Guild Wars 2

Hi Rangers,

So I’m almost up for my 2nd armor set.
I’ll use a completely different build.

I’m planning to spec into BM for the first time so my pets will actually have some use.
Before I didn’t have any points traited in Beastmastery what my options for pets in WvW very slim (bears and devourers imo)

Now my question to you:

How many points do you need to spec in BM to make the more squishier and dps-dealing pets like birds, felines etc viable in WvW? 10? 20? 30? Not taking into account utility skills.

With 2 birds can you manage in WvW with only 10 points in BM and swap in time? Or are they still too squishy and do you need 20 or 30 points in BM to keep their survivability up high enough?

Thanks for your answers and advice, looking forward to it

I use 30 points and natural healing, in itself natural healing is actually quite terrible since it doesn’t scale off of your healing power but the pets wich all have 0 +healing, but it still adds up to alot of passive healing combined with the signet and other regens, pets get massive constant hots put together it will be something like 500h/s even if you don’t have any healing on your gear, the problem is they still have low base health and can quickly be one shot by big hitters, there’s no way to get around that aside from the immunity signet wich is a waste of a utility slot in most cases I find.

If you go BM put atleast 20points in it though would be my recommendation.

depends on your secondary trait. If your going to go power with pets then get all 30 but if your gunna go condi then you only really need 15-20
