Instinctual Bond should be merged with Circle of Life and then swapped with Fortifying Bond imo.

No, keep Fortifying Bond where it is, it makes sense that the boons to pet trait is in our support tree that focuses around boons and healing.

However, the merging it with Circle of Life idea should be done. I love Circle of Life, it’s a really powerful trait atm, the problem is that most people undervalue getting 7k healing when you go down and don’t take it/it competes with other traits. It’d be awesome to see it as a minor.

EDIT: I wouldn’t mind seeing Circle of Life merged with soften the fall either.

Even if they made the CD on Circle of Life (30s CD) merger with Instinctual Bond (50s CD) have a 90s CD, it would be a great minor in BM. Although, I would like Fortifying Bond in BM too, because I want to have my cake as well as eat it

The cake is a lie.

But on topic I am guessing they are not sure what to do with the ranger traits at the moment the amount of didn’t change is kind of depressing when compared to the amount of effort they seem willing to dedicate to rebuilding the engineer.

Yeah, well a lot of our traits were missing altogether too, so hopefully this is a very preliminary list.

I don’t think we’ll see many changes. At least, in the past when they preview something that’s pretty much it.

Well, at least they did more to the Rangers… I mean, at least they didn’t Necro us.

There is actually a trait that does exactly that — it lets you click a signet (eat the cake) and still get the passive effect while you wait for it to recharge (still have the cake too).

Just struck me as funny.

That is an ele trait?

Yep and one they view as garbage, if you look at all the traits (currently) they feel aren’t good it can be kind of depressing looking at the ranger list.
