Guild Wars 2

Nothing learned, nothing gained. That’s all I’ll say. Looks to me like Soulbeast will be severely lacking in actual sustain mechanics. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Soulbeast seems to grant random boons when merging rather than a transformation and skill bar changes? Regardless, have your learned nothing from warrior? Eleven seconds (+ signet of stone) of 100% power damage mitigation is ludicrous. Terrible, terrible, terrible change. I main ranger and I hate it.

Context: I pvp.

3s on a 60s cooldown would have been far more appropriate, if we must go the lesser signet of stone route, or even on a 90s cooldown.

Wait for Soulbeast with MS line double SoS, with double bears / Defy Pain, ("aaabsolutely teeerrible ") Dead or Alive GM trait and stances.

Thought the cooldowns and durations are a bit odd.

PvE: 70s/5s – PvP: 70s/2½s.

I’d much prefer a small duration drop and a lower cooldown like 60s/4s PvE and 60s/2s PvP. Didn’t look at WvW numbers so I’m not sure which one it shares.
