Guild Wars 2

Something I stumbled across when playing with the new update. I run a regen build and with the +20% regen duration from dwayna runes and the +33% duration from traits equals to 53% longer duration. Stack this with the new grandmaster trait Natures Voice for 18 second regen and 10 second quickness, lower shout cooldown 20%, with ’’Guard’’ which now has a cool down of 11 seconds. It seems I can spam ’’Guard’’ to provide an endless source of regen and it stacks. I’m up to 1minute duration regen by spamming ’’Guard’’. Was this intended?

You already got close to perma regen long before this horrible trait was put into place. It’s kittening useless, you’re gonna lose so much damage getting 10seconds more of regen by going 30 deep into NM. It’s not even worth it really, and shouts are terrible as it is. Nothing but more fodder for trolly bunker specs that won’t be able to kill kitten in 1on1s.

I want more offensive based specs to arise, yet these trash rangers wanna be able to get more regen / protection so they can eat more kitten and not dodge important things effectively.

Ah, I didn’t know that and you seem upset with the new changes, I understand. Most of the pets got nerfed. So…

Or you can switch from the perma regen methods you were using before to build upon this perma regen and swiftness.

Stice showed some pretty cool ways you can increase damage by a good amount while still keeping a lot of the boons.

I made a typo and fixed it.

You do have a good point, but you’re weighing out the loss of dps between x6 dwayna switch to more offensive runes or not going 30 in skirmishing anymore. You need 30 in WS for any ranger build unless you’re with a zerg. You do have a good point though I guess it’s time to start testing out new mixtures.

I can get 1500 power , 1300 condi, 2150 tough, 300healing power, 20k health, 44% crit chance, 51% crit dmg in WvW with my current build with 3 regens running in 0/30/30/10/0

I’ve ran numerous boon stacking builds I actually did it for about 2 months straight and also found you can double stack boons if they’re aoe effects to your pet (x4 pack runes, x2 altruism) but even then it’s more of a charge up factor. You’re spending more time managing those boons instead of being offensive and defensive. It just seems to be at an overall loss in the long run. They’re decent builds but just way toooo much micro for what it’s ultimately worth.

But i dont know, maybe i just suck at microing that sort of meta and need practice with it, who knows.

This new trait opens a way for Rangers to be more support base in group play which was badly needed for them.

Who cares? It’s regen. It’s probably the worst boon in the game.

Not sure if trolling.
