Guild Wars 2

Okay, I wanted to make a post in the bug topic, but I really don’t know if I’m insane or if I’m really seeing this right.

First, Master’s Bond gives me 8 stats per stack, I am sure I read that this is supposed to be 6, and I am not sure if there is anything else counting into the amount of stats I get per kill.

I understand the bug with it not showing how many stacks/max stacks is already known, but my last issues is:

This doesn’t transfer to your swapped pet, you lose all stacks. Is this intentional? You don’t have any previous stacks you left off with when you swap back either. Is it meant to wipe all stacks when swapping to any pet?

Last I calc’d it was 6 for a total of 150 stats for your pet only.
You can check how many stacks you have currently by clicking your pet manually and you’ll see the affect under his healthbar.

And losing all stacks literally happens on anything lol.
It’s intended but will be hopefully changed

Here is a side-by-side of my pets stats with no stacks, compared to 1 stack.

Cool then they buffed it. It was originally 10 at release.
Hard to tell what goes on these days with the ninja patch notes.

It would be nice, I can tell they encourage pet-swapping in combat, and it’s very viable no matter what trait tree you maxed out, so it seems unfair to make us commit to stacking 1 pets stats unless it’s intentional to keep any balance (as this is a VERY powerful trait that you only need 10 points for)

In all honesty, this trait at 10 stacks was -to- powerful, however now that it’s 8…. i feel like it’ll be strong enough to really be worth holding onto your pet, yet be weak enough to not make your pet into an OP killing machine at 5 stacks… god i remember back when my pet was still broken (IE unresponsive because i didn’t have enough badges to control him) in BWE2 and he was running around hitting for 4k (pig) or my cat was critting for 10k with 10 stacks of might and 5 masters bond…. ah…. god help the poor kittens once he got to 20 stacks….
