Kitrace Starbird.1742

Not sure if already mentioned but I don't have time right now to scroll through the long list. Here's hoping ANET's reading all of them. Of the 2 or 3 pages of comments i've skimmed none so far mention that NONE of the traits offer any incentive to buff either the spec weapon, the spec mechanic, or buff the new utilities. Druid has primal echoes to lower staff c/ds and daze on weapon swap to staff and Cele shadow and GoTL which buff (i.e. incentivize player to use) the cele avatar state and skills. It also has a glyph trait. Soulbeast has a stance share trait (weapon trait got cheesed since there was already a dagger trait within WS). I understand that the whole point of Untamed buffs or debuffs the (HAMMER only) weapon but no trait to incentivize using cantrips? Also none of the hammer skills synergize with the pet. All of the other weapons have one skill that affects pet. I've noticed that ranger stats affect the unleashed pet skills, but do not affect regular pet skills. Not sure how I feel about this, part of me feels that ranger stat should (as in always should have been) affect regular pet stats to some degree, but we know that pets are already pigeonholed in their "type" (ferocious, versatile, etc) so I'm not expecting this to change. Would be nice though.... As already mentioned, many of the traits seem really underwhelming from a PvP perspective. And no gap closer with the hammer makes it hard to play. PvP unleashed hammer 2 skill is almost HALF of what it is in PvE. With the amount of aegis/invuls/blocks/blinds that get pooped out by other classes (guardians, looking at you), I'm not sure why Anet seems so hesitant to give rangers nice things in PvP, since it feels like half these skills wouldn't hit anyway. Much agreed about pet control and lackthereof. Wish they could go and make F1-F3 available to ALL ranger specs. Need keybind to recall pet. Also probably would be remiss if I didn't mention that it would be nice to actually be able to see boons/condis on pet without having to click on them....... but that's been on the ranger wishlist since launch, right? Probably a bad time to also ask for fortifying bond to finally be removed from nature magic and baselined to ranger as part of the core pet mechanic...... Overall, I want to like the spec, and I'm very appreciative of finally getting some access to boon strip/convert. I also like where Cal was going with saying the goal of Untamed was to get rangers into the melee team fight for PvP but right now, I'm not seeing it happen with what we have today. Unleashed skills for all our weapons, please! Ele has 20+ skills for every weapon, right??

I'm still stuck from yesterday's bug out. ANet, please wait to patch until after the AT is over, this isn't the first time stuff like this has happened!

Most of these went through for me, but I'm stuck on the dagger. As previous posters have noted, all of the dagger deeds are done, but the top level summary isn't tracking them as complete and preventing the last step. Hope this gets fixed at some point, I've submitted 2 bug reports in game.
