Guild Wars 2

Helios.3598:

For a Familiar weapon, then animal would likely be small like a cat, bird, ferret, bat, or snake. When “stowed” they would be riding on your shoulder or arm. When in combat they’d be running or flying along side you. Unlike a Ranger pet, your Familiar is simply a weapon and its skills would be where the weapon skills would be. Some familiars could be 2H weapons while others could be 1H.

This would be amazing. MH Sword or Pistol with OH Raven? YES PLEASE!

I think you raise a valid question about the confusion changes, but I think your subject line and description of a bux fix as “another nerf” to Confusion muddy the issue. I think there are some good questions, though, such as:

1. Was the issue identified before the damage on Confusion was reduced?
2. Were these instances of extra damage excluded from your analysis of the damage of Confusion when deciding to reduce its damage?
3. Is it possible that Confusion’s damage output was artificially inflated in anet’s analysis by this bug?

This explains what’s been happening to me. Thanks all!
