Guild Wars 2

The rally mechanic appears to be broken/bugged. When I killed my enemy’s pet, I didn’t get a rally. Everywhere else in PvE Guild Wars this would rally me (off anything that’s not a critter).

You can only rally off other players and svanir/chieftain.

You can’t rally off pets in WvW so I’m not sure where you got this idea. I’m pretty sure rangers would be a detriment to their team more than anything if this were possible.

Since when was PvP determined by WvW? It’s always been the other way around. PvP gets determined from PvE and WvW gets determined from PvP. That’s how it works, therefore I should be able to rally from pets.

Maybe PvE is determined from PvP with just extras added in.

Either way, you can’t rally from pets, minions, illusions, clones, elementals, summons, anything else.

Deal with it.

1. All of the things you list fall under the category of Pets.
2. PvE isn’t determined from PvP
3. Dealing with it = informing people via the forum, i.e. this.

worth noting: traited vengeance can rally a warrior off flash golem/wurm/rock dog
Not working with ranger pets because they don’t really die but start following the ranger with 0 hp.

Dealing with it isn’t informing people that you think it’s a “bug” when you know that it’s not.

Also, can you prove that PvE isn’t determined from PvP? Because as far as ANET seems to know, E-Sports is the major big thing and that PvE Balance is being affected by skill changes because of PvP Balance.

Also, I know they all count as pets. I was just adding emphasis to it.

It’s intentional. Rallying is designed to be very easy in PvE because why not? It’s fun and forgives players for biting off more mobs than they can chew.

In PvP, it would be very frustrating to down another player and then see him get up because your jagged horror (that got summoned automatically from a minor trait that you couldn’t avoid) just happened to get hit by AoE at the wrong time.

Don’t be offended by the people in the forum; they know how frustrating it would be if rallying worked the way you suggest it should. It’s better to ask if something is intentional or not than to just assume that it’s bugged.
