Easy Pet Fix
they just need to get rid of ranger pets altogether. they will never be able to fix rangers as long as pets are part or the class. making rangers a pet class in wow was stupid, it was stupid in gw1, and its still stupid now.
So, why not allow pets to be “evading” at the same time the player dodges?
This makes an incredible amount of sense. Been thinking it from day one.

I was thinking giving the pets something similar to mesmer’s distortion, not a whole dodge animation. Companion’s defense applies protection, which like my example in CoE, would not be even close to effective compared to an evade.
In fights having to use f3 doesn’t always work. Once again, in CoE the whole floor is aoe circles, walking away from the boss does nothing to protect your pet. I understand pet management and pet swaps and all that, but it just comes down to the pet’s lack of evades in a game based around the evade. Especially a pet that is required to bring along to every fight in every situation. Evade is just a must.

Speaking of which, the pet should be smart enough not to walk through red circles when following you, returning to you, or heading out to attack a target.

No offense to Anet, but that’d be way too complicated for them. It also seems potentially messy and too awkward/situational to code imo. We’ll be lucky if our pets can ever hit moving targets, let alone recognize danger.
An easier fix would be to tack on a Distortion buff onto the pet when the Ranger dodges. We have tons of Endurance regeneration anyways.

That’s ridiculous, the pet works fine. You should play with me so I can show you how to keep the pet healthy and deadly during a boss fight. Remember: rangers require micro. You cannot fire and forget the pet.
