Guild Wars 2

ANet have always pretended pets don’t exist when designing boss encounters but this time it’s beyond a joke.

Pets cannot get on boxes, pets are idiots, and pets can’t be put away.

This means groups with 1 ranger have to deal with a ton of golem shields.

Fix this ANet, and in future by default make pets not trigger negative effects for encounters, it’s beyond a joke.

Its alright, they die by the first stage.
Whoop, there goes half my damage!

In a game that relies around dodging, having a class that can’t dodge is a joke. No matter how well you time and micro, AoE will wreck your pets regardless.

I remember when I started playing this game, and I was talking with my buddy…
“Oh I really like my ranger! The long bow and the great sword are my favourite weapons, but the pet is a little annoying at times…”
“Why don’t you try a warrior then?”, he suggested.
“Uh… I don’t know, I guess I will stick to my ranger by now”.

If only I knew…
Well, now I am leveling a warrior lol

It’s just such an obvious thing and so easy to not screw up. They just need a post-it note on the designers desk, “don’t kitten rangers over for no reason”.

Don’t worry, once people realize how much DPS the ranger lost with this patch, they won’t be in your group in the future anyway.
