I’d love to have them as a ranger pet, but guaranteed nerf if that happens though. Heck, that might be a good way to have your issue addressed OP.

Gone to Reddit.

Simeonus – I think they don’t count as they are like any infinitely generating trash mob – no xp/loot? Like event chains that have endless enemies? May be wrong. Do they count as ambient?

I wonder how little a “Mini Pocket Raptor” will be? We we even be able to see it?

It may just be a “pet Pocket Raptor.”

I want one.

If you have enough Vitality and Toughness, you should be able to run through them, dodging every now and again and survive them, until you’ve lost them.

If you’re in full Zerker gear, I have no idea though, as I basically only did HoT in my WvW gear.

I hate having to stop and kill everything, in openworld, too.

Especially as everything respawns so fast.

So, I don’t.

I agree – they would be a very cute mini.

ETA: Oh, it’s a necro.

Well, they would still make a cute mini…

I find it’s better to just stop and kill them. They follow you a long, LONG way, and as some people have no doubt discovered, their attack is actually a ranged attack. This means that jumping up onto higher terrain isn’t always a good way to escape.

They are extremely fragile and so any kind of cleave or AoE attack should take them down nicely. On my Ele, for example, I just run right into the middle of them, drop Sandstorm, then Churning Earth, swap to Fire, Lava Font, and they should all be dead by the time Lava Font wears off.

And if all else fails, use a pet/summon to tank for you while you kill them.

I used to be an Revenant like you, then I took a pocket raptor in the knee.

also, are they hardcoded to not drop loot?

Indeed, seems the little swines don’t even carry any loot at all.

They’re tiny! How could you expect the poor things to carry something big as a greatsword for some player to loot it from them?

Then again, when you get chest armour from a wolf, you have to wonder if Tyrian animals have an innate ability to harness hammerspace. From all the magic flying around, I would suppose.
