Guild Wars 2

Hello my fellow rangers.

I would really like to see ANet buffing our shouts.

We already “know” the changes to “Sick ’Em”, so I’ll leave this untouched.

Protect Me
I really like the idea behind this skill, but unfortunately it’s kinda useless if your enemy has CC. That’s my suggestion: Give the ranger and the pet stability for 5 seconds. The pet could still die, but at least nobody is going to interrupt it while being on duty.

Search and Rescue
Your pet resses and you have to fight the enemy alone, that’s not what I want when helping my allies out. It would be nice if the pet would just send out an encouraging shout, healing up to 2 or 3 allies in the area. As I know (I didn’t play every class long enough how it works there, please correct me if I’m wrong), nobody has to lose dmg-output to revive allies (just the slot^^)

Guard
Let the ranger benefit from this, like – if your pet breaks the stealth, you gain protection for 4 seconds, your next attack also inflicts 3 stacks of bleeding.

What do you think about that?

Shirk over and out.

Protect me is a stun breaker but ya, 5 s stability would just be amazing. I like the S&R idea. I don’t know if changes are guard are necessary but the other two? Very cool ideas +1

Actually what’s going to happen to “sick ’em” worries me.

The most effective build to use “sick ’em” definitely is the “shout Build” and as ranger we use it to burst our DPS in a short period of time(10S). And you use it whenever the cool down finishes.

If “sick ’em” becomes a strategy skill that can reveal invisible then you have to use it at certain point of the fight, which in the other hand you lose DPS as the skill use to be.

I’d rather they have the change to Guard or Search and Rescue.

The important thing is if “Sick ’Em” reveals stealth when activated, or if it reveals stealth while being active, because if you wold pop it, the enemy goes invisible after 2 seconds and your pet still scents the enemy, it wouldn’t be a problem for me. But if it only works after the enemy used stealth, I wouldn’t be that happy^^

It will be an instant applied to an unstealthed target here’s why: J Sharp said pet “picks up scent” to reveal, that’s an instant (unless they add a cast time to the shout which would really tick me off). He never said on pet attack and he never said AoE. It’s a 4s reveal on a single target. The skill will not activate if enemy goes into stealth because you need a target selected to use Sick Em in the first place.

sounds logical.

That means if you put your pet up to a thiefs butt and he instantly goes stealth you have a 4 seconds window, right?

It means you cast sick em and the theif cannot stealth for 4s. You have to anticipate thief stealth to use it properly because you don’t want to waste those 4s.

ranger shouts are bad. Anet can buff them to hell, but they will be bad. we need to trait signets to make effect on us (loool) and we trait or not shouts thats not affect anybody. waste of slot… loooooooool! now they want sick em to reveal stealth on a single target in every 40 secs megalol!
they need seriously rethink ranger

Well ranger shouts have never effected anyone but the pet even back in gw1 rangers shout only served to buff the pet.
