt currently is. It would make it alot more viable and on demand than it currently is.

Or, if pets had a healing power stat by default.

I reckon just get rid of it and make it something like; “Whenever your pet gains a boon, nearby allies gain that boon for half duration” or something that would solve our group play issues, a bit more healing or condi removal will not do that, boon share will.

The Trait itself is soo good man, If this scales up with our healing power lets say just with 500 Healing power.

It heals 3000 hp every 20 seconds now use the Fern hound this heals for 4500k AoE every 20 seconds, + 10 seconds of Regen. Sweet right?

Run it with MoA, you get 2 Aoe Heals.. + healing spring, I would say a support ranger for pvp will now be viable.

Just make it a shout and give it larger radius, biggest reason it sucks due to radius no control over pet movement so half the time it goes out of range or requires you to cast right after pet swap.

Wouldn’t mind if it had a 600 radius and granted all nearby allies Resistance.

If it were shout radius and triggered Resounding Timbre, it would be good

Seriously though, I don’t think we need more healing and parties don’t either, I would think boon support would be better than another heal.

I think we need more group support. And why no more healing? Spirit is whack, HS is now meh. I think IB would be good!

Sadly, IB is shout radius. Well, technically, IB’s radius is 60 units smaller, but the pathetic 360 unit radius of Resounding Timbre is functionally just as useless. There are no good reasons why RT doesn’t apply in a 600 radius anyway. This kitten needs to be fixed.

With PVP in mind, I’m all for the small tweaks needed to make this trait work. A viable secondary ( i.e. non heal skill) source of aoe burst healing is currently a big hole in rangers’ supportive kitten nal.

@blitzkrieg, good suggestion!

A heal every 20s is hardly decent party support, imo. Since Nature Magic deals with boons anyway, I was thinking that having the pet give boons is essentially giving out any boon the Ranger gets via Fortifying Bond, albeit with halved durations (because Lingering Magic would make them too long. So, you would end up with -25% duration). That would be a huge buff to party support because the Ranger becomes a mirror for the entire parties boons, assuming the pet is alive, which is also a counter to it for PvP.
