Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if anyone knew if pets are ever going to be tied to their owners stats? I just hit 80 with my ranger recently and it bothers me that aside from putting points in beastmastery I can’t influence my pets stats. Other than getting another pet I guess. It also seems pretty unfair that someone like a phantasm mesmer doesn’t have to build offense, and can just keep running away while his phantasms, which he didn’t have to gear for, do all his damage. It would probably be a big help to necros too, but I’m not sure they need it anymore.

Thank you for reading!

Areanet has never stated or hinted of pets scaling off their owners stats. Nice attempt on trying to mask your whine post though.

The only thing the pet shares with its master is agony resistance.

Well a pets stats scale up and down to match your level/level scalling.

Other than that you ‘adjust’ their attributes by choosing different pets. If you want higher precision you choose a bird, if you want higher vitality you choose a bear etc.

Don’t think I’m really masking anything, I’m pretty blatantly whining. As a ranger main, I’d love it if I could build tanky and my pet would be tankier, etc. It’s just hard to keep up with interviews, red posts, etc. and I was wondering if it’d been brought up
