It happened to me also. Please fix it asap, pets are useless now.

It’s not that these traits are bad. They are just very situational. IMO there should be changes like these:
- merge traits Beastmaster’s Might and Signet Mastery and put it in Adept tier,
- Move Signet of the Beastmaster trait to Master tier,
- make new Grandmaster trait in Marksmanship tree.
Remorseless is a good trait, combined with longbow with cd reduction, much better than sigil of Intelligence. The main issue in this trait is that the only skill that is strong enough to benefit from this trait is Maul. I suggest to remake some of lb skills so they can benefit from stealth and Opening Strike (something like +50% dmg on autoattack when you stand still while shooting – then Stealth gives us an opportunity to get a position to make a powerful shot, while we have 100% crit chance because of regaining Opening Strike).
Another issue is combining Moment of Clarity trait with weapon skills. Right now Ranger has one interrupt on sb, one on lb and two on gs. Again, this trait has weak synergy with weapon skills, because sb is not burst weapon, is more focused on sustain dps. GS has good synergy because of Swoop and Maul. LB has mediocre synergy, Rapid fire is affected only in 1st hit and autoattack has distance penalties.
It would be also great if 3rd skill on lb had no dmg at all. Then we could make combo like Point Blank Shot (with Moment of Clarity) > Hunter’s Shot (regain Opening Strike by Remorseless trait and NOT losing Attack of Opportunity) > swap to gs > maul/swoop while stealthed.

It’s not only following moving targets. It also follows stealthed players, at least for first 2 leaps. And if he shadowsteps/blinks, then you kind of target him by auto leaping.

It would be also nice if pet’s F2 ability was casted instantly after pressing F2, not added to pet’s action queue, which mostly bugs it so it doesn’t trigger and gets riddiculous cd. Also please make drakes to auto face targeted enemy when casting F2.

As always, I love watching your videos, and this one is as good as others. You’re my favourite warrior
One question about your new build: have you tried Destruction of the Empowered? Instead of III, V you could try V, VIII, you still have almost perm swiftness in your build.
Blacktide
We saw you were so bored there, so we decided to have some fun with you there! Maybe it was rude, but hey, we had a lot of fun trying to survive surrounded by all those thieves, necros and mesmers. And right, our ball was too slow to catch all those thieves and we were lacking of a leader to command, but I will try to convince some ppl for tommorow, maybe we could fight some 5 v 5 then. We will be prepared!
Blacktide
Sorry to everyone who was ganked by us on Obsidian Sanctum yesterday. You should convince your server mates to go down from respawn point!
Also thanks for duels on arena, I hope there would be more 5v5+ fights than only duels in the future.
Blacktide
It would be easier if there wasn’t 80+ dzagonur blob running around on our border.
Blacktide
+1
That would be nice.
Blacktide
Yeah, there were some nice fights on Vabbi BL. Vabbi even gathered over 20 ppl group in garrison. Sadly you tried to break in while we were fighting with DLs at lord room, you had enough time to take towers and camps around instead.
Blacktide
Thanks. We screwed a little bit in Hills, we could win that one. About numbers, I think we had ~40 ppl at the beginning and finished with ~25. Hope to meet you again on the battlefield, don’t get bored just because of points.
no pics attached

What a pity. You got excited by killing group of 30 Blacktide players after 3 tries, then making a video about it. You just forgot that you were wiped 4 times after that.
INC at least were uploading compilation of fights, where BT zerg was really outnumbering them, usually 3:1 and more. Do I have to remind you, that mostly it was your guild that was on those movies dying?

Do I hear a crying lone roamer? Invite some friends, take some camps and we will find you.
Oh, and nice try on saturday night by RoS with 4 omegas inside our keep on EB. Never thought that you could raise a 30+ zerg at 5 a.m. Sleep is for the weak!

Thanks, Valerith. I’ve added the info for Crossfire and Concussion Shot for now. If anyone would like to put in some testing time for that, it’d be appreciated. Else, I’ll put it on my backlog of things to do.
My testing of Crossfire and Concussion Shot.
Blacktide
Crossfire/ Concussion Shot
Your foe starts bleeding when you are ~30° aside from where he is facing. Concussion Shot’s stun starts working on 90° and more.
Blacktide
You can use sword’s 2 and 3 skill, dagger’s 4 skill, shortbow’s 3 skill and Lightning Reflexes to evade while being immobilized (dodge doesn’t work while you are immobilized).
Trait that gives vigor while using heal works for every healing spring’s pulse.
Whirling Defense doesn’t reflect projectiles when your foe is inside bubble.
When you chase your enemy and both of you have the same movement speed, if you try to stun him with hilt bash (gs 5) you will probably miss, even if you can still hit him with autoattack, because it’s animation roots you for a while.
Blacktide
IMO we won’t see any huge changes, so let’s think about some minor improvements like:
- Crippling Shot (SB 4): Let it cripple for 5 sec instead of 3, and put 3 stacks of bleeding instead of 1.
- Sharpened Edges (Trait): it stacks 1sec bleedings on crit. How about 2sec bleedings? As far as I remember, warrior’s trait stacks 3sec bleedings.
- Rapid Fire (LB 2): It shoots 10 arrows, it’s casting time is 5sec. I suggest to reduce number of arrows to 8, and reduce casting time to 3,5 sec, but summary damage should be same as now.
I’m still thinking about changes for other weapons/skills/traits. What do you think about it?
Blacktide
Right now I find survival utilities the most useful. Combination of muddy terrain, quickening zephyr, lightning reflexes and entangle gives you great survi, even when you’re glass cannon build. If you combine it with Natural Vigor and Primal Reflexes traits, you get pretty decent evading mechanism. It works perfectly against thiefs if you use SB as primary weapon.
