Guild Wars 2

I’d like to be able to review my pets in the sorting window without actually needing to slot it and set it to active. I shouldn’t need to take a 20 second cooldown to simply check if I want to actively slot a different pet, particularly outside of combat.

I agree. Sort of annoying to swap and wait another 20 second of cool down. Perhaps could submit a suggestion to the admin.

Yeah, we need a “See Stats” option added to the pet roster or something.

And why did they remove instaswap out of combat on pets anyway? I read that it had something to do with people abusing it to stack buffs.. but they already know how to do this intelligently, you can instaswap weapons out of combat and when you do, the buffs associated don’t trigger. (for example: Ranger’s swiftness on weapon swap)

So why didn’t they just change the pet buffs so they didn’t activate on out of combat swaps? That would have been the right change to make. Or was it disabled for another reason.. was this change in the patch notes anywhere?

It wasn’t “on swap” skills, it’s the pet F2 skills that were being abused. For instance: pop Red Moa’s Fury, swap to Jungle Stalker, pop Extreme Might – attack.

But I would love a pet info screen without having to swap & equip every 20 secs. Very annoying.
