There’s a nice thread from about a year ago which has some great testing of the agility training trait
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Agility-Training-Better-than-it-seems/first

That post didn’t have any drake pets in the test, so I decided to do a quick test. I didn’t do all the trials in the original thread. There’s just one test on a moving golem without agility training and one test with the trait enabled. Here’s the video:

More tests would even out the randomness of critical hits and tail swipes landing. Both of those things are pretty much just chance (tail swipe depends on the golem happening to change direction at the time the drake does the attack). In these tests, the non-agility drake gets luckier with 2 more critical hit bites and 1 more tail swipe that hits.

Overall, the agility training drake kills much faster (120 seconds) compared to without agility training (161 seconds).

These times are much slower than the raven, jaguar and wolf tested in the thread from a year ago. I’m guessing this is because raven has a much higher damage auto-attack, jaguar uses it’s second attack (but drake never will because it only uses chomp when injured), and wolf cripples its target periodically.
