Guild Wars 2

Why would you make the trait Masters Bond in a matter that resets the bond when pet is swapped?!!?! The whole Beastmastery line strongly encourages the ranger to make pet swaps regularly with pre-chosen traits like Zephyr’s speed , and Loud whistle!
Now Anet, on one side you make us swap pets on the go (Which we should, and which i LOVE), but you also have a trait (a broken trait imho) that says NO to pet swap!
Even worse, going from land to water also resets the bond! WHY!?!?

I read that the stats of max bond is like a +20% to pets stat. Its like a sigil in a way. But your sigil stack doesn’t reset when you swap weapons?!?!!

Please remove the reset when pets are swapped or when going from land to water and vice versa.

The only time Masters Bond should be reset, is when the pet or player is defeated.

Good news: Still love this game and still love the ranger!

The bond is nice in PvE, absolutely useless in PvP. It has, however, stopped me from crossing water in some places because I don’t want to lose the 25stack on the pet. I’ll use it when I know I am land based for quite some time and that’s about it.

I tend to use it myself regardless. The other traits (grimly enough, most of the Beastmaster traits in general) are Rather Useless.

I’ve already explained the point of it in another thread…

That being said, i’d like to see it just being reworked to an amount of time you have your pet out to get to 25 stacks and not a per kill thing…

Agreed – Master’s Bond should not reset on swap – only on player or pet downed.

I would be pleased with this too….

To add to this, shouldn’t vanish when you just swim through water either.
