The Ranger has a button, “stow,” which puts away his/her pet and allows him/her to run around without a pet for the time being.

At the moment, if your pet is stowed and you are hit (by any damage, even falling damage), the pet immediately springs into action without being summoned.

I would like the button to work as written.

I play a Ranger and this is the most annoying thing ever. My pet is always in the way so I stow him, but if I take any fall damage or get hit while running through an area, guess what, my pet comes out.

Maybe have it set up that if you stow your pet while it is in peaceful mode that it will not appear until you ‘un-stow’ it. If it’s in hostile mode when stowed then have it appear if attacked (but not for falling damage).

The only time my pet annoys me is when I’m doing the jumping puzzles or vista jumps and my pet is right there where I need to jump so I can’t see. Stow the pet, fall and take damage, and pet pops out again.

I think next time I might swap to one of the small birds and see if it works any better for jumping. Having an option to store your pet for a longer period of time (until you reactive it) might be nice. The argument against this, of course, is that part of your damage as a Ranger comes from your pet.

But I do agree, being able to have your pet stowed while in peaceful mode would be great.
