Or speed up the animation/cast time. Or OR OR - [Live Fast](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Live_Fast "Live Fast") could activate at the start of casting a Beast ability instead of after.

How exactly was I “whining”? Just giving my opinion. I really don’t give a shit either way, it’s just a game.

Get bent.

And ignore armor and remove foes protection on Cast. Unblockable? Not, that’s too much even with the block spam is going on now in the game.

 

But if all classes would get as much damage as 1k armor that skill would be “the one to dodge” when casted like it should be. No crit would do with 2500 power around 5K. 2secs rooted channeled skill every 30 secs when merged.

 

Even with quickness you have like one second to react. So it’s I think is just perfect.

I dont get the unblockabke and remove protection part of the point you are making. Could you please elaborate?

 

[anduriell.6280]

No unblockable = means foes get counter play (other than walk away/dodge)

Remove protection + ignore armor = all classes (aka heavy, medium, light) gets to get the same damage.

Remove protection = firebrand, warrior, revenant, chrono, ele, engie have protection spam. This level the field for all clases as **soulbeast can’t rip boons”**

 

As I said 2 secs rooting(as in place) channeled skill with such telegraphed animation in half a minute cd when your are merged must be hard as kitten.

 

Too many constrains to do < 3k damage in wvw

It's easily the worst of all the beast skills and would be considered a mediocre skill on any other class.

[Darkened.4076]

Worldly Impact is exactly what it sounds like. A nuke skill, as high risk, high reward. The root is warranted for the amount of burst damage available. Yes its hard to get off, but that's where skill comes in. Especially with some of the combos that can be pulled off with it.

 

I agree with the previous post that pets in general right now should be higher on the 'look at' list.

Also, something that has completely perplexed me and which I see as a bigger issue, is why in the world there is no actual 'ranged' beast mode skill in soul beast mode. Every single skill is literally a radius, melee ranged skill. Its like the word 'ranger' doesn't even apply.

targetable AoE or a leap to target

 

^ I swear if its changed to lock on leap without a damage nerf .... much happiness

 

[ChartFish.1308]

IMO it should be a damn blast finisher, not a leap. Makes no sense

Merged Iboga, Jacaranda, and Spiders have ranged skills.

Two suggestions maybe;

 

-Shave the power coefficient a bit and give it a 300 Range leap.

 

-Make the animation faster - Lower the cast time.

[Lahmia.2193]

No need for a leap, just remove the rooting.

[Sarge shot Grif.6450]

I just want to be able to move while casting it, doesn't have to be a leap or anything.
