I couldn’t seem to feed the cat in trib mode.
Thanks for the opportunity!

Have now tried 10 times without any luck (I’ve gotten 10 nightmare keys from it). This is really annoying. I’m not trying to say I’m owed a chest after x tries, but it would be nice if there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Gambler’s fallacy and all, nothing promises I won’t be trying this all week.
Yeah, I’ve been just listening to music and fighting that thing over and over again. I LOVED the update otherwise, but this is such a damper. I have 4k crests I can’t use to get the silly box.
Yeah, it’s no longer in my inventory. I hope it’s supposed to be a “Stay tuned” and not something bugging out.
I feel like I am bringing selfish utilities like QZephyr, Wild Signet, and Sic Em. I’d love to be able to run frost spirit again!

Yep, four legendaries deep on my ranger. Nothing compared to Skady, but I’m seriously considering dropping it anyways.
If they made legendaries account bound, I’m unsure there’d be a second thought.
How does that even happen.
Near positive that’s not a change.
Had some really great fights all week. I’m sad to see that SBI will probably slip to silver. Had some great fights with RISE, DIE, FEAR, TW ..I can’t even remember all the tags anymore.. it’s really been great.

Yeah, 20/25/0/25/0 is probably the most typical. Run something like sword/axe or sword/warhorn and then the “off-set” can be up to you. You can go something like GS or axe/horn (so you have access to both off hand warhorn and off hand axe, even though main hand axe is average.) Spotter, and frost spirit with the trait for proc, yeah. Then sic em and quickening or something.
I typically run 30/25/5/10/0 though for a more "general’ use set. Still lots of dps, and the natural vigor is a “fit all” trait that’s really nice to have. You can then run SotBM and all three signets have their use. Wild is a nice +25% and can replace sic em. Hunt you can proc out of combat and switch out. Stone is a nice panic button if you feel you are taking too many hits.
The other traits are the Pet+30% crit, pet might on crit, and the +10% when endurance is full trait.

So the Mesmer phantasms/clones get buffs/debuffs based on the game mode while Ranger pet nerf was across the board.
Amazing!
They moved the quickness higher up to traitline give players a reason to still invest that deep into BM, despite the DPS loss from pets. Would be interesting to see if people will still go for it though (I’m still too attached to DD505 to do it :-s)
I like the changes on WS too. It didn’t need changes at all as its already a solid traitline. Just minor buffs to further solidify it.
The other changes were already listed in the leaked notes last week so I’m not gonna comment on those.
I won’t be investing 30pts into BM for any build anymore. Not worth it. Pretty much if you want to run a DPS build its going to have less to do with the pet more than ever before. As a DPS ranger (or any ranger build) the overall DPS is going to be lower after this patch which hurts in PVE and dungeons and make rangers less desirable for dungeons.
It seems like the Companions Might Buff is the bone they’re throwing to us in return. unsure how useful but I have the points into skirmishing anyway so maybe it’ll be something..
I’m not the best at remembering trait names but I’m thinking of doing the signet cooldowns, Beastmaster’s might, and signet of the beastmaster on the Marks line. Usually will have Signet of the Wild and one other signet on the bar anyway. I used to run the 10% endurance while full but maybe Beastmasters might can replace that and I will be using the Natural Vigor to simply be able to dodge more rather than just make sure I am at the endurance cap.
Shame about the supposed Zephyr’s Speed change though, was such a nice gravy quickness for something you do anyway for 5 points.
As soon as someone gets close…swap to the melee weapon?
Path of Scars pull…
:D

Pets already die too fast too often in pve/dungeons in most cases…and this on top of it?
Unless they compensate with some sort of huge aoe damage reduction (lol)
Mainly go for berserker or carrion.
Use 30-20-0-0-20 or 30-10-0-0-30 both with feline/drake pets,
or 30-30-5-0-5 with a support pet as campa mentitioned.
Yeah I run the 30-20-0-0-20 with feline/drake. I like it so far.
I switch between axe and warhorn. If there is a warrior in group providing fury then RaO along with it makes the warhorn 5 seem less useful so I’ll go axe.
Yeah, ranged attacks in general are weak. I’ve started to use primarily sword/warhorn or sword/axe, switching to bow only if I need to bail out up close (usually a sword 2 “bailout” followed by the weapon switch).
I use a generosity sigil on my shortbow for this very reason. I like it a lot.
The “Scavenger Hunt” I see is a way to remove the randomness of obtaining precursor, I don’t really think looking at it as a way to lower their prices.
I’d think of it as the green vs yellow SAB skins, I would not be surprised if the quest-obtained precursors are account bound. Though I haven’t put a lot of thought on whether that would be good or not good.
So, basically the goal is to diminish the rng requirement, not the price. At least that is how I interpret this.
Edit: Though the price would still be affected by not requiring people to dump exos or buy straight out.
Really, infusions are so costly for the additional +4 or +5 stat that they really are not worth having. For example: It takes +21 points of precision at level 80 to gain a 1% increase in critical chance.
Just purchase a versatile simple infusion for the +5 AR and move on would be my suggestion. Save your gold/materials.
Agreed, I put together two of the stat + resist infusions, one power and one precision. The rest are going to be resist unless for some reason I realllly feel like sinking some gold.
I use generosity on the shortbow and fire on long.
Bought the two bow precursors from the TP. I got Lover for like 113g after the Shores event. Leaf of Kudzu for like 420g that I saved up for.
Rares from Southsun would be my guess.
So the general sentiment is basically “nearly all buffs but not enough”?
I wanna try out a drake now, that HP increase…
I do agree that ignoring longbow is annoying but oh well.
Yeah sometimes I use stone signet as basically an oh **** button if I’m out of endurance or something. I may equip it more often now.
