Natural Healing...
Well Natural healing is always in effect, not to mention eles only works while in water Attunement, something you won’t be sitting in a long time unless you absolutely need to. Then there’s also the fact that we have more access to passive regen than they do, and the main reason to take the trait is to heal your pet…
It’s hardly a worthless trait.
PS: the heal scales really well based on healing power (for a passive heal) however the regen on your pet scales off YOUR healing power and the regen on you scales off YOUR PETS healing power (either 0 or 350)
They sing dark, delicious notes about power and family.

I agree that it feels lackluster for a GM trait, but as Durzlla kind of touched on, Rangers already have access to a fair bit of regen, so buffing this without over buffing it would be difficult.

If I remember right, the heal is also goofy as hell. It will heal for more if your pet is actively engaged (attacking) than if it is set to passive or heel.

Oh? I always thought this trait is unaffected by healing power. Do you know the healing power coefficients for the pet and player regen?

This is if you take Companions Healing or w/e the trait is that boosts their healing power to 350, because all the, “Pets get X boost” only applies while they’re in combat (which is stupid, but thats a whole other discussion)
EDIT: Compassion Training makes the heal go from 133 to 177 so the coefficient is roughly 12% of your pets healing power (since it’s either 350 or nothing) i’d ASSUME it’s the same for you, but that could be totally wrong
EDIT2: It appears YOUR healing power has no effect on the pets regen, which is very strange if you ask me…
NOTE: ALL of the testing was done in sPvP, this may be different in WvW or PvE.

It is a bleh trait too high up the trait tree. It should be a master major trait at best.
It’s a horrible GM trait and the fact that rangers already have access to a lot of regen doesn’t change that fact. Rangers are considered to have some of the worst sustain unless their entire build is focused on regen.
PS: Soothing Mist (ele – 5 point – water) also scales with healing power…

Does this work at all now? it’s been a while since I was that far into the BM line but it must have been bugged for months if I remember correctly.

It works. Heals for about 131-133ish base going up to 178-181ish with Compassion Training (requires the pet to be in combat for the extra heal boost, though.) It is every 3 seconds, and you may or may not see the heal numbers popping up for the pet.
I wish ANet would quit being lazy and give pet classes actual numbers in stats like condition damage, healing power, and critical damage. They could really open up some nice option by doing this.
Maybe porcine or bear pets have huge healing power and actually make taking Natural Healing worth it at the cost of having otherwise pooptastic pets? Maybe felines have higher critical damage than birds, but birds have higher condition damage? Of course they’d have to make Rending Attacks work for ALL pets, but I feel like that’s a no-brainer anyway.
