Pet Mechanic is unbearable due to the fact that pets do not add enough value to pvp combat. No ranger pet can sustain normal DPS output on moving targets. Pets tend to be extremely unreliable at mitigating DMG and executing F2 skill. Thus, the pet contribute very tiny portion to the ranger’s overall DPS and utility. Much, much less than 10% and as low as 0% versus certain specialized builds such as PU mesmers, and BS thieves.
The way to balance the game-play for ranger is to significantly improve pets in the area of utility, DMG mitigation and DPS. This must be carried out in incremental stages to let the current meta absorb the changes. The ranger desperately need viable pets to be competitive in the current meta.
