Guild Wars 2

Rampage is a great elite for rangers, because both you and your pet grant might to each other when you attack and also it gives 20 secs of stability, which is great in many situations, but realistically, rangers have little to no stability unless traited for it, in which case they give up other more valuable trait points for investing into Signet of the Beastmaster. But is it worth it to use Signet of Stone with the active effect + “Protect me” for a 12 sec endure pain, or using Signet of the Wild to gain stability?
Rangers only have 4 stun breakers and usually only 1 stability skill, that being Rampage as One (though ranger elites are probably better than some other classes’ elites.)
With that being said, would you all agree that the trait Shared Anguish should be on a 60sec CD instead of 90? or what do you all think?

60 seconds sounds fair, while it is an adept trait, it requires our pet to be alive and unlike last stand (warrior trait) it doesn’t give us stability.

any1 use Hide in Plain Sight + Shared Anguish?

Depends what you’re doing. In pve i find protect me to be kinda useless, because the pet is going to be in low-ish health many many times. You need to swich pets and throw some heals from time to time to keep ’em alive.

WvW, i tend to solo/small group roam most of the time, and i use signet of stone, Quick, z. and signet of hunt. The 25% speed is awesome, and the attack of oportunity (150% boost) on next him, makes long range shot going for 6k in some situations. (I run in full berserker glass cannon build)

I swap to “protect me” only when fighting backstab thieves. I don’t think it’s needed against other classes.

I used to try that early on, but it usually just meant I died hidden. Maybe I could swoop away in that window, maybe.

Yup, let’s increase reliance on auto-proccing traits and not focus on lackluster utilities or improving traits that really need it.
