Guild Wars 2

I was thinking on improving the condi bunker to give it even more survivability. New Natural Regen, Fern Hound, Blue Moa, Settler stats.

with +450 healing power, the dog’s regen will be almost identical to yours, and the instant heal goes up to 1450. It’s F2 goes down to 20s from BM.

Moa’s Prot will go up to 6s with Lingering Magic, and its semi-reliable aoe heal (which triggers when you or allies get low-ish) would heal for 3x 1500 roughly with +450 HP. so that’s about 4500. CD would go down to 36s.

not to mention these pets would get added benefit for being extra tanky with Natural Regen, and taunting with BW. the additional healing power would also play into Allies’ Aid. id use these pets with 0/0/6/6/6, TU/LR/SoR/SoW/Entangle, s/t + a/d; so damage would still be very good. but im sure we could also roll with SoN or other spirits =) thoughts?

Don’t forget, the additional Healing Power also upgrades how much the pets heal you for when you use lick wounds while down. A small change, to be sure, but I’m certain it could mean the difference between a win and a loss in some situations.

On top of this, pets will actually have decent damage due to the overall +450 power and precision they’re getting. The +450 vitality and toughness are less important, but not by much, since you can now reliably let a pet tank bosses for you in all but the most difficult situations and PvP.

Only problem I see is that Invigorating Bond is still balls. 20 second ICD for such a low heal is terrible. if they either lowered the cooldown or increased the heal, it’d be useful, but as it stands now it’s pretty terrible.

On another note, this build should take Wilderness Survival (though, that’s kind of a given now). Wilderness Knowledge with Troll Unguent will keep you and your pet alive much longer and can clear conditions on you, and bark skin will make you and your pet even tougher to kill.

Invigorating bounds need no ICD because 20 sec for a that bad heal amount is really bad. Also, you need that pet to be near you… Even with an ealge spamming his f2 every 6 sec it would not be that OP because of the range limitation. What could make it OP however is the BM synergie on f2 activation. Weakness + heal + blind… Maybe it could force enemies to focus the bird? Haha.

i was simply saying that Moa and Fern hound would be really useful with the buffs to their healing power and our survivability. i like Sol’s suggestion for IB, simply make it synergize with Resounding Timbre.
