Guild Wars 2

This needs to be brought in line, it cannot be that the pet revives the ranger faster than I can crit/hit him down. And I mean ***faster***.
(I know I can “finish” him if I’m in close range, but that’s not the point here.)

You could try killing him before that skill comes available.

If its a 1v1 theres no excuse you failing to do this, and if its a team fight your team should easily able to outhit the pets heal or interupt the pet (and should have done so before the pet heal became available).

I’m really amzed about this topic.
Even with the wolf fear I’m killed before this bullkitten of skill is available in about 90% of the cases. So, the problem here isn’t the skill imo…
(Except we’re talking underwater)

Interrupt the pet.

Fear
Stun
Daze
Kill
Push
Pull

Pick one and do it to the pet.

Kill the pet after the ranger uses his skill. It won’t be able to res anymore until the skill is up again, which’ll take a while.
Or, you know, apply some CC or poison.

Stability – walk up next to ranger – “F”
done

The ranger is balanced with the pet. Consequently the ranger’s damage and survivability is lower than if he had no pet, but one of the tradeoffs is the pet can revive the ranger if he’s downed.

If you can’t finish off the ranger before the pet revive skill becomes available (10 sec from downing), then you probably wouldn’t have been able to down the ranger in the first place if they’d balanced the class without a pet. If you don’t want to use F to finish off the ranger, either interrupt the pet and finish off the ranger, or kill off the pet then kill the ranger.

Just because conventional wisdom is to “ignore the pet, kill the ranger” doesn’t mean it’s a bug when that strategy doesn’t work. The exception is pet revive underwater which is way too powerful – that’s been reported as a bug since late last year and still hasn’t been fixed.

Wait til this guy encounters spirit rez. The QQ will be epic.

Why should he do any of this?

Crying is easier than thinking of counters, come on guys, this is the GW2 community after all.

heheh so true.

To be a true GW2pro you must QQ more than you PEW PEW.

“I want to ignore the viable option the game gives me to keep my opponent from self rezzing, but when I try, it’s too hard, so I go to the forums to cry about it.”

LOL.

Please continue, these topics get more hilarious every day.
