This is the old traitline, just check the traits, i am sure the original flavor would work perfectly in current meta. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trait_Guide_(ranger)

And being able to stow the pet and keep it stowed during combat does not retract from the fact the ranger is a pet class. You still have the pet and call upon it when you actually needed so is not an hindrance the rest of the time. What define a pet class is to have class mechanics embedded into the pet otherwise they are called Minis in this game. There is no server issues with pets, otherwise the necromancer or the engineer would not get permanent pets. What you ask is already present on the Soulbeast when it merges. The buffs are not there but sure you get what i mean.

OR the devs could do a proper full and in depth rework and to restore the class to the original design flavor. Personally i don't want more garbage thrown over the existing garbage, you can see plenty of examples with the pets. It doesn't matter how many they add they all become useless because the core design is not there.

Is the damage high and consistent enough thou? There is nothing worse than wasting 60 minutes in each champion like you are fighting an Elden Ring boss every time you face one sponge champ.

The lower skill floors are the most used classes: Guardian, necro for WvW and thief for roaming if there is still any. For PVP there is no decent build better reroll. For WvW it is only recommended the Druid Healbot. Trying to play any other builds in wvw is just hurting yourself at this point.

It seems you are contradicting yourself there, Is it good so it can push the soulbeast even higher or is it bad? The last time i checked the only realistic competitive build there ever was for healbot druid for raids and it was barely at that and only because of the alacrity. LB is bad because of outside of the bursting it lack damage. I don't get why the 2 charge hasn't been applied to PvE already. Probably the devs completely forgot the ranger even exists.

Ranger just need to be able to keep the pet stowed during combat if the ranger chooses to like the pet engineer can do, what you are asking is what is was supposed to be the Soulbeast (before all the nerfs). Any other specialization just suffer of having that ridiculous bad AI companion having it around all the time.

Lol i came to forums to ask about the weapon i guess i got my answer. So let's see next expansion.

I guess it would be tolerable if some pets weren't locked behind meta events like the smokescale or the turtle. But yeah I second the request to make them account bound.

What the spirits need is to undo all the nobody asked changes and rework them from the original design: Minions which follow the ranger around and offer a unique passive and active skill and are limited by their hp bar . I get Anet devs may be pushing this AoE well things instead minions because they are taxing on the servers, but that was one of the unique skills ranger had to sepparate itself from other classes and not to feel like a bland warrior class #3. Even if they limit the number of active spirits a ranger can deploy at the same time to one it would be still great if they could bring the mobile sprits back. They would need some tweaks to make them inline with 2024 Gw2 but still better than current pulsing AoE wells they are now.

Although new pets it a thing to keep the class fresh i would love the old pets to have a rework so they are more inline with 2024 gw2, i really hate when i am locked and forced into one specific set of pets because the rest of them do cause more problems than actually helping.

Yes, too much screen noise. The devs should realize the game does not handle transparency very smoothly and this is a problem in a mmo is all skills do that. It is not only untamed, but the greenish hue thing actually makes it worse.

Please, it's 2024 and we still have to deal with the screen noise that aura brings. Let it fade away after few seconds, there is no reason why we can't use properly the cosmetic auras.

I guess until the devs fix it, like the CD reset for dogs F1 which was fixed promptly as well.

This has been explained many many times, the only mitigation or solution is to rework the stealth.
