Guild Wars 2

Since they are bringing some of the GW1 ranger skills (in name only) to GW2…what are some of the ones the community would like to see?

For me:

Frozen Soil – Creatures in range cannot activate resurrection skills. Does not affect spirits.
Favorable Winds – Arrows move twice as fast and hit for +6 damage for creatures in range. Does not affect spirits.

Preparations such as:

Apply Poison – Your physical attacks inflict Poisoned condition (3…13…15 seconds).

I personally think if they would incorporate some of these into the game (fully, not like what Read the Wind will be) Rangers could be a pretty potent force.

There were many great things from the GW1 ranger, specifically stances and preparations which didn’t make it into GW2.

Preperation we can all agree on that Thieves got that instead of us. Stances Warrior got that instead of us. Interrupts Mesmers got that instead of us. So I don’t really know what else we can get from GW1 Ranger that could be pass on to GW2 Rangers besides spirits…. ack!

Mesmers and warriors had those in Gw1 as well, just a different flavor.

Well , (drops a stack of paper on the forum floor )…..

In all seriousness,

Enraged Lunge :

Elite Pet Attack. Inflicts Deep Wound condition (5…17…20 seconds) and deals +X amount damage. ( To be adjusted to GW2 since i think Deep Wound is not here anymore )

Cooldown 5 seconds

Incendiary Arrows :

Elite Bow Attack. Hits 2 foes near your target and inflicts burning (1…3…3 second[s]).

Cooldown 5 seconds

Prepaired Stance :

Elite Stance. (20…32…35 seconds.) Your preparations recharge 50% faster and last 30…126…150% longer. ( You know when we get Preperations back )

Companionship :

Skill. Heals you for X amount ( amount modded to GW2 standerds ) if you have less Health than your pet. Heals your pet for X amount if it has less Health than you.

Because its just better then Heal as one.

And yes I do find the current selection of Elite skills for the Ranger HORRID.

(Takes stack of paper , and walks away )

Smoke Trap.

This could be an awesome elite, especially if it worked as a smoke combo field.

Frozen Soil and umm a similar Necro skill was awesome help in GW1.
In WWW, this would ROCK. Even if its just “Not able to Rally within 1000 radious”.
Meanwhile we insta-die in the zerg
For Bunker supporters (Druidddssss) it would be ok.

Preparations should definitely make a return, and not as traits. Personally, I want Glass Arrows and Enraged Lunge back. Similarly, Deep Wound could make a return as the “elite” condition.

Distracting Shot

We should definitely get an Elite on bow from GW1
