Guild Wars 2

Water Spirit for the Ranger is still bugged. It is now more broken than before.

• Passive healing effect and the Water Spirit active heal of Aqua Surge (the splash) is not effected by any outgoing healing % modifiers.
• Passive healing effect is no longer displays in the combat log or heal floating numbers when proc by allies.
• Passive healing no longer activates Lingering Light [Druid GM Trait] on allies.
• Passive healing does not activate Natural Mender or Live Vicariously [Druid minor Traits] for the Druid.
• Healing from the passive effect no longer scales with the player’s healing power and heals a static 863 health points.
• Tooltip for the passive effect heal does not update with the player’s healing power and is displayed incorrectly at a static 863 heal. This appears to be linked with the previously noted bug, however, it has been this way for several months with different static heals presented on different patches.

+ As of the 01-26-2016 patch, the passive heal was reduced to a static 915 and no longer scaled with the player’s healing power or outgoing healing % modifiers.
+ As of the 02-23-2016 patch, the passive heal was reduced to a static 889 and could no longer proc by affected allies.
+ As of the 03-08-2016 patch, the passive heal was reduced to a static 863. Allies can now proc the passive heal again but it does not register with the combat log and no longer activates Lingering Light on affected allies.

As a new update, Swiftness provided by Storm Spirit when traited with Nature’s Vengeance (Nature Magic, Grandmaster) no longer scales with the player’s boon duration as of the 04-19-2016 patch.

Edited after a bit more testing and to add Storm Spirit bug.

So many bugs among the pile for Ranger… lol. If this were to be fixed, maybe this heal skill could be considered ‘good’.

And another Ranger bug, left to be forgotton about v-v

Might be best if we come together on the Ranger forum to compile known bugs and submit them to Reddit, Wondrouswall. If we were to get any reaction, it wouldn’t be from their own forums.

Bump because Water Spirit is still bugged and now the Swiftness duration of Storm Spirit no longer scales with the player’s boon duration. Will update again when I test the rest of them.

Update: Good news. The other Spirits (Frost, Sun, Stone, and Nature) are still in working order. Storm Spirit’s Vulnerability also works, in terms of scaling with the applicant’s condition duration stat.
