Guild Wars 2

Why is there no pets that Grant AoE stability on a reasonable CD (25-30 Sec)? With all the Boons and Conditions that pets have a variety of I don’t understand why this was left off the table.

This would be awesome.

Inb4 they add it to a pet with a 130 radius, 6 sec cast time, 2 min cooldown, and then nerf it repeatedly in the next 3 patches

actually I think a 600 radius, insta cast, 25sec cd, 3stack aoe stability to 5 allies on a F2 pet skill is very reasonable for one of the jellyfish.

Lol you win this round

Or with a boon removal (a Chak with the AoE goop?). Hunter’s Call on a target with Retal ? RIP, it can’t be stopped like Rapid Fire.

Each pet should do something specific and useful, but hey don’t hope for too much. They could have made Forage from the pigs like Thief’s Steal, but they don’t. By just doing it, pigs would become useful to use.

What’s worse, is that the Pig can give an egg, that gives Health and INITIATIVE. Yes, rangers use initiative ! They didn’t even bother to change the Forage’s Egg steal skill from the Thief. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forage_

They don’t care about pets.

I’d be fine with utilities that give Stab as well, you knows ones that don’t have a 60 sec CD. But they want to shove pets down Ranger/Druids throats so, it makes sense that the pet might be kitten useful.

You have stability.

Now if you want a character that was left always at the mercy of others who share stability – Revenant.

Rangers/Druids have 2 stabilities both on 60 CD and are not AoE, you will note I said AoE, the point is to give them more Grp/Raid/Squad utility.

If you’re unhappy with Rev please direct yourself to the Rev forum, it’s below this one.

SotP got nerfed to 75s.

I just imagine the cast time they would have if they had added this at launch. Considering the cast time we have for 5 might stacks from the stalker.

Your pet removes all stability and the ability to create stability from enemies in the area for 10 seconds, you and your allies gain ten stacks of stability for 10 seconds.

Attach to smokescale, F2, move present smoke skill to 3 and make it repeat every 5 seconds.

I think that would work

And watch everyone go nuts and say natural convergence gives too much stability.

I have 12 seconds of stability every 60 seconds as a traited druid.

My comparison was to show that we have some where others have absolutely none.

SotP got nerfed to 75s.

I disagreed with this change, it made my build so much less able to stay alive.

I had to trait it down to 60 seconds, but still, compared to some elite cooldowns in the 38+ second range, 48 seconds traited wasn’t unreasonable but Anet nerfed it anyway.

The garbage that druids are ‘too OP’ is still hitting the front page of the forums while stability is nerfed making us far less desirable in any group in WvW or PvE.

Or people don’t want to use what they already have.

Reminds me of Revs crying over condition removal when they only play Herald/Shiro. They have stance swapping, Jalis heal, removal on dodge, Resistance and Staff 4.

Don’t blame them, rev players were spoiled when their profession was released. They got to do anything and everything and be immortal gods and also be awesome in addition to being immortal gods and then look cool on top of it because balance was a thing when an expansion was to be sold. It’s a hard knock life to adjust to.

Yes, group stability would be a good way to promote ranger/druid in WvW.

However, I’m tired of reading “druids only have 2 stability sources on a 60ish seconds CD”. If you look closer at druid spells, you will notice that we also have a stability source while in Avatar. It doesn’t solve the group stability topic but it might help you.

Natural Convergence (2 sec stab, 10 sec CD)
1) Start channeling Natural Convergence
2) Stow weapon immediately
3) Run around and enjoy your stab

You’re saying open or keep open the Hero panel and try to stow a weapon while fighting?

You really don’t WvW much, do you?

No he’s saying you start channeling NC and then cut out of CA. It’s a solid, smart technique.

/Facepalm do YOU even wvw? In the endeavor to talk poop to that fellow ranger you kinda made yourself look incompetent
Anyways for your benefit, here’s a video explaining weapon stow and what it can do for you, granted the video is for mesmers, however the same concept can be applied to any class, in this case natural convergence.

Anyways enjoy https://youtu.be/qipMu_1-oYk

Nah not much. I’m one of the only druids included in the GvG line-up of one of the current top 3 GvG guild EU and I have been playing it in GvG since druid was released

Back to the topic: stow weapon (keyboard bind) = cancel current spell casting which means 2 stacks of stab from Natural Convergence you can use for something else.

Inb4 they add it to a pet with a 130 radius, 6 sec cast time, 2 min cooldown, and then nerf it repeatedly in the next 3 patches

actually I think a 600 radius, insta cast, 25sec cd, 3stack aoe stability to 5 allies on a F2 pet skill is very reasonable for one of the jellyfish.

Best thing I read all day. That was quite entertaining man, you got me.
