Guild Wars 2

Was going through some historical content on the wiki and found this gem.

Alpha Strike (elite) – Call out all three animal companions for a limited amount of time (as long as they are allowed in the current environment).

How incredible would that have been? Not to mention, it suggests having 3 swappable pet rather than 2.

Nice. Would love to see something like this implemented.

I wouldn’t………………

That is actually how my guild (The Bear Cav of Legend) got its name from. One of us heard about this skill before Beta launched and suggested the idea of a pvp guild that played norn rangers and all had bear pets and used Alpha Strike to spam bears. LOL

All that’s left to do then is give Rangers “I Will Avenge You!” and you have yourself an IWAY on steroids

(or maybe it’ll be incredibly weak because IWAY sucked in beta)

3x range pet in a duel must be nice full BM bunker – let the pets to the work :d

This is old news now, we discussed it in a topic around January, its kinda disappointing because that would have been an interesting skill for us, i get paranoid and consider it evidence of a Mesmer-like pet system for rangers which i would have preferred.

its not the only skill to go missing, we also had Feral Signet which was a straight up damage Sig with some nice critical burst build potential.

Man I’d kill for an elite like that….

Just imagine… 4 Dogs knockdown chain… too bad this skill was deleted

Or being able to chain 4 river drake or marsh drake F2’s….DPS / poison EVERYWHERE

I’d do 3 hyenas… they’d multiply into 6 hyenas, and then they could rotate leap attacks to keep the opponent knocked down for like 12 seconds.

There’re so many interesting attacks, traits and utilities which have been forgotten and would give so much life and impact to the game. When you scroll through list of historical traits, skills you can see that people who were making them actually HAD something in common with GW1. Health Sacrifices for Necromancer, pet rezzes for ranger, nice IWAY for Warrior, multiple interesting skills for warrior especially on skill list (GS burst skill…much better). And yea… http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Comfort_Animal

I wantz it.

That would be awesome! Then all 3 pets could still serve no purpose in WvW!
