Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if there is a bug or not, and Lick Wounds has always been hit or miss, but recently I have noticed that my downed skill 2 is also working only about 10% of the time. I can have a the character targeted, they have no boon that should stop a stun, no aegis and still it does absolutely nothing almost every time. Anyone else experience this as of late?

Not sure about skill 2, but definitely yes with lick wounds. It didn’t work sometimes before the update, but not nearly as often.

I did notice that at times my #2 didn’t seem to do anything whilst at other times it interrupts the target that’s trying to stomp you.

I love the #4 while I am underwater though (provided you get enough time to actually use it).

I’m not a Ranger; I AM AQUAMAN!

I noticed that too, sometimes when I’m surrounded by a couple of enemies, and I want to interrupt the one who is about to stomp me, nothing happens, or the stun goes to my previous target :/

And yes, I love lick wounds, even if it works 50% on the time lol

Today I got to experience the new lick wounds for the first time since it was updated.

While doing my usual circuit of southsun cove, I managed to get caught by a veteran karka. I went down, but was up in less than 3 seconds after hitting lick wounds. It’s massively overpowered now…It’s almost like getting revived by another player.

ability 2 works fine but if the target got stability it will only do dmg but not interrupt

and yes lick wounds does not work half of the time

sigh I hate when people type without thinking. Ok first of all, yes when it works its very strong but the only time its OP is underwater, we are almost unkillable. On land, when it works, its very very strong, but not even close to op, CC pet and down, problem solved, now you cant dps a ranger when they are downed, we are in the same league as warriors except they can get up and beat on you. Second, its not as strong as getting rezed by a player, they heal for about 1800-1900 per tick, pet heals for about 900-950 per tick at about 18.5k hp. I knew as soon as rangers got some new shiny things people would use the word overpowered with them.

Lick wounds even if it worked 100% of the time wouldnt be op, or gamebreaking, even when rangers use lick wounds on me and it works I still stomp them because I stun pet and down them, use your brains, overpowered means that its so rediculously strong that no other class can compete with it unless they are OP as well, nothing about ranger screams that atm.

My pet heals me for over 1200 HP per tick. The majority of players heal for just a hair above 1400. You don’t start seeing 1800-2k until you start stacking healing power, and most people don’t…unless they’re guardians or banner warriors.

Also, nowhere in my post did I mention pvp. No a ranger isn’t going to avoid getting stomped in pvp any more than that warrior or thief will. I was talking purely about pve, and yes, lick wounds is overpowered in pve.

Perhaps you should take your own advice and think before you post.

If your pet gets downed I believe Lick Wounds stops activation when on land; this concept applies in PvE as well. Rangers already have enough of a problem in high level areas from what I understand. (I do not PvE extensively, so please correct me if this has changed)

Lick wounds revives your pet upon activation. More often than not, if lick wounds doesn’t outright revive me, my pet will stay up long enough for lick wounds to completely recharge.

Any damage stops the channel. Only time I’ve ever found lick wounds to be useful was when underwater and when fighting risen as in both situations the mobs tend to stick on my and not my pet.

And as said above, when you compare this ability to other class abilities it’s still pretty awful.

This is not true. The channel will only stop if your pet is knocked down, launched, pushed back, pulled, or downed.

Seems like it works perfect underwater and it is pure crap on land

and yes dmg does not stop it unless the pet is downed/interrupted or atleast it worked this way before the patch that screwed it even more

Lick wounds just needs to work when activated that is all no increasing or decreasing the healing just heal me when I tell you lol.

I’ve never seen the pet disabled in any fashion while in WvW and it stops immediately when attacked. Same in PvE. Only ever works when the pet isn’t being targeted, which means it’s only useful against Risen.

Now if it’s not supposed to work this way, that’s one thing. But it certainly looks to be behaving this way.
