Guild Wars 2

To get right to it, as I need to be off soon.

1) WHY in god’s name does Guard require a cast time of 1 whole second? it’s a SHOUT is it not?!?!?!

2) When your pet is dead do any of the following traits still work?

• Shared Anguish. (Incoming cc is transferred to your pet)
• Empathic Bond. (Transfer 3 conditions to your pet every 10 seconds)
• Protect Me (What’s the deal here? On activation when pet is dead, does it still stunbreak/absorb damage or if the pet dies during its course, what happens then?)

Anywho, I’ma do some testing tomorrow in sPvP if noone has done testing on this before.

Thanks and good night!

if pet is dead none of the abilities work, this is the down side to them and why many rangers don’t like there mechanics. the stun break on “protect me” will work when pet is dead but not the dmg absorption

Well, for starters, I don’t see what “God’s” name got to do with anything. The answer for your number 1 question is simple. A-net decided to do so and there is nothing we can do about it. To make a lore about it, maybe the ranger is speaking in their pet’s language, and translating from English to that pet’s language causes a lag spike within the communication process.

And when pet is dead, I am quite sure it does NOT work.
