Guild Wars 2

Been a while. How are things in GW2 these days? There have been a lot of changes in my life since my last post, mostly positive. I hope you all are doing great as well. I see a lot of new names in this sub-forum so I hope to get to know them better. I can’t say how active I’ll be (definitely much less than previously) but I’ll still try to post/reply to any threads or messages asap.
So once more, good to see you again to the older folk and nice to meet you new guys.

Errr…ok. So who are you?

To you? I’m no one to you at this moment nor should I be. Future interactions may change that, they may not. Either way it’s nice to meet you.

Pretty much slightly better, but pets are still mostly crap.

I play a lot on my other toons now. Recently made an ele and engi so… yeah. I’ll be spending even LESS time on my Ranger than I already am. Those elemental weapons are sweet.

Judging by your posts, you’ve been away since Oct 15 patch (my god I’m being stalky).

Hmmm… So you missed Nov 26 and Dec 10 patches.

Nov 26
- Underwater spirits nerfed (reduced hp)
- Lots of tooltip/skillfact fixes

Dec 10
Useless/trivial trait tweaks (Don’t even bother with them)
Predator’s Instinct
Beastmaster’s Bond
Enlargement
Oakheart Salve

Buffs
- Longbow autoattack dmg (less penalty when attacking from shorter ranges)
- Moment of clarity (increased stun/daze/fear duration to 100%)
- Bark Skin (50% dmg reduction, empathic bond is still better)
- Strength of Spirit (conversion from vitality to power is 7% now)
- Spirit Unbound and Nature’s Vengeance switched places in the traitlines (only require 20pts for spirit to move now)
- Two-handed training (50% chance to gain 3s fury on hit, 10s cooldown)
- Mighty Swap (3 stacks of might applies to both pets and player now)

Nerfs
- Natural Vigor (50% endurance regen reduced to 25%)
- Sun Spirit (3s burn reduced to 2s)
- Storm Spirit (active lightning damage reduced by 33%)

YOU MISSED OUT THE BUG WHERE EAGLE EYE TRAIT GRANTED PERMA FURY TO LONGBOW RANGERS THAT MADE THEM VIABLE – fixed/nerfed (very quickly)

Yeah it seems like they’re still fixated on silly band-aid fixes instead of admitting to themselves they need to seriously reconsider their design philosophy for the class (or lack-there-of).

PS. I like the way you do things.
