THE PACKMASTER

Each pet inflicts roughly 40% of the damage of the standard Ranger pet and has roughly 60% of a standard pet’s health. Only the pet closest to the Packmaster responds to f2 commands and shout skills.
• Reinforce (f4). Summons 1 additional pet if less than 3 are present and counts as pet swap for traits.
