Put a shorter leash on the ranger pets… we were playing on the sky hammer map and a pet followed me all the way around (and I mean all the way around) the backside of one of the end points and brought me down while the ranger never left the point, I mean really?

And what is with dead pets being able to rez rangers in a down state, the pet is DEAD… if the pet dies so should the rangers ability to be raised…

The Ranger’s #3 downed skill “Lick Wounds” revives the Ranger’s pet to full AND starts assisting the Ranger’s revival… if that is what you are referring to.

In before OP is told to learn to play.

Pets have been hidden due to rising Player complaints.

that is what I am referring too and I see that that would be nice and useful if the pet was alive when you went down, but if the pet was dead first the ranger should be sol.

how hard is it to just kill the pet if its bothering you that much?

they are pathetically weak… no one ever traits for pets in spvp lol

if you are having an issue with one of the weakest classes in the game, you might need to re-think what you are doing lol

It’s one of the most overpowered downed skills to be sure, but if you honestly couldn’t finish off the Ranger in the 5 or so seconds before that skill is even AVAILABLE for them to use, you probably have other issues to deal with than the downed Ranger.

it was one of those situations where you had one hit left, but it happens a lot… and weakest? they are perfectly balanced or so we are told, and I do play ranger too guys and I have no issue with the changes I have suggested.

Not to mention the pet can hardly really hit anything other than a statue to begin with…

Losing to a ranger is a sign that you need to improve. Losing to a ranger’s pet is a sign that you should immediately stop doing PvP. Those things are borderline useless.

Yeah it’s pretty bad lol, And ranger mains will still complain that their pets just aren’t powerful enough. I’m an engi main that switched to ranger for PvE farming and the difference was night and day easy mode. Pets literally did all the work for me as far as aggroing and distraction and healing my lazy backside while I was down. I just strafe-buttoned, pew-pewed with longbow and swapped pets when one looked like it might go down.

BUT: You can apply conditions to the downed ranger and cc the pet while it’s trying to heal so maybe experiment with that. If something bugs you , you have to concentrate on squashing it, to mix a metaphor…

lol, re-read the message guys, at no point did I say it killed me. I said it got me down, but the focus was to be on how far away from the ranger it got, and the other on the dead pet rez, I love how everyone goes straight to you must suck as a player. Typical forum chatter.

You do not suck as a player but PvP might not be your forte.

Their defense, offense, pathing and F2 casting time are all subpar which leaves the leash range as the sole good thing about them when used in a PvP environment. I’m massacring pets en masse without noticing due to how insignificant those things become when wandering into AoE. Single target damage wipes them out within a few hits even without berserker gear, leaving the ranger to stare at the pet switch CD while contemplating uninstalling the game.

Whatever class you rolled, just keep moving. The pet stops to cast the attack animation loop but as you run out of its attack range, it has to reposition itself and start over. Over and over.

The pet rezz is unreliable and bugs out on uneven surfaces, making the pet sit on the character’s face and do nothing. Sometimes happens on even surfaces as well. The healing seems to be average.

Compare that to guardians who can place a circle that damages foes and heals allies at the same time. The healing output is great. Or the elementalist vapor form providing a three seconds escape during which you can get behind allied zerg lines or gates, escaping death. I find it odd that no one complains about those.

Let’s hope that one day pets get brought up to par with other classes’ signature mechanic at which point their leash range will inevitably get nerfed.
