Rampage as one
I’ve not encountered this problem. Are you trying to activate it while these things are coming at you? You need stability active first before it’ll work and make you immune to things.
Part of the reason I’m careful about running RaO as much these days. The devs are really pushing boon hate and rangers have no part in it. These long duration valuable boons are prime targets to such a mechanic.
Mesmer and necro can strip Stability.
Also, RaO has a cast time that can be interrupted by CC.
RaO’s only nonstrippable buff is the might on attack for you and pet. It’s partly why RaO is not much used in tournaments while it sees some use in WvW roaming, because against organized teams your stability will get removed and you’ll have a weak elite slot left.
I thought i had a thief steal all 3 boons from RaO but i might be wrong, not like it mattered really anyways its mostly nice for me cus it will give my pet might stacks which do decent dmg anyways. I haven’t really had the problem mentioned in the first post, but i mostly wvw.

It does seem a little sad that all the rangers elites are so “hit and miss”.
I mean I love entangle and it can work great, but we all know there are times when you use it and your opponent walks straight out instantly, or just flat out dodges it to start with.
RaO gets boon stripped and whatever that spirit one is called is very easily killed and as such hardly ever used.
Gunnar’s Hold
Spirit is easily used for roaming/duels. Its cooldown, however, is really really long for its benefit imo.
It’s like a crappy elite warrior banner with a 2 sec activation rez (which is actually longer because you need to cast the spirit summon as well) with a fairly short range and a 400ish tick heal.
But it’s the best we’ve got imo in terms of elite for roaming/skirmishes. Entangle does nothing in team fights with the amount of cleave there is, and RaO is a pretty selfish elite with only modest benefits.
if you have the trait that lets your pet have the boons you have would that double the boons on your pet from RaO?
Also there’s the trait that gives your pet might when you crit and sword auto attack gives might to your pet… I wish I could see how much might my pet would get. Add the shout sick’m for 40% more dmg and speed+maybe quickening Zephyr for quickness on pet too?
Anyone tried it before?
