Guild Wars 2

The main purpose of this trait was to fuel celestial avatar, and now post patch it no longer does that by any significant measure.

There was no reason to change it to tick every 3 sec, if this is a soul beast change then it is a bad one since it nerfs druid for no good reason.
The only thing this achieved (literally since it heals for the same amount) is reduce build diversity as now you are forced to ether use traited shouts + staff or traited shouts + signet of renewal when before you could use traited shouts + n.healing.

Plz revert it back, if the issue was the sustain it gave to the pet then just reduce the numbers on it. (it would be a better trait if it literally healed for 1 hp/sec than what it is now)

I think thats the whole point of the change, to reduce its impact on CA.

^That. The trait was use long before druids. With the addition of CA I guess they thought the trait was too good.

My theory is that we might gain some of our pet abilities while in Beastmode and this one ticking on a Soulbeast player instead of a pet might have been perceived as too strong with a shorter interval.

No, the purpose of this trait was to regenerate your pet and make its healing better. The regen portion of this trait existed years before druid even was a thought.

Secondly, if Soulbeast will make pet centric traits affect the ranger when merged, this is a needed change.

I don’t even notice that it’s not influencing my Avatar Juice generation, as much anymore, that being said I sure wish they’d added something to the trait instead of just straight up nerfing its CA generation, AND the pet healing power.
