Ranger traits + utility skills.
while I agree that yes, many of these traits are underwhelming, the main disadvantage rangers with pets have in sPvP is that pets cannot attack and move at the same time. Fix this, and rangers will be by far the most balanced class in sPvP

That is certainly a problem, but it isn’t nearly the only issue with the class. Most of their weapons are either underpowered or wonky. And (as the OP stated) Rangers tend to pick the exact same utilities due to the abundance of useless ones. At the moment, there are literally 2 decent Ranger builds. That is completely unacceptable in a game supposedly about choice.

only two viable builds for sPvP, true, mainly as you said, to traits/skills not really viable for the kind of PvP that is sPvP.
HOwever, many of these abilities are invaluable in PvE, where pets shine a little more. However…pets need to attack and move at the same time.
