Because playing core Ranger for 5 years gets a bit boring, if only Anet had chosen a first elite spec that was lore friendly and actually fit the Ranger I wouldn’t have been all that excited, but soulbeast will probably be condition based which is always a bad thing. Just hope it will be as broken as the first elite specs were and totally destroy the old elite specs I am good with it.
People that play Druid shouldn’t be allowed to whine about getting hit by nerfs. Druids are the main reason the Ranger has been getting nerfed for the last 2.5 years. Also this weird change is nothing new, We had the same thing happen 2.5 years ago when they announced HoT and we got a lot of our skills and traits changed to fit a certain ideal that Anet wants the Ranger to have. They just pushed the Ranger even further into that ideal this time around.
“Strength of the Pack!”: This skill has been reworked and no longer pulses boons on the ranger. When cast, this skill will now apply 10 stacks of stability for 8 seconds, along with 12 seconds of fury and 12 seconds of swiftness.
And there goes the only useful elite skill for power Rangers in WvWvW.
Resounding Timbre: Regeneration duration of this trait has been reduced from 10 seconds to 4 seconds in PvP only.
I guess this was nerfed because of there was probably some Druid build that did well in PvP so core spec got shafted again.
I have no idea why we got all these nerfs on a bad profession again. If you want to nerf something just keep it to the Druid skill/traits.
*fixed a typo should have been sPvP instead of WvW for the Resounding Timbre part

Now the only thing Anet needs to do is have Braham die, but sadly that won’t happen. He’s getting edgier and edgier with every new chapter.
Does anyone else have problems with this skill going on full cooldown while for example walking and not facing the targeted enemy?
I’ve made a 3-4 seconds video showing the the easiest way to reproduce it: http://puu.sh/snoIW/c43ba64fd7.webm
I mostly have problems with this skill being totally useless while playing WvWvW because of it just doing nothing most of the time and it going full cooldown.
I would like to note that none of the other Ranger(Haven’t tested any of the Druid staff skills as I don’t want to touch a Druid ever) weapon skills have this same very problem.
IMO as someone who plays a Ranger(not a Druid) the Druid wasn’t hit hard enough. Am a bit sad “SOTP” and “WHAO” got hit by nerfs must have been because it made some Druid builds to strong.
I hope for once that they nerf only the Druid part of the Ranger instead of nerfing core spec skills just because of some Druid build was broken. The Ranger has become even more useless ever since HoT got released. I just plainly refuse to spec a Druid because of lore reasons.
And to all those people who are sad their Revenant is going to get nerfed and now don’t have a spot in Raid parties anymore welcome to my world where there have never been any Raid builds for Rangers ever.
I stopped caring about GW1 lore when they released Nightfall and destroyed every great piece of lore in Prophecies and Factions with how badly they retconned all that stuff.
In my eyes the Mursaat were less evil than the Charr are. As far as I know they didn’t want to conquer the world and wipe out all the other races like the Char wanted. The Mursaat were only using the white mantle who in their defence saved Kryta from annihilation while the old king/queen fled leaving the rest of the people to die when the Charr were approaching.

It has a 45 seconds cool down(35 if traited) and is only really useful in really specific situations. It is not like you also get stability on you cast it and it’s pretty much a waste to use “Rampage as One!” or Signet of the Wild just for the stability. and most of the times you have “Rampage as One!” already used up if you have it slotted.
Time Warp is an Elite skill with a 180 second cool down. And is also a core Mesmer skill. That didn’t stop ANet from nerfing quickness from Rez/stomping. Time Warp is useless in SPvP now. Is it any surprise that every Mesmer is running Moa?
It was indeed a sad thing to see Time Warp get hit by an indirect nerf when they nerfed quickness, the real problem with quickness was that some classes had a pretty constant access to quickness and were mostly used to instantly finish or instantly rez someone. If you were lucky you could still interrupt the one trying to finish you when you were downed or the one rezzing, but most of the time they would also have 5-10 stacks of stability on them(The same problems as most people now seem to have with druids using search and rescue) so you couldn’t really do a lot against fast stomps and rezzes.
I would rather see Anet just nerf the druid spec so that it’s on the same level as the normal Ranger.
What annoys me the most about this thread is that I only see people talking about it being used by druids. I wouldn’t want to see this skill nerfed or changed again just because it’s used in some builds on an elite-spec. I as someone who plays a normal ranger, would get hit by it pretty hard.

I was just playing around with the V2/Color API for a bit, when I noticed that all the colour objects returned have the same value for base_rgb, namely [128,26,26] is this done by design or are the values supposed to differ between different colours, I remember seeing different values before but I am not really sure.
As one of the members and wurm commanders for [DV](Gandara) I agree with the points made in this thread. This change hurts us alot.
