Guild Wars 2

Wilderness expert cooldown reduction does not affect the Keen Edge trait from marksmanship , even though it is the same ability as is the utility slot one . Should it affect it ? Thoughts ?

It should. Like many other things should.

I’m not sure that it should when you look at others profession’s traits…

I think it should, considering next patch Enlargement is going to act like the Signet of the Wild active and it will be affected by other traits: Signet of the Beastmaster, Signet Mastery and Beastmaster’s Might.

But then again, I think it shouldn’t, because the trait has a 30 second cooldown and the utility has a 45 second cooldown. So it’s already better than the utility.

Unless they just changed it, Keen Edge also has a 45 second cooldown. The buff lasts 30s if unused.

Maybe Enlargement won’t work with the cd reduction trait.
Warriors have “Shake It Off!” triggered by a trait but the cd reduction trait is not applied even if the “Shouts heals” trait is applied.

the trait has a 45 second cooldown as per tip

You are right. Both have a 45 seconds cooldown.
So, then it probably should be affected by the cooldown reduction trait.

Enlargement is changed in the next update:

Nature Magic X – Enlargement. This trait now uses Signet of the Wild to trigger. This reduces the cooldown to 60 seconds and allow it to interact with the Signet of the Beastmaster and Signet Mastery traits.

Harro Terravos! This trait is now basically the active portion of Signet of the Wild, meaning it can be reduced with Signet Mastery and will also apply to the ranger when Signet of the Beastmaster is equipped and Might if you have Beastmaster’s Might equipped.

Thank you for the reminder. Perhaps the Ranger will be the first and only class with CD reduction traits that work with other traits
