Guild Wars 2

I was running through my world’s borderland today, fell off a cliff, and noticed that in addition to my Signet of the Wild healing me right after, there were healing effects listed as Pet Species Buff. I had either an owl or a snow leopard at the time. Both caused this effect after I fell off the cliff, even though neither have any known healing skills. Anyone know what this is?

What most people don’t know is that the Beastmastery GM trait Natural Healing also affects the Ranger as well. That’s what the pet species buff is. It heals the ranger for 133 every 3 seconds, or 177 if you have the compassion training trait, which translates to 44hp/s and 59hp/s respectively. This is a big part of what makes BM rangers so tanky.

Gotta love those accurate trait descriptions. Thank you once again anet for telling us about half of what the trait does.

Does this stack with the Signet of the Wild regeneration?

Yes

Thanks for the explanation. Strange that the trait’s text doesn’t explain that.

I really hope this is working as intended and not a bug.
