Guild Wars 2

I can’t wait to get to test out the Ranger in HoT, with all the new pets, pets with condition damage, etc. As far as I could tell from the Druid reveal stream, the fire Wyvern’s F2 ability would make it evade attacks. That made me think pets could actually be usefull. If you add “Sick em” to your utilities, that gives your pet 40% damage increase for 10 seconds, if you are able to get of some stacks of might and stack some fury (Which shouldn’t be too hard with the new WHaO and fortifying bond), pet’s could actually deal a good bit of damage, and if you add an evade on top of this, it actually might be viable, since the pet won’t just instanly die from bosses, or AoE fields

Contrary to the popular melancholic beliefs on this forum, I think ranger has been improved dramatically since the 29th patch and the recent WHaO even if it just got nerfed. With the build I use, I feel more versatile & flexible now i.e. I don’t need to rely on very specific & very rigid rotation to ditch out dmg. Plus my pets don’t die that easily anymore even with cats.

I’m loving my ranger.
