Guild Wars 2

Many have said it before, so I’ll just recap: the issue with “Sic Em” is that it functions too much like a signet. yes, reveal, I know. But it should also buff allies in some meaningful way. For example, maybe it should also grant allies might stacks and fury.

The same goes for “Protect Me”. The pet health buff wasn’t enough for it to be worthwhile, really. The pet cooldown timer on swap and typical low pet health really negates it’s usefulness, although the stun break is sort of okay. The issue is that the way people chain stuns, one stun break doesn’t make a huge difference if you don’t have some other kind of escape handy. Realistically, “Protect Me” should grant aoe stability, regeneration, protection, and vigor for the ranger, pet and allies.

Changes like these would make shouts a lot more interesting.

This is a problem with the whole class though. This class just doesn’t offer much group support or utility. It has been complained about for months. This is why the class gets [censored] on so much in WvW and GvG threads.

While group buffs on shouts would be a welcome change, they need to do this in many other areas too.

That’s it Chopps! Keep fighting the good fight!

I’ll crawl back under my rock and check out the rangers buffs when the next ‘major’ balance patch comes out :P

If we’re gonna talk about shouts, let’s talk about GUARD.

It’s the only “shout” in the game that activates like a long spirit summon.
Atleast our stupid signets activate instantly… (like shouts)

I’d ask Josh this question directly but I already used up my monthly allotted request to him for an answer on our Sword Chain problem/bug
