Guild Wars 2

Hey guys

So, rangers got three traits associated with weapon swap (WS)
Tail Wind – Gain swiftness when WS in combat.
Furious Grip – Gain fury when WS in combat.
Quick Draw – When WS, the next ranger weapon skill you use will recharge faster

and of course we can always equip some sigils to trigger even more effects

BUT

If we would like to lower the cooldown of WS by 20% with runes of warrior the CD of WS would be lower than ICD of traits and sigils so we would proc. effects only every second swap. So the runes are now quite useless.

So here is my idea: we could lower the ICD of traits and sigils or make the runes lower those CD too.

What you think?

Some of the warrior traits are slightly lower CD for that reason i think.

Those runes would be more popular if more of the traits and sigils’ cd were trimmed with that in mind.

One problem might be that the CD on that stuff is 9 instead of 10 because 10sec CD wouldn’t make them trigger? So to make warrior runes more compatible they would need to reduce their CD to 7sec. Well sigils and traits can trigger on things like bundles and attunements swapping so that could end up as a new problem with classes like ele/engi/ranger/druid/necro.

Most of the swap traits are on 9 sec CD to avoid delay-failing.
Staff is at 8 seconds if I’m correct. Not 100% sure about it though. Too lazy to check now.

Having them synergize with the rune and having all of them on 8 seconds would be a nice improvement.
I still wouldn’t use it or utilize around but well. I don’t see where’s the harm in this change so, why not?

Well this would change CD for traits and sigils from 9s to 7.2s, nothing game-changing about it. I think this should be easy to implement.

The reason I’m talkin’ about it is that there are a lot of runes out there that have no place in game and little improvements like this could make them maybe a bit more viable and if we keep improving them maybe we will end up with more variety of builds.

(You might be misunderstanding the problem.
The Weapon Swap cooldown is at 10 seconds. Traits that proc from swaps are at 9 seconds to avoid fail in case delay plays the role that would prevent it from happening on every swap. Traits are not affected by the sigil.

With this sigil you can get a cooldown of 8 second on your weapon swap – failing to proc traits if you cast swap on cooldown.)

Whether this is the way they want it – we don’t know. They might just have forgotten about the sigil and they let it be that way. It would be a nice QoL change to allow more diversity but as I said – I don’t think many of us would use it.
Edit: I’ve reread the message, realized I posted a nice nonsense as a reply. Please bear with me, I’m being ill.
