Guild Wars 2

I know this is more a suggestion, but it would fix almost all the ranger balance issues (PvE vs PvP) at once.

Fact is, in 1on1 situations (PvP/WvW) rangers deal tons of damage while in PvE they deal to less (compared to other classes).

example:
The fact that pets dont scale with armor pets, makes condition rangers with cats very strong in 1on1 situations, because the cats still deal 30% of normal classes berserker damage, while the ranger completely focus on condition damage and survivability.
This means a condition ranger with pet deals full condition damage plus 30% berserker damage and because of the sun spirit they dont even need prezision to apply their conditions. Only condition damage is needed, the rest can be used for vita, thoughness or healing power, without any loss in DPS.

In PvE and large scale battles on the other hand, the pet dies within second in strong aoe damage, making them useless and reducing the rangers damage=efficiency by 30%.

suggestion:
Let pets scale with ranger stats.
for cats this would be: 120% precision, 100% Power, 120% ctir damage, 60% vita, 60% thoughness, 75% condition damage….
for bears 50% precision, 120% power, 50% crit damage, 120% vita, 120% thoughness, 50% condition damage,…
for dog:s 75% precision, 120% Power, 50% crit damage, 100% vita, 120% thoughness, 75% condition damage,…
for spiders: 100% precision, 50% power, 50% crit damage, 100% vita, 75% thoughness, 120% condition damage,…

Thes are only some example values and needs to be balanced on their own, but this change would close the gap between hybrid condition builds and direct damage builds and put them on the same level. And if they are at the same level, they can be balanced to the state of other classes, without making one of them to strong or to weak.
