Guild Wars 2

Elite Skill:

Disable your pets for 2 minutes to gain 15% more damage, your elite skill is replaced with the current pet’s ability for the duration, 2 minute cooldown.

Why choose Ranger, a pet based profession, if you don’t like to have pets!?!?

Anet has to make pets more viable. Taking them away is not the solution!

A lot of people chose ranger to be an archer sniper and got stuck with crap DPS because reasons.

Yes, I’m aware of that. I chose ranger for the bows as well.
But Anet’s vision / policy for the ranger is based / build on pet. I doubt they will change that whether we like the pets or not.
