Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, as a thief main who’s getting back into WvW more, I was wondering if having a mini-pet will give me away while I’m trying to sneak around in stealth.

I know my mini doesn’t stealth, but I was wondering if maybe they aren’t seen by enemy players regardless? Because I don’t think I’ve ever seen an enemy player with a mini out. Can’t find the answer anywhere. Anybody have any ideas?

I think the reason you’ve never seen an enemy player with one is because they don’t have a slot so you do deposit collectibles and they poof, and you get too many collectibles in WvW.

Well I mean maybe? But by that logic I’d never see anybody with a mini anywhere. I use an invisible bag for my mini, and also for organizing stuff I want to stay at the bottom of my inventory when I compact. I’m sure I’m not the only one..

There’s a good thief on Maguuma who takes his quaggan everywhere. People actually end up spamming aoe at the worst places because of course he’s actually several hundred distance units away from the quaggan. I’d call it an advantage, personally.

If everyone has a mini out, the zerg appears twice as large and will increase skill lag on enemy computers.

Hm. Now that you mention it Nevir, my mini never does keep pace with me like other NPCs (Thieves Guild in particular) do. The only time he’ll be able to catch up is if I’m staying still for a Shadow Refuge, in which case they know I’m prolly in there anyway.

And if declan is right instead it’s a non-issue.

I guess I’ll start WvW-ing with my mini out and see how it goes. I’m really amused by the idea of the griffin drawing enemy fire while I sneak up to stab people, and being actually combat useful even though he’s not supposed to be.
