Guild Wars 2

There are definately some ranger problems this has already been brought up before but the GS skill swoop does less damage than maul even though it says it does more. Also I feel that RaO should state that it only applies to your current pet and if swapped it does not apply.

Shara.4716:

Signet of the Hunt- Passive: Grants 25% increased movement speed to you and your pet.
Active: Your pet’s next attack deals more damage.

You only receive a 10% speed bonus

I notice this the most. It’s possible however that it is just a typo in the skill description and not an actual bug. But I would like to see whatever the actual problem is, addressed.

You’re getting the 25% movement increase, just when they changed it from 10 they did not update the active icon. But I do agree that the Spirit of Nature is no longer working. It used to, but not anymore.

Just wanted to throw this in here — I’m not sure about the “when commanded” side, but Spirit of Nature was definitely reviving NPCs tonight when initially cast (I can’t speak to PCs, none were downed around me any time I cast it). I actually found your post because I was a little frustrated that the revives weren’t counting toward daily healer; they were definitely getting back up and fighting, though.

This was in standard world PVE (Bloodtide Coast, for what it’s worth).

edit: punctuation.

I don’t feel like I’m getting the 25% speed increase versus other classes I play.

PLUS, and I’m not sure it’s for all classes, but when you have your weapons drawn, you run about 5% slower, even if you’re out of agro. Personally I think they should not have this…

Pets… argh.. They agro even when you don’t want them to. So it’s kind of like a ranger’s curse. Someone in WvW attacks your pet if it’s behind you(which usually is when you’re on the run), then you go to combat movement speed..

I say separate the pet and ranger when it comes to run speed where even if your pet gets agro, you don’t lose your speed bonus unless you’re in agro too.

Pets in general are generally useless against human opponents. Sure, they’re sometimes aggravating, but a human opponent is always dodging and on the move anyways. So pets really only useful in PvE, in sPvP and WvW, they mostly just serve to slow us down to the point where the class is kinda broken…

Same here.
Spirit of Nature not reviving allies.
Pet not healing while Ranger downed, most of the time.

Please, make Ranger ONLY throw dirt at enemies.
Maybe they will die laughing.
