Guild Wars 2

Please Change it to:

• Apply 2.5 seconds of Cripple on a Critical Hit ICD 10 Seconds (You and your pet, separate ICDs)

Otherwise it is such a useless trait.

Having this change will help kiting immensely.

Thanks!

5 seconds of Cripple with the ICD reduced to 15 seconds would be fine. What would make it not tremendously garbage is an added interval for each target it would proc on like the Mesmer trait [Ineptitude].

That doesn’t just apply to Predator’s Instinct, however, as many traits on all professions need to have an interval and match Ineptitude. Not all, but many.

This sounds great bu the problem here is the threshold. Cripple is a very very weak effect on a trait that only procs 50% of the time.

PS: Have you seen Heim anywhere?

The threshold isn’t such a huge deal at all. If you want to rid of the threshold, propose a tie to something other than giving a free cripple on hit every 10 seconds. Or bring back the trait where pet [F2] commands apply cripple and add it onto Predator’s Instinct.

Either way, the cripple is there as a thematic component of the Marksmanship traitline. Weak or not, it’s to snare opponents. Also, Heim is playing HoT. He’s been posting in the HoT subforum recently, mostly about the rarity of Freshwater Pearls.
