Guild Wars 2

I’ve running Celestial Elementalist and a Snow Leopard hit me for 5k with it’s basic attacks.

Pre-patch I’ve never seen pets hit so hard. I’ve seen a Leopard 1-shot a thief as the thief locked the ranger into a Backstab spike. The thief said he got hit 10k by a Slash.

I don’t mind the ranger hitting hard but I draw the line when pets are hitting 5-10k.

Is this a bug or are feline pets intended to hit like trucks?

thats a fully traited + signet BM pet.
The pet will hit ridiculously hard at the cost of the player hitting like a wet noodle (unless if condition build).

How to counter this build?
Kill pet THEN player.

Any further reason for QQ now that counter has been given?
No

Probably the most perfect answer i’ve seen on this forum ever in the history of anything

Other classes hit like freight trains = working as intended
A ranger manages to hit hard in the day and age and people wonder if it’s a “bug”…

going to start crying now? ranger should already have a PET hitting well from the beginning and should have been kept that way beating too to compensate the damage of Ranger .. so please do not cry

Perfect answer?

Any half-decent ranger will swap pets when the pet is at 10% (or before), not to mention http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Healing_Spring will make the pet hard to damage. Pet will never die, the ranger will use conditions and do decent damage while the second pet is eating you. There is no counter. You die, end of story.

Note : I am talking about BM condi ranger, not every single ranger in existence.

Ranger makes a decent damage? and why are so few using Ranger? beyond the Ranger should hit more with longbow and then short arc please stop crying already said …. the damage of PET had to be 5k for more, not only the felines, canines also more to compensate for the easy target that is Ranger

Eh, I thought the pet was bugged when i started playing my bm ranger.
Birds are critting for 7k (double strike each hitting, if crit, for 2k upwards of 3.5-3.8 k with only the extra crit damage trait which is 30%), Non crit double strike is 1.5k so not a bug i guess, BUT HOLY HELL THEY HIT HARD LMAO
return of the bunker bm?
Edit: they upped the f2 damage as well as lowering its cooldown all the while making it more responsive. Good times:D
Edit: good luck killing pet unless its 2/3 v1 lol

they did not buff the pet damage in any way
The pet F2 for birds, cats, dogs, drakes and whatnot has had same damage since the “old nerf”
If you think BM bunker got a massive nerf you were a fool
BM Bunker was and is, as always, viable. It is a 1vX build, and unless the enemy knows how to counter you, you will be a massive pita to them.
Birds can hit harder then 7k
Cats maxes out at around 8k
Drakes can hit for over 11k

- BM ranger since before nerf and todays patch

f2 for birds is over 4k *2, It wasnt that high before, also 30 sec cd down to 18
IDK whats up, but it certainly feels like something has changed.
Playing BM wasnt this easy yesterday lol

yes it was, just gotta know how to boost it the right way…

It is just a matter of L2Ranger

Im not doing anything different today vs yesterday, but im seeing big numbers everywhere.
Pet is hitting even harder on downed state players, got a few 8k plus hits

It is a bug. BM is bugged and will be fixed tomorrow
