Guild Wars 2

I notice approximately 50% of the time while in combat that my pets are just standing or sitting around. No response to F1-F4. ( No they are not set to passive ). They are even more unresponsive while I’m in a downed state. What gives?

Are there already posts and complaints about this?

This has never happened to me. Could it possibly be lag on your end?

F2 skills have very large delays, and sometimes f3 (seems like often the pet has to complete the current animation before returning…other times it works just fine thou).

F1 and f4 work with no issues for me

I can’t say my experience is as bad as yours, but there are definitely some nuances to keeping your pet active.

For F3, I find hitting it a few times until you get the pet back to you completely works. As someone else noted, pets seem to need to finish their current animation before they start to move.

The only command I’ve ever noticed any latency on was F2. This isn’t the cast time… but a delay before the cast time is even initiated. I’ve never been able to isolate exactly why or when this happens because it’s definitely not all the time.

I often find my pet refuses to use their f2 ability (I use wolves) and certain other pets, like the brown bear, will run to the enemy and use an ability you want to use near yourself and your allies…

Sometimes I find I just have to spam the button to get it to work, and we shouldn’t have to do that…

As for the other commands: F1, F3, and F4 work fine. Although, the pet pathing can be pretty rage worthy at times with F3; pets will often just act plain confused when trying to come back at first, often just allowing them to get up the butt with that Boss AOE or similar situations…

Mine was fine till last night and for some odd reason my Pet would not revive me when I was downed. Just stood about doing nothing.

But while in combat he seemed just fine.
