Not sure if this has came up in the past, but I have been super frustrated with Ranger Pets.

I feel as though Ranger pets are overpowered, their skills always hit me, and when I kill the pet the Ranger just send another after me LEAVE ME ALONE.

I feel as though pets should be made to be more inconsequential in WvW.

Yeah, don’t get me started on those kitten bears that can tank everything.

Nerf BEARBOW plox.

No they are not overpowered they work just fine and are a major part of the class and when your fighting a ranger try killing the ranger instead of the pet cause when the ranger dies so does the pet

But, if we kills the pets then they will be alone. Makes sense.

How can I when the pet is constantly harassing me, fearing me, pouncing on me, spraying toxic poison gas clouds, etc?!

If the pets really cause you that much trouble then you should probably run everytime you see a ranger, i have had no issues killing rangers solo in WvW

Seriously had 2 rangers on me with their pets, just cycling through them, and every time I got close to the ranger they knocked me back like 50 feet then went invisible. Seriously OP. You must be a god in WvW killar.

I play a guard and that’s a pretty tight build right there.

Until Ranger pets are as strong as Phantasms, they will continue to be a joke.

Phantasms are no problem for me, they have low HP pool, pets are too tanky…

Phantasms don’t bother me too much. I can just draw them together and kill them with one whirl.

You two cannot handle Ranger pets, you might want to seriously reconsider a few things. The problem here is not the Ranger nor the ranger pet(s), it is you.

I’d love to handle their pets if they weren’t knocking me down every 5 seconds and calling in reinforcements. Seriously need to make it so when they die they can’t come back until the ranger WPs.

One of them does upwards of 5k damage to hardened targets, the other can effectively be ignored the entire fight. One of them comes out every 20s or less even after being destroyed, the other requires a lot of traiting to make it even slightly effective. One of them often steals party boons the other doesn’t. One of them can deal damage when destroyed and synergizes with Clone skills, the other has almost no useful synergy with any traits.

There was a time when pets were dangerous but their damage has been significantly reduced. In their current state at best they generate an occasional knockdown.

Is this a joke ? Pets in wvw are near useless, making rangers a class that most consider weak…

I am frankly appalled that you would think Sav and I would openly joke about the perils of having to fight off ranger pets in WvW Fenrir. Appalled!

As a ranger in WvW and PvE, I was rather enjoying the whole “Rangers don’t suck” vibe of this post.
sniff
First time in a long time that we haven’t been considered outcasts. It was but a fleeting moment of joy in a lifetime of being mocked

I just set it all on fire, burn baby burn….

Bearbow says "Shake it off, and Defies Pain", then bam full health, ranger just whaling away on me from max range, HURT PAIN ANGUISH!

Now you tell who more OP Phantasm or BEAR?!

What’s worse is when they also hit you with Barrage right after so you can’t run before the pet rolls back up on you.

Agreed, there should be a long cooldown between bringing out a pet after it gets killed. Realistically, after a pet dies the ranger should have to dig a hole and bury the pet in a cardboard box then morn it for 5-10 weeks before buying a new one from the pet store.

It’s not going to keep rangers from being overpowered but it’s a place to start.

They should definitely allow for death cooldown to be sure. I’ll even accept the ability for the pet to become a dire pet like GW1 if they can work that death CD into the mix.

Beautiful irony.

Special “pet skill” during this time “dirge” you howl for your lost pet and grant regen to yourself and 5 allies for 3 seconds. Skill roots you.

Phantasm by a mile. Most of the time Ranger pets are too busy licking their privates during a fight to be useful. It goes something like this: F2 – “Wonder Twin powers activate!”, the Pet Skill Activate button starts blinking, some random time up to 10s later the pet skill MIGHT go off.

Pet activation is another example of a broken Ranger mechanic.

It’s the flippin’ end times man. Next thing you know the pets might start dropping confusion on us.

