Druid Pets
Out of the fiv new ranger pets (druid is not required to get them), only the smokescale and fire wyvern are the ones who have the issue. The bristlebacks f2 is an effect that applies bleed for the next few seconds and the lightning wyvern charges at their enemies to perform the skill (i havent tried the tiger so i don’t know)
And out of the two, the fire wyvern is really the only egregious one. the smokescale is already in melee combat and it’s f2 skill places a field where it evades attacks, making it more ideal for melee enemies anyway because ranged enemies have a tendency to move (friggin itzel archers).
the fire wyvern, however, has the issue that when it flies into the air and performs it’s attack, the wyvern is unattackable, making enemies move towards you (assuming solo). on top of that, once those enemies move, they can quite easily escape the ring of fire, making it nigh-unusable on any target unless you want to risk wading into melee and not dodging for the duration of the firefield. Making this f2 targetable would go a long way to make it usable.
The Fire wyvern might be useful if it came over to you and burned the area around you. Then you could use it for melee support or to make creatures that get too near you either move off or be damaged.
Be careful what you ask for

Hi just noticed that the new pets for druid don’t go to target to use the f2 skill like other pets hope this is just a bug. If not please make it so they at least act like the other pets and go to target to use skill.
The thing you are talking about it actually related to two pets and that’s the smokescale and the fire wyvern. Their f2 skills are different in that they are cast at wherever the pet is so if the pet is not next to an enemy then it’s just a waste.
I’ve use Fire Wyvern when it’s fighting a group then hit F2 and it will fly around that group and create the fire field. I noticed the fire field is always created in the spot it’s in when you hit F2.

Pets are bugged in the beta. check out Ranger forum.
I don’t understand how this is a problem. Personally, I find it to be a feature.

If you think this is bad my ranger pet decided to do off and didn’t come back.
The pet skills vanished except for the unstow button, which didn’t work. I couldn’t change pets cause the management button was missing too.
Very strange being on a petless ranger :/
