After Wilderness Knowledge is moved to WS line, EB becomes a way inferior source of condition removal that can easily kill your pet. I think there’s one very logical way to solve this issue and make this trait much more attractive and competitive:

1. Empathetic Bond: Your pet draws 3 conditions from you every 10 seconds. Your pet will transfer 2 condition back when they attack foes. (5 sec ICD)

This is the most logical solution since Necro already has a very similar trait from ther MM trait lines. These minions all transfer conditions back with their attacks. I make EB slightly stronger because Necro’s minion trait can easily do the same in big quantity (AOE burning to all 6 minions = transfer 6 times more condition back). We rangers have only one pet so it should do a little more than that.

It would solve alot of issues for pet dying from condition too rapidly too.

Suggested before and multiple times. I’ll +1 it just to keep the idea a float. Not sure if Anet wants Ranger pets to have what Necro minions have as traits.

Looking at each class balance, Robert and Kui have their own “flavor” to where they want to take a profession. Kui’s doing good, but he can do better (I think) if he has more room to go crazy like he did with Engineer.
