Why is there no Ranger Elite Trap skill? I’ve seen a few other profession with a type of skill that doesn’t have an elite and could easily replace the useless Mistfire Wolf slot.

Though I’m for an elite trap for rangers too, I’d rather say your point is invalid.

Mistfire Wolf isn’t ranger exclusive and there the wrong skill to exchange with.

€dit: Unless you want to give all professions one extra elite…
that would require to mae Mistfire Wolf a basic elite that isn’t actually purchased.

What I’m saying is that Mistfire Wolf is a skill that is probably locked for a lot of people and thus is useless. Atleast for me.. not being able to use it… it’s quite useless. So why not make a new elite skill for the skill-types that some professions don’t have yet? For an example.. the ranger trap!

EDIT: ‘’The skill is automatically available to level 31 characters for owners of the Digital Deluxe or Collector’s Edition of Guild Wars 2.’’

I believe I did buy the Digital Deluxe Edition. But this was perhaps two and a half year after first release of Guild Wars 2. The Mistfire Wolf skill never unlocked for me; and neither will it unlock for people who are buying Heart of Thorns now.

It can unlock if they buy the core upgrade for gems right?
And just becouse its useless to you dont mean other people dont use it for reasons mainly rp I think since I dont happen to have it myself.

Each profession has 2 elite skill types missing, aside from Engineer (who has only 1 missing) and Revenant. I remember hearing that they were planning to fill in the missing gaps with regards to elite skills and possibly healing skills too. I’m not sure if that was for real or not though.
Necro: Well/Signet
Guardian: Spirit Weapon/Consecration
Thief: Signet/Trap
Ranger: Trap (as stated)/Signet
Engineer: Gadget
Mesmer: Mantra/clone (phantasm)
Warrior: Stance/Shout
Elementalist: Arcane/Signet

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

Thank you for adding this!
I didn’t know them all out of my head; but it sure seems like alot of new things could be added!

No comment about the.mist fire wolf, but I would love to see an elite trap for Rangers. I absolutely loved my trapper builds in GW1.

Probably not going to happen. At this point I believe they’ve pretty much settled on the fact that all new skills going forward are going to be for Elite Specs, in order to make balancing easier by limiting the number of utilities which can be combined.

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it (though removing Mistfire Wolf would be bad even if it is “useless”) but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, seems as though the point for adding in the missing slots has come and gone. At one point they were planning to do this, but they seemed to have wasted those opportunities. Anti-Toxin spin heal or whatever it was called, such a waste.

entangle is the elite trap.
entangle and strength of the pack are both better than mistfire wolf regardless of your build. Well…except maybe if you are going for a petting zoo, then its probably better than the spirit, maybe.

The elite trap skill should be a trapper kit that replaces you’re weapon skills with 5 traps.

They can either roll the current traps into it so we have access to better utilities while running trapper, or they can create new ones.

Entangle is a survival skill, so not a trap. I hope Anet will someday give us some new elites, seeing as most of the rangers take RaO or Entangle. (Anyone that takes Nature Spirit?)

I sometimes took it for Raids when I knew my squad was bad.
A revive on 4 second cast time is still a revive.

the irony is strong in this one.

now seriously: does anybody use spirits anywhere else but raids?
until they are mobile again and got rid of all that confusing crap on their ICDs i dont think spirits have a place in this game.
