Enviormental AOE vs Pets
You didn’t get the memo? Ranger are NEVER considered in updates. If they are ever mentioned in relation to mechanics, etc it’s ‘who cares? everyone plays warrior anyway’.

Didn’t I just read they are immune to agony now? That’s got to account for something positive?

With the ‘Pets take the owner’s AR’ change, Pets were effectively immune to agony, or at least as much as the Ranger was. So it doesn’t really matter much.
They’d still get oneshot by pretty much every boss in Fractals because of their high damage, same goes for roughly 50% of all other bosses in the game. I don’t see anything that’ll change that fact.

lol rangers, didnt you get the memo to reroll warrior or any other class? Rangers suck, pets suck and will always suck and even more with the upcoming patch nerf on endurance regen.
I suggested something like this once where basically all AI for all classes should “dodge” when the master does, and gain a 3/4 (dodge roll frame length) buff that basically would look like the Mesmers Distortion (just so it has a pretty obvious tell). I think it’s honestly pretty necessary. In PvP too, battle of Khylo as an MM, you dodge the treb but your entire build/set of pets dies anyways just because they’re stupid.

No, there was an update where the pet now SHARE the agony resistance of the ranger, before that a ranger could have 55 AR and the pet would die in a blink.
Lately Anet is considering pets on the updates, like in the Golem world event pets are immune to the electric field, let’s see if Anet keep with the good work or we’ll get more disapointments.

Last nights stream mentioned that only player controlled characters will be affected by agony = pets/minions don’t take agony damage.
BUT, that still leaves pets and minions lackluster because they will still die from a fart by the bigger bosses AoEs and cleaves.
Oh nice, I didn’t watch the stream, well … at least one more positive feature for pets :P
