Guild Wars 2

if u choose 2 of the same pets and use the f2 ability it goes on cooldown on both pets..

example white raven and raven

That’s probably intended. It’s the same as having the same weapon set swap and those skills are still on CD.

This is probably intended to force more ‘build diversity’.

lol if its intended then its totally stupid and dont force more build diversity cause it cripple the player

and when its intended why is there no note in the patchnotes anet??? come on isnt that hard to be honest.

Not allowing a player to spam the same skill twice is cripping build diversity… interesting

so using 2 skills with high cooldown is spam? i guess ur answer was also spam? he it cripple build diversity, cause pets are squishy and pet change has a cooldown + that stupid traits in bm line is crippling.

trying to use the same skill consecutive more than once is spamming it twice :)

but yea, skills of the same name share a cool down to prevent spam, otherwise everyone would be running x2 blur frenzy or double marks, and considering not many pets share the same f2, it probably wasn’t worth the time to make an exception from a coding type of view

That is incorrect. It appears to be on CD but it actually is not.

Funny, this already happens with Heartseeker, which at 50% health does more damage than a raven’s slash.

Thief are special tho, spamming 222 and 3333 is there by Design

if it just appears as on cd then im asking why that pet isnt using the ability after petswap and hammering on f2?

i think 2 pets with own set on skills and 2x the same weaponset is somehow different.

yah lol eura proved me wrong! Best ranger NA so gotta believe him..

Because you are correct.

Before cd’s would reset on pet swap, but they patched it some time ago where you can’t use two od the same f2 types in a row.

As a way to tone down ranger “burst”.
