Let Loose is a pretty good way to kind of reference a ranger using Warrior skills on GW1 Bunny Thumpers by letting GW2 ranger take on a Warrior-ish mechanic of making weapon swapping important.
Would be nice if some other options were there to enhance the Unleashed swapping between pet and ranger. Maybe an energy sweet spot bar, time spent in ranger advances one side, time in pet advances the other. Swapping Unleashed at the right time gave Unleashed Ambush access. Kind of a harmony of energy and nature sub-mechanic for the spec.
Still kind of like the idea of building up energy while in Unleashed ranger, then submit energy to pet that causes pet to explode in power or something. Current pet skills are kind of boring press and forget. Extra mechanics on them seem nice in theory, but are tedious in practice. What kind of inhumane reaction speed do you need to cc someone for 1.5ish seconds, unleash swap to pet, then press a button for the pet to execute an attack that may be deployed outside of the window of the cc? The pet's AI aside, that's at least three buttons in for CC, pet unleash, pet skill in a normal CC window.
Why is there weird condition application on unleashed pets/untamed overall? Conversion sub-theme?
