Guild Wars 2

One thing we need fix or whatever is..When our pet is dead, we shouldn’t be able to click a sigl/any ability that makes Pet do X thing..Its a HUGE pain in the kitten when we are doing a hard fight, pet dies..And we hit say..Search and Rescue and nothing happens..The ability shouldn’t be used up for pet being dead..

I understand your annoyance with this, but it’s the same for any class. Elementalists have skills that require a target to actually to anything but of course you can cast it regardless of whether or not you have a target/there are enemies around – just nothing happens. So I understand the annoyance, but in a game with pseudo-action combat it becomes problematic if you start to restrict skills usage by factors like that.

As far as I know, that skill works even when the pet is defeated. You were probably out of range. As far as Protect me goes, at least it’s a stun break.
