Guild Wars 2

Did they nerf this or is it broken? My pet seems to melt now even with it, where before it was at least somewhat usable in a zerg / group situation…

I mean looking at the wiki changes it seems like a nerf (longer interval and no more healing power).

The skill is mediocre in itself to begin with and need a remake.

It only grants around 120 hp/sec on pet, and does nothing else.
How could Anet nerf it to this degree and not giving the healing portion back to ranger?

The trait has granted the same amount of HPS since launch. Only the intervals changed.

On June 23, 2015, the trait was updated to grant healing power to your pet.

On August 8, 2017, the healing power bonus was removed from the trait.

Nice… Trait needs an update anyhow.

As a side note, removing the healing power component from Natural Healing was also a nerf to Invigorating Bond which uses the pet’s healing power, not the Rangers.
