Guild Wars 2

My idea is that rangers should be able to stow pets in combat and in return receive some sort of buff based on the type pet that is put away. This would allow rangers who are not pet based to be able to put away their pet instead of having to worry about losing damage or other utilities when their pet dies.

Why should Rangers be able to dismiss their unique class ability for a bonus if none of the other classes can do that?

There are warrior traits that reward you for maintaining full adrenaline, mesmer traits that reward you for not shattering your illusions, plenty of ele traits that only take effect in one element… need I continue?

Yes, and that’s not really relevant to a Ranger whose unique ability is passive.