Lol, I so have no idea of what is serious and what’s not in this post…
just go me laughing out loud in my office, with my coworkers looking at me weirdly…

Just keep moving, pet is unable to hit moving targets :p

How aboot them pets drop agony on you?

JUST KEEP MOVING HE SAYS????

You never seen spider ranger pet? Immobilize and then spew poison all on my armor. Now my heals 33% less effective!

Then ranger swap to drakehound, drakehound pounce on me….Poison, rooted, pounced, I lay…flailing in the mysts, ranger still wailing away on me.

BOOM downstate, ranger /dance on my body. Corpse jump me, make waterfield on me, pet running around like devilspawn taunting me.

Keep moving he say….

Yep, I say!
Spider will not get to immob you if you’re not staying at one point. Time for it to launch a competency is enough for one player to be well away from the point of impact…
Pet never realizes that the target is no more where it aimed 2 seconds ago… (1 second cast time, plus the time for a very slow projectile to reach its target…)

I’ve noticed an Influx of Bearbow Rangers in this Match-up at least..

Oh man or worse, when fighting these rangers and they go invis on your and you end up hitting their pet, then they come out, tage you from 1500 while swapping in those birds that wreck your face. Jeez man. Seriously Anet, get it together…rangers need some serious nerfing. Unless in dungeons with me, then I let them tank things for me.

Then 10s later like other guy say pet get might!

I try to hide from ranger in zerg, but I am 8ft tall norn and fat. Ranger pet always stalking, panther in stealth BAM outta no where….Drake spewing colored cloud of something at me, Moa…do not get me started on moa, whole zerg dazed – ranger rapid fire wailing away.

Yesterday I finally able to root ranger pet, I hit ranger HE MELTING, I hit again, HE ON FIRE, ranger backing away but still relentless with arrows…back back he goes, HES HEADING FOR WATER. But I used root on pet, now pet coming back and I can’t stop ranger…

He in water, on fire somehow, he downstate! new waterpet spawn, its a shark, SHARK starts healing ranger! I kill shark, ranger still getting healed!

Ranger revive and wipe me, /laugh on me in water, and then pet swapped to rub it in my face…2nd was Bear…HOW BEAR IN WATER?

Any post that argues rangers are overpowered in any aspect of the game, is trolling. If you seriously think rangers are overpowered compared to other proffs, I really have to wonder how much time you have been in wvw.

No I kill trolls fine (cave bridge w.e), Ranger Pet killing me, needs fix/.

Yeah, I got 99 ranger probs but a troll ain’t one.

Well I’ve done ranger in WvW quite a bit and have the battle scars to prove it. Or I did. Being Sylvari means that things grow back just fine. Still bitter about the big dude with the big sword that chopped off my head branches. My pet fixed him right up.

Was that you King?

Bear in water, how was bear in water??? Shark rez better than Ele, ele just die to AoE, not shark…Shark rez from the grave…Then BEAR COMES BACK…..How was bear in teh water?!

Frankly I’m more annoyed that the bear and some others hold their breath for as long as they can. Last i checked only players had re-breathers.

Really? Bears are OP now? Apart from the 0 fight contribution, low DPS and horrible sporadic skill use, am I missing something?

What an outstanding level of idiocy in these forums. So awkward being surrounded by horrible players.

Forget the fact that pets don’t dodge and are Necro Epidemic magnets, they are usually dead during massive WvW fights preventing the Ranger from even using it’s core profession mechanic for a whole minute. Name one profession that has it’s entire profession mechanic and associative weapon / utility skills locked for that long, and I’ll take it all back.

More awkward being surrounding by Bear in water. If Bear die ranger just sends Wolf or Drakehound, still 1200 wailing away with arrows of fury, pain, anguish, much hurt.

Bears mauled my face pretty hard in there. Its kinda what they do. Bears. Mauling and such. And those drake hounds. Lordy those drake hounds. Worse than them though are those hyena and them calling for back up. Its like hello, free pet!
