There has been a lot of posts out there about the changes with We Heal As One, however, I don’t know if this has been posted or noticed yet, but, rangers essentially has an unlimited speed boost, no, I am not talking about the synergy between We Heal As One, Resounding Timbre, Call of the Wind and Strength of the pack! , I am talking about We Heal As One alone.
I don’t know if it was intentional that this skill be used like this, but the timer on We Heal As One stacks, meaning if you keep reapplying We Heal As One and use Strength of the pack! during your first time using the skill, you can keep reapplying We Heal As One and the timer will stack – I have been able to reach +2 minutes of speed boost, within a few minutes of using the skill as the timer keeps increasing – just saying.
(Don’t hate me for showing this potential exploit – if it could be seen that way)

It is not bug we heal as 1 shares boons between you and pet and bc it gives 10 s of sift Ness and regeneration to pet also and than you share it with skill it’s hard to explane there is no bug
It’s undoubtedly a bug. As long as you and your pet have the same boons with stacking duration, WHaO will refresh them. You can use this to essentially gain permanent quickness, protection, retaliation, fury, vigor, regeneration and swiftness.
If you and your pet get any stacks duration boon on you with a duration that’s longer than the cooldown for WHaO you can maintain it indefinitely.

Mhm, I understand that it refreshes, but I am focusing more on the timer itself, as it essentially extends and extends/adds to it, literally players can sit there and rebuff to the point where they could end up with 20 minutes of worth of buffs (have yet to try it for that duration so I don’t know if there’s a limit as to how long you can extend a timer or not).

Feel free to jump in there if you want to add your voice to say that it’s bugged.
Ummmm….. you do realize certain boons stack in duration right? WHaO now copies your pets boons to you and vice versa, basically reapplying the boons. How the kitten can you think something is a bug when it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do?
…….. I mean…. what the actual kitten?

Wow..I never knew that, heh, oops, my bad. Ignore my OP then time to enjoy my speed boost! * prays they don’t change it *
Just for the sake of learning (as I am still fairly new to the game), what professions/skills/traits increase the duration of a specific boon?

lingering magic gives you a flat 20% boon duration boost and there are a few runes that increase effectiveness of certain boons or boons in generell
Interesting..still, I really do hope that this is how the skill was intended to be used and that I am not exploiting anything by any chance, regardless of what other players say – as in my opinion, I feel that 2 minutes of speed boost is a bit OP in itself already – and this isn’t taking into account other buffs, and is extremely tempting to just sit there and reapply the boost until I end up with essentially, double digit timers.

You could already keep up 2 min of swiftness before the change to WHaO. Not an exploit, don’t worry about it.

I highly doubt being able to stack, and maintain, close to nine minutes of quickness is an intended effect. Especially when Feel My Wrath just got nerfed for being too strong. Like, what, the devs sat down and said, “Hey you know that decent Guardian elite that gives short quickness and fury? Let’s nerf that because it’s just too strong. Now, moving onto Ranger, let’s make it so they can maintain quickness, fury and every single other stacks duration boon indefinitely at the exact same time.”
The tempest skill that refreshes and increases current boons? That’s on a 30 second cooldown and locked behind an elite spec. We Heal As One, 20 second cooldown, or 16 seconds if traited. You’re not meant to be able to stuff half the game’s boons in your pocket and keep them there forever. That’s crazy broken. To the extent that I don’t even know how you can pretend that it’s not. How is a character being able to maintain permanent swiftness, quickness, retaliation, protection, fury, vigor and regeneration not broken? There are eleven boons currently in the game. You think that being able to permanently maintain seven of those eleven boons is an intended effect? Because it’s clearly not.
feel my wrath was aoe and X minutes of quickness also only works with useless runes and PvE food.
idk why people are crying all over the forums.. if you choose to build around this heal skill and boons you will miss out on many other crucial traits, and most important, condi cleanse.
this build might benefit rangers in pve but is complete trash in pvp
get over it

I wouldn’t worry overly about being able to maintain swiftness and regeneration from We Heal As One and Resounding Timbre. The reason being that you’re reapplying boons from the skill itself. You’re getting a little extra from the pet, but ultimately, who cares? You’re using a skill that gives you swiftness and regeneration and getting swiftness and regeneration.
Where you start running into trouble is if someone else puts quickness on you and your pet for say, 10 seconds each, and then forty minutes later you still have that same quickness maintained by a skill that doesn’t actually grant you quickness naturally.
Hm, I would like to request this thread be locked as I didn’t intend it to be turned into another potential heated discussion on We Heal As One is fair or not, it was merely meant to bring into focus and question on whether it was intended that We Heal As One be used like this – causing rangers to be able to potentially and essentially end up with permanent boons if spec-ed and the right skills are popped.
For now, I appreciate all your responses, and would like to request that potential posters limit themselves as to what they bring into the post (sorry..but I wasn’t really trying to start another ‘right or wrong’ thread).

Perma quickness, fury, protection, regernation (insert any boon here) rangers in pvp.

Sometimes I really think you don’t test and/or think about changes you make.
Seriously the OP just said not to make this thread into another fair or not thread. 15 sec quickness is not perma. Also, you need to sacrfice alot in order to get this boons (which btw has a counter and I am suprised you are not aware with it because of your name). Now pls go cry at the eles fourm where they can give (almost) perma boons to the all group.
time to enjoy my speed boost! * prays they don’t change it *
