Guild Wars 2

Martial Mastery, which reduces the cooldown of the Ranger’s melee weapons by 20%, was and is a Wilderness Survival Master tier Major trait. This was perfectly acceptable when all three weapons actually had innate condition damage on one of their skills. Now that the GS has been reworked to apply vulnerability instead of bleeding, however, the placement of this trait stands out as remarkably poor . One of the three weapons does not benefit from the malice bonus of the trait line at all, while the other two have underwhelming-at-best benefits from condition damage.

Basically, consider moving this trait somewhere less un-synergetic with the weapons it benefits. Literally any other line would be a better choice than this one.

If the devs can merge Two Handed Training with Martial Mastery and move it to Skirmishing, replacing Quick Draw which is merged with Piercing Arrows, it would be truly great.

Won’t ever happen though.

Yep I was thinking the same OP… often when I am trying to somehow make that martial mastery work in a build.

Quick fix imo would be to just switch it with two handed mastery, since its a lot less important to a 2h build its better for someone branching out. Martial mastery is really a core skill for using a 2H sword.

Swap strength of spirit and two handed training with the trap traits?
