Had posted this on a seperate thread 2 hours ago, just copy pasting.
Elite specialization The Hunter
-Names are placeholders-
Pros: can mount the pet
Pet becomes a second health pool to the ranger shielding him from dmg
Can attack while mounted including melee, and can channel skills like barrage while moving
Skills that affect the pet like guard(stealth)for example would also affect the ranger while mounted
Cons: cannot evade nor use movement abilities like swoop from greatsword
When pet gets killed while the ranger is mounting it the ranger gets a 1,5 sec knockdown(falls off the pet)
Pet needs to be in 300 range to mount it.
This elite spec would bring a new mechanic to the ranger allowing us to take advantage of our pets in an unique way. While mounting the only way to hit the ranger would be by killing his mount first. They would have access to 3/4 unique pets with big models and f2 skills suited for mounting.
While in mount mode pets would not be able to attack except for their triggerable abilities that can be activated as the ranger rides the pet.
U would mount with f5 and it would have a 15 sec cooldown when u dismounted or ur pet died while mounting him( so U couldnt just pet swap and mount right after)

Physical utility
healing – spin around throwing poisonous daggers while reflecting projectiles and healing per hit. High risk high reward heal that will heal u lots of u have a bunch of targets near you. Basically a nerfed daggerstorm.
2 – activate all poison stacks u have on all targets, removing them and dealing x damage per stack.
3- swings a leash around u doing a knockdown on a aoe radius around u for 2 seconds. Also applys 6 secs of cripple.
4 – the ranger throws a rope/leash at the target that binds him to the ranger applying constant 1 sec cripple and 0,5 sec imobilize to the target on an interval of 2 seconds for 6 seconds unless the target gets away from the ranger.1200 range. The ranger has access to a follow up ability if the first one connects allowing him to pull the target back with a big pull all the way to melee range.
5 – throw a spear at the target that stuns him for 1 second and imobilizes for 2 seconds. This skill can be activated 3 times. 1,500 range
Elite – send ur pet on a huge 1,500 range leap that creates an aoe field made of vines that imobilizes all enemies inside of it for 1,5 seconds and applys 1 stack of bleeding for 10 secs, also applys 2 stacks of poison for 6 seconds. Interval of 2,5 seconds. Aoe field lasts 15 seconds and has a huge radius enough to cover the mid point in foefire in spvp for example.( since this is a pet skill it will affect the ranger aswell when mounting)
The idea behind this elite spec is of the ranger becoming one with his animal companion raising his bond to a greater level of atunement with nature by allowing him to mount it. Chasing enemies on a wild hunt firing poisonous attacks that cripple and slow their targets and capturing their prey with their leash.
The pets that the Rangers gets access to all have different stats depending on which role they are based on(tank,dps,etc). Other specs like beastmastery would synergise very well with this since your mount would last longer and f2 skill enhancements would be more rewarding .Their f2 skills would be suited to be taken most advantage off when mounting. Like for example, a leap that u can target around.
Just a nobody
