Guild Wars 2

Change the Beast Mastery attribute bonus from 50 -> 300 flat points to a 5% -> 30% of the Ranger’s own attributes. Base attributes of 916 would still result in a 274 pet stat bonus at 6 beast mastery, but it would allow for customisation of stat combinations and pet stats scaling with gear. For example running full Berserker everything with 2500 power means +750 power for pets.

Go for it, be different. Maybe Anet will throw a bone to the Guardian’s ranged weapons sometime. Staff skills are solid support, but Scepter skills are a bit lacklustre. Orb autoattacks are easily avoided by other players and are a bit vanilla in what they do, and I kind of wish Smite was another Symbol skill but alas it’s just a plain AoE damage spell.

If you’re going for a “Holy Mage” style of character, Consecration utility skills kind of fit the theme too. Wall of Reflection is remarkably useful in some PvE encounters and WvW fights, is a Light field so you’ll get plenty of extra condition removal and Retaliation from people combo’ing from it, and a Fire fields from Purging Flames are always welcome for extra damage (burning and Might combos) and the inherent cleansing effect.
