Guild Wars 2

Looking at the new traits for Marksmanship: http://i.imgur.com/TVN0V2u.jpg

Beastmaster’s Bond -> Beastmaster’s Might -> Remorseless seems like they have good synergy, but not unless Opening Stike will stack.

Remorseless gains Opening Strike on Fury
Beastmaster’s Might gains Opening Strike on Signet
Call of the Wild (and Beastmaster’s Bond) is a Signet that also gives Fury

So Call of the Wild would trigger both traits and give Opening Strike twice, which would not be possible unless Opening Strike stacks.

I don’t think it will stack, but since it only last 1 hit, stack would be kinda OP.
Just pop RaO and go frenzy with all your Opening Strikes

I was thinking 2 consecutive hits would both get Opening Strike, rather than 1 hit, so that wouldn’t be OP.

I was not thinking in the stack buff 1 hit, the OP comment was about stacking before a fight or something, like pop RaO, the sigs , and other party members giving fury then your next 25 attacks have the 100% crit +25% damage.

You’re right, I hadn’t thought about it like that. Stacking Opening Strike could be OP. Still, that makes choosing those 3 traits together a bit useless, eventough they seem to have synergy on the surface.

Ok I just noticed something else. The trait Beastmaster’s Bond casts Warhorn 5 (Call of the Wild), not Signet of the Wild. So that doesn’t count as a signet and therefore has no synergy with Beastmaster’s Might.

Do each of the trait have ICD? I think they could stack giving Ranger a bit of burst capability.

Some does, some doesn’t, currently Remorseless has no ICD, let’s see if it will remain like that till launch.
