Lord Trejgon.2809 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 personally I find the keybind of the 2 skill very weird in that screenshot, otherwise I was thinking that maybe they were hinting at staff rework? but good catch on the health number of that drake 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A (which would be alt) + T is a very odd binding for a weapon skill- could be hinting at Ally Targeting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â If we go full on conspiracy, I agree, A+T = Ally Target Not sure if I love Ranger being highlighted in the balance patch preview though--historically it hasn't ended well....

Soilder.3607 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 WvW Perspective: Ally Targetting on Astral Whisp would solve the problem of the skill being unusable in zergs as long as they also increase the radius to 240. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, if Untamed was actually this and we transformed into any pet on our list and played as the four legged animal. I'd be ok with the spec entirely and would not care what it can and can't do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozrh.6352 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Right now Druid staff skill 1 and 2 requires a target and has a red bar under the skill while on the bar. The one on the screenshot doesn't have it so I think they removed target requirements. It may mean the skills targeting works differently, or that these are completely redesigned. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a self target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I'm gonna buy into this conspiracy. It's a bit of a stretch but I can get behind the logic and after them doing it to staff AA so recently, I can see this being the next logical step. I want it so badly I'm gonna believe it. Alt+T really does seem like an oddly specific keybind when everything else is keybound to default keys. It's definitely a sign 🤓.

scerevisiae.1972 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) the pet skills all have keybinds, doesn't this mean druid will be getting untamed-level pet control? Edited September 13, 2022 by scerevisiae.1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the ranger getting stats and skills from the pet, the pet gets stats and skills from the ranger. Heck, make it a cavalry spec where the ranger rides the pet as a combat mount (may require size adjustments for some pets). On the OP: Yeah, I could see the druid pet penalty being reversed. Untamed seems to have got away without having a tradeoff, after all. Maybe sometime we'll see core ranger and elementalist getting the core rev treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
