Guild Wars 2

With the Fern Hounds’ Regenerate or the Moa’s Harmonic Cry, it doesn’t get much of a boost from Compassion Training. 350 points is a sizable increase in stat, right? or is the pet scaling supposed to be like that?

pets have 0 healing power, and compassion training only gives them 350 points in healing power. the scaling is set up on pets so 1 point in healing power equals 1 extra hp of healing, so, it really isn’t alot…

[ Edit: oops, I was talking about Concentration Training, but Compassion Training has the exact same issue, so it still applies. ]

Yes it’s bugged.

The pet has to be in combat mode for it to work. The Ranger being in combat mode does not count, unless your pet is on aggressive mode. So if you have a pet on passive, you have to press F1 on a valid target just before you press F2, then when the buff is applied you can press F3 to put the pet back on passive.

I tried it for a while with a Red Moa in WvW, but it’s way too much micro-management for my liking. I changed Concentration Training (Nature Magic 10) with Commanding Voice (Beastmastery 10), which reduces the cooldown of the F2 ability instead of increasing the boon duration. Commanding Voice works without anyone being in combat mode.

Concentration Training could give permanent Fury though, but it takes a ton of extra effort and even then it’s not always available. Commanding Voice is an alright alternative.

Don’t expect any bug fixes. Either accept how this works and use it to your advantage or abandon all hope on it.

that’s kinda suckish. :/
After looking at Master’s Bond, it’s a decent adept trait for pets…or not really cuz it gets reset when you swap pets doesn’kitten not worth it?
Pets usually put up with a decent amount of damage, but no healing power?
