Anyone else think Resounding Timbre could use the Experimental Turrets or Nature’s Vengeance treatment in terms of each shout granting a different boon when traited for? Swiftness and Regeneration on every shout seems rather lackluster, especially when Rangers seem to be the King of Regeneration already.

Perhaps mix things up a bit while keeping the Swiftness support in there? This is a what I thought of when I state this. What are your thoughts?

With boon duration that protection uptime would be pretty darn high, not that I’m complaining…

I kind of think guard and protect me should have their boons switched.

Yeah, just tossed numbers around, but the idea is there. This would be a hindrance to the perma-regen shout builds, but in trade, a bit more diversity and group utility when traited?

Edit: Again, thoughts in general of having each shout obtain a Swiftness + a different boon.

I like the idea. Keeping up Perma regen is so easy and passive. I’m all for more active play and better group support.

I actually think having swiftness plus a boon designated for each shout is a bit… I dunno. I’m thinking I’d like to see it be three random boons for kitten duration on any shout use.

I kind of like this idea. though ideally the shouts would be reworked slightly to encourage there use in the first place. But a trait like this would definitely go a long way towards helping out in certain situations. Stab on search & rescue is a kittening must before I take it. either for me or my pet.

Quickness on strength of the pack synergises very well thanks to the nature of the skill and with its lower duration would help to get us back some of the overall might stacks we can no longer generate.

I agree that aegis should be on guard and protection on protect me. Either that or vigor for protect me. Its already possible to get very high protection uptime.

Giving each shout a more specialized role woudl encourage using them in the correct situations. Hell…it would encourage using them. Very few builds use full shouts after all.

I’d still never slot it but it would be awesome to grant stability to everyone when you used the traited search and rescue.

I’d be up for this, but as i’ve said multiple times, Protect Me! should give retal since it’d double dip (when you and your pet have retal and you’ve got protect me they take double retal damage for hitting you).
