- camouflage utility or elite skill
Invisibility as long as you remain immobile and out of combat. Currently only available with a trait for a short duration when you get hit by a control skill. We should be able to use the skill while in combat to get out of combat. One of the major issues I have with being a ranger is being stuck in combat for what seems an eternity and it ruins any hope of escape since combat drastically reduces your movement speed. Being stuck in combat mode also ruins jumping puzzles sometimes (especially in WvW). It would be nice if the camouflage could last for a long time (more than a minute) and have the cooldown start when you become visible again.

- condition removal not requiring a pet
Most of our condition removal requires a pet to be both alive and near you. I would like these restrictions removed. It’s deadly to the pet and often the pet is out of range for bow users anyway.

- pets not coming out of stow from taking falling damage.
Possibly, not coming out of stow at all if set on passive mode. I personally like the pet coming out of stow when taking damage, but not when taking falling damage.

- swiftness buff utility skill.
No longer on my wishlist. Signet of the wild is sufficient.

They’ve already stated that Sig of Wild will be buffed, but they’re doing so by increasing the movement speed to 25%, so the only way to keep 100% swiftness is either with runes of the pack, 30 points in NM, and a warhorn or runes of centaur with a warhorn. However, this at least does give some alternative with a decent speed increase.

As for the introduction of any new skills, there’s no way we’ll see anything before something like a major expansion. In the meantime, the closest thing you have to camo is either the Hide in Plain Sight trait or by using an Ash Legion Spy Kit (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ash_Legion_Spy_Kit).

edited condition removal into first post.

Yes I have good hopes for the 25% movement speed. I hope I won’t even feel the need for the swiftness buff anymore.

Too bad the camouflage item doesn’t work in WvW

If you want to get a feel for 25% speed while you wait for the patch, you can roll a thief, step into the mists and run around with Signet of Shadows.

Wiki says doesn’t work in WvW ?

When someone uses the word ‘Meta’, a kitten dies. Don’t do it.

edited my first post to include pets coming out of stow from falling damage. I love doing jumping puzzles, but then my pet is very distracting to me, so I like keeping him stowed. However, he keeps popping out when I take some falling damage and there isn’t even a keyboard shortcut to put him back in (no I don’t care about getting a shortcut for it, I just want him to stay stowed from falling damage).

The signet of the wild is perfect now. I much rather use signet of the wild than warhorn and/or elite skill or centaur runes, eventhough the movement speed is 7% less at least it’s constant. So I slashed “- swiftness buff utility skill.” from my wish list
