Guild Wars 2

Hello. Let me preface this with the fact that I do not want to get rid of the ranger pet. Ranger is conceptually everything that I have wanted in a class: nature-themed, pets, and melee.

That being said I was curious if anyone has heard anything about potential changes to ranger pets such as having more control/potentially a smaller pet trait line or some other mode of customization.

I want to stay ranger but in the current system I am no more attached to my pet than swapping out a utility skill. Engy is starting to look tempting to level before the patch if I don’t have much to look forward to.

Thanks!

No news regarding changing how pets works. So far it looks like the Druid won’t be changing how pets words.

They have said that every specialization will change the class mechanic, or at the very least, change the way it works.

I’m hoping the add more control over pets. their excuse in the past has been that it would be “too confusing for new players” however as far as it seems, specializations is something you do later in the game (probably level 80).

I wasn’t even thinking about the specialization to be honest. I was thinking the opposite actually. Maybe if someone goes druid the pet mechanic will stay close to what it is now but with it’s own added bonuses (staff, more nature magic, etc.)

If someone were to stay ranger however there could be more customization in your pet.

They said there would be pros and cons to choosing to go into a specialization

+1 for new pets

Sorry but no word yet. We do know that specialization will change how the proffesor mechanic works or give you something entirely different. Since the video showed a ranger with a pet I’m guessing we will get some kind of change to how pets work. Maybe infuse our pets with the power of nature or channel some kind of ancient animal spirit like the non animal spurits.

There is no info yet about what we can do with pets but we do know it will be something different.
