Guild Wars 2

Can you bring cat leaps into the normalized cooldown of the tiger? Tiger has 10 sec cd with fury, jungle stalker is might but with a long 3 second cast roar that does no damage instead of a leap and on a longer cooldown. Snow leopard does 2 seconds of pitiful chill on a whopping 30 sec cd.

I have to say: Thank you Irenio and Joel. This will be the joy of all the PvErs all around. Honestly this are good news

However forgive me if I’m a little bit salty because I hoped some more work on rangers archaic skills and some nonsensical nerfs.

In any case, even with all this salt we are secretly happy about that improvement.

I’m not even playing regularly these days but wanted to say thanks for that one… sheds a tear

Please allow me to send you my heartfelt thank you. I know this has just been a minor QoL issue, and this may sound absurd to many, but this issue has actually been the number one reason why I stopped playing my ranger alt. I will now certainly reactivate him.

Thank you so much!

Finally. I can take down the dozen sticky notes I use to keep track of my rangers’ pet names!

WOOHOO!

Irenio,

Glad to see you’re still in Anet Development; we haven’t seen a post from you in a very long time.

Thanks for the pet names saving ability.

Now can we also get something implemented that has also been un-addressed for years that needs attention: The Ability to KEY BIND Stowing/Activate our pets.

Some time ago you added the Ranger Pet Combat toggle that gives us the ability to key bind when our pets are set to passive/aggressive, which was extremely needed. Thank you! I use it all the time! But I don’t understand why you didn’t at the same time just add a – Ranger Pet Stow toggle as well.

It’s been about 4 years now, and it’s STILL a major pain in the rear to have to use the MOUSE and try to stow my pet in certain instances, i.e. – trying and keep my pet from taking unnecessary damage or getting me into combat, particularly while in WvW.

Are there any other classes that have a major class mechanism (or any mechanism at all) that has to have a Mouse Click as the only means of using it because there is no “key bind” option???

Please address this 4 year old problem. (Sadly, it’s been a bit of a handicap that I and other rangers have had to learn to live with.)

Thank you!

About time! Thank you!!!!!

Ty for this change as well as the cooldown reduction on the pets. Ive actually started using wolves in pve and PvP again. Its good to see them critting thieves for 8-10k again,

Took a little while..

But awesome

Makes me really really happy! Thank you.

Now do the signets, do the signets! Come on come on (claps hands).

Honestly, this should have 100x the priority of moving name retention to client side vs server side.

Sure, but at the same time, there’s no way I’m actually going to complain about this.

Thank you for the improvements!

Kind of cool, but a waste of time that could’ve been better spent on fixing pet AI.

FINALLY !

Thanks ANet

sshhht! You will scare the devs. They are doing something finally. Let them do the signets and utilities, weapon skills, trait lines, and maybe pet combat movements and then scare them.

What you call “good patch” is just a huge insult to me, but the dev team changed and they are trying to clean the mess from the previous mistakes. I hope they are faster, if we go like this it will take years to fix other problems.

Great, now next can we have the longbow fixed? I really dont like how half the attacks get blocked or some other kind of not hitting effect. For example in WVW the veteran boss is often just cannot be hit with the longbow.

This is amazing!
However, you also broke Celestial Avatar in patch.. please fix. It drops randomly with plenty of bar left.. There’s another post about it that’s not getting a lot of attention. :/
Thanks!

A big thumbs up for the pet name fix
