Guild Wars 2

the dodge mechanic is just awful. i have to waste a precious dodge to get some extra damage… I only use that trait for the piercing and recharge reduction but i dont use the dodge thing like ever.

Could we please get a flat extra condition duration in the shortbow skills? because only affects the conditions from the shortbow, could we get at least +50%?
i kniw sounds excesive but one of the problem of this weapon is the short conditions it applies. Bleed is a weak condition and only do some pressure if you can stack like +20 stacks.
fire is much stronger condition and other classes can stack 20 stacks easily really fast.

This trait should give us bonus condi dmg and duration if we are under the effect if swiftness or quickness(quickness gets bigger bonus), every time we EVADE an attack we get swiftness or quickness for a short duration. So the bonus triggers on sword, greatsword, dagger and all other evade skills the ranger has.

… or the trait could increase SB range back to 1200.

The range increase should be made baseline. Now that the LB has a range of 1500 there is no reason not to.

I kind of like this idea, except replace Quickness with Vigor to tie in more synergy with the Skirmishing traitline (ala Primal Reflex). Maybe +10% condition damage and duration while under the effects of Swiftness, and +20% while under the effects of Vigor.

Numbers might be a bit too high.
But the idea is cool. I approve.
