I know that recently, F2 skill cooldowns were fixed so that you couldn’t swap pets back and forth and stack up X buff up really high since they weren’t resetting properly.
This has only affected stuff on land though. Let me explain.
I have my Red Moa out, I use my F2 for 15s of Fury. I am standing near water.
I hop underwater, where my primary pet is a shark, I hop back out onto land, calling my Red Moa, the F2 is recharged, despite it having a 30s CD. I can now reuse the ability.
I was able to stack fury up to 2min duration+ this way without any boon duration modifiers. I don’t use any underwater pets that give a boon but presumably this works with that too.
I realize it’s not huge, it’s kinda tedious to jump in and out of water 15 times to get up a 2 minute fury buff and not something I would do regularly.
However, I was in WvW the other day fighting a thief near water, and I tried this: With a wolf, I was able to fear constantly, just hit the F2, jump into water and jump out, hit F2 again. In addition it looked like his knockdown and other cooldowns were also refreshed. This is something I would presume is not intended for Rangers to be able to do.
I hope everyone doesn’t hate me for blowing the whistle on this :P If it hasn’t been observed already by a million people.
