Guild Wars 2

25% run speed if weilding a bow

Would be nice. I still use signet of the hunt :/

I would really like this, or a Trait that made the passive effect of signets continue after activation

We’re so tight for traits already because of our kitten poor Utility+Trait combo design.

This is a great idea but it just adds to the already overwhelming trait dependence we are plagued with.

True. It’s just a fun idea I had after reading through warrior traits. Every ranger likes speed. I also think it helps round out longbow. I’m not sure if hunter’s shot stealth is enough ‘passive defense’.

Haha I was messing with a Warrior again recently and thought how nice that trait would be on my Ranger too

Ya traits are tight. That’s definately a big issue with this idea. Unless you want to make peircing arrows a minor ttait or something. Ha eagle eye minor trait? Haha I’m not sure. It’s cool to think about though.

Not going to lie: I’d love a trait like this for a longbow build—maybe combine this with eagle eye? Gives a shortbow user a reason to take eagle eye over peircing.

Well with the teased at ‘new unlockable skills and traits.’ coming this year, who knows what will happen.

I wish I had a test server to try crazy ideas like this

Yeah this needs to end lol, everytime i play another prof i always look through all their trait lines and try to figure out how i’m going to buff a utility type as much as possible and use only that utility type… you know… like we need to…

That and i always hit F1 when i engage a fight lol…

@OP, i’d like it, i’d use it A LOT too…

id love this and we should have access to eagle eye from the get go, its basically your not a master of long range combat until your level 40

What if this was combined with piercing arrows or 20% bow cool-down? Now that would be awesome!

QUICK-draw…. makes sense

that would make more sence to have this buff for melee weapons..

Then it would be exactly lile the warrior trait I stole the idea from. Haha

But to address your comment, let me ask you: Have you ever played longbow/power ranger via either signet or remoresless/valkryie type builds? You want condition clear signet, a trap, and lightning reflexes—maybe signet of wild instead of signet of renewal, if you think you can handle the conditions.

But without run speed, you’re toast. Longbow ranger is dead once the gap is closed, even with the new hunter’s shot. So you begrudgingly take signet of the hunt like you do in most ranger builds.

That was my logic at least, you might disagree and that’s fine. Just wanted to explain where I was coming from.

We have an entire Skirmishing Traitline the does absolutely nothing for power builds besides the precision/crit damage and the 10% damage while flanking tree.

I say, go ahead, reworks ahoy.

than what would signet of the hunt do? i use it all the time but if this trait would come i’d probably go with signet of renewal instead. i never actually activate signet of the hunt, i only use it for its passive. elementalists have a +25% movement speed stunbreaker signet :/

Elementalists and Thieves have the same trait and signet combo.
