Guild Wars 2

So the only reason I love Ranger is because of the pets, it seems pretty useless to play Ranger without pets. So basically I have a shortbow + Axe/Horn setup, and I wondered how I can maximize my pet’s potential. I have a brown bear, and a raven.

And the final question is, is it worth it? How good is beastmastery in front of more bow damage etc.?

Might want to check the ranger forum for this topic or post there, more concentrated interest there on the subject.
