Guild Wars 2

Title says it all, when not in combat pet swap is on a 1 sec cooldown, so get a red moa and a fern hound, cast, swap, cast, swap again – rinse and repeat.

This is likely an unintended consequence so may not be around for long, but maybe it’s intended?

Either way this is probably most useful for bunkers who just sit on points with a lot of time in between engagements – blue moa protection can be stacked too, but takes a very long time, so probably not worth it.

their skill have cooldown when u swap in,no longer the auto reset when swap in like old version

it only appears to be on cooldown, pressing f2 will still cause them to cast the skill

this is unbelievably amazing

It’s sad that this kinda confirms that they don’t even pay attention to this forum, anymore. There were several big posts talking about how the cooldowns still reset on pet-swap when they tried to fix them in last month’s patch. They somehow thought they took care of it last month, by the looks of it.

I was able to get fury up to 2m and regen up to 1 min, but that seems to be the max, so it doesn’t seem to be infinite. Even still, having both of those for the first roughly 1-2 mins of a fight would be great. Granted, I’d want to swap out the moa before combat began.

you are aware this is what it used to be out of combat, and the boons stack up to 25 applications if they dont start timing out, the bet boons being as they dont last long you will not reach that mark you will time out of boons before you reach the max extended point that u can have for boons

thanks for the info,didn’t know that haha

Yea, not sure why they added this back in.

Most likely they forgot why they changed it in the first place.

I really wouldn’t make it known on the forums that you have exploited a bug…
Keep it to yourselves if you have done it or risk getting banned :/

The people that should be banned are those responsible for making an uncomplete / messy Ranger profession!

How do you know it’s a bug? Rangers have been crying out for a buff for a long time, maybe this is a step in that direction. I’d like to hear an official response from Arenanet on this.

Never fully tested it, so apparently not infinite buffs huh? 2 minutes is still nice though! i presume you could use the cat (jungle stalker?) to get 25 stacks of might too – might be better than fury for most bunkers, though wouldn’t last as long.

I think it’s an oversight. You can do the same with sianoth and the pig. Tried woih jungle stalker and was able to get 10 stacks.

Also, to the ppl that say we should keep for ourselves: without testing there is no fixing, you can’t punish your testers.

Even with permanent Fury or whatever boon you give me i wouldn’t play this kitten class.
But they’ll nerf/destroy/remove it anyway because lol class balance.

Agree, let’s count how long it will take to fix it.

They’ll fix it ASAP, but that’ll be it, no other real fixes shall be made!
