F5 skill for pets IF you go full Beastmaster
would be nice, yep.
Too much work for Anet to create so many skills for one line.
Not going to happen.
I prefer an Ai/pet update. And with a good Ai and a moving-target-hitting pet, the ranger might be too strong with his other improved skill. But we will see what is coming.
Guild Wars balancing concept: Never change a ruined system!
Make it so the pet AI is smarter and you have access to two pets at the same time. Lol
We don’t really need an elite skill, but expanding us to have an F5 would let us get a second activated skill from our pets which is VERY much needed.

That is the underlying reason for my suggestion.
But I do want to make using the F5 skill more of an occassion than just another F2 skill; and hence the idea of Pet Elite.
For myself, I always play a pet class in MMO. So managing a pet or pets is not difficult at all for me; and pet management in GW2 is quite straight forward. So I suppose adding a function to the pets may add some flavour.
They could just make it one skill for pet elite, dependant on what weapon is in your MH at the time. So, they would only need to make 5 skills.
Shadow step for LB, Leap finisher for SB, Blast Finisher for Sword, Super Speed for GS and Whirl finisher for Axe. I dunno, things like that.

Not a bad idea at all!
That gives another layer (tactical) decision-making in weapon choosing.
I’d love it, but I think Toxsa is onto something.
Gone to Reddit.
Since ranger is so abusive to their pets through all the traits (protect me, sig of restoration, empathetic bond, shared anguish), why not add a F5 skill that’ll command the pet to explode and cause huge damage to all enemies in 900 radius around the pet?
The pet will die and need to press f4 to swap out after f5 is used. (They will literally die, not down, so out of combat wouldn’t help regen their hp. They’d also lay on floor like a dead pet instead of following you)
It’ll help ranger to achieve a more active play-style, instead of passively rely on pet to do the damage, and promote a different style of playing without pet as ranger.

Druid will likely have an F5 skill.
