I’m sorry, but how would that even work on classes that already have more than two F skills? On top of that, forcing your class mechanic onto other players sounds like absolutely bad design. But even if it was something like a bundle that others can “pick up,” the first argument still stands.

I’d rather have Anet work on improving the existing pet mechanics instead, to be honest.

Edit: okay, you added stuff.

Merging with pet: been a lot of discussion on this already in regards to soulbeast. General consensus is that it’s wasted time and people are not fond of the idea of it basically being a WoW shaman. We don’t need to copy WoW.

Pet charge up + stat increase: BM traitline already does the latter. Don’t know what the point of a new ski would be when there’s existing ones that suck or are still bugged (Anet, fix plz).

Pet invis: already have a pet that does that. Would invalidate that pet if all pets could do it.

Pet portals: how would that work?

Pet aoe heal: sylv hound gives regen on its howl, I believe. And isn’t there a trait that heals nearby allies on swap?

Trade positions with pet: been suggested as part of the soulbeast’s beastmode merge mechanic, where you shadowstep to the pet’s location when merging. Currently, it only does it the other way around, so it would add some interesting gameplay opportunities.
