Guild Wars 2

TL;DR – worldly impact should be a blast finisher to compensate for how few the ranger has, and also since it appears visually to be a blast.

I’ve not used the forums in ages so forgive me if this thread is in the wrong place.

I’ve been having a lot of fun with soulbeast. I can sympathise with many of the complaints people have about soulbeast but I’m mainly excited to take it in to dungeons with my static, where I can forsee some fantastic burst damage (at least compared to berserker ranger).

I just wanted to discuss why the skill “Worldly Impact” (the F3 beast skill for ferocious pets) is a leap finisher. The ranger has plenty of access to leap and projectile finishers, and I really think it would be good to have worldy impact given a blast finisher instead. Currently ranger only has easy access to 1 blast finisher, Warhorn, which has a pretty long cooldown. You can get 2 more from druid, and there is also one hidden behind the drake pets. Compare this to things like elementalist and warrior which have only 10. Of course Ranger shouldn’t be that high because at least in its current state it somewhat goes against the flavour of the ranger, but I think only 1 is still a bit low.

I think considering that worldy impact both looks and feels like a Blast finisher, it would be great to have this skill switched to this type of finisher. It would be great to actually be able to participate in getting buffs on to groups in dungeons and WvW. I have also seen requests for entangle to be given a blast for similar reasons. I definitely think it would make soulbeast a much more appealing choice if this small change was made. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts
