Dear Fellow Rangers,
I have been playing my ranger the whole weekend in Dry Top doing all the Living Story and whatever else going on in the zone. Although I levelled my ranger to 80 at the beginning of the year, it did not receive much of my attention until the past few days. I had a good time with it.
Then when I logged off and went to bed, I thought of something rather interesting: why can’t we put armours on pets? Of course it will not be as eleborated as those worn by the character but perhaps a chest piece, some sort of head gear or something to cover the limbs. All of which will be dye-able so at least in some way one can personalise one’s pets. I thought of this idea because while trying to get to sleep, I remembered reading a post on giving ranger ascended pets a few months ago. I think the initial response was rather positive but I have to say that I lost track of the post.
Those armour pieces will have stats too so a ranger can play around the with pets’ stat a bit. Of course the actual values will need to be well thought out but for the time being lets leave that consideration aside. For example, I do want a dps wolf, but it will always be out-done by a cat; so I carry a cat in PvE. But what if I can armour up a berserker wolf?
Then how about slotting a sigil on pets? They are essentially a “weapon” for a ranger. How about runes on the pets’ armour? Or perhaps do not give the pets’ amour any stats but instead have slots for runes and sigil?
More I think about it, the more fun I think it will make the ranger class.
So what do my fellow rangers think?
Many thanks!
