Guild Wars 2

What if pets can share their received boons with us even from a distance? We can share boons with them that way anyway, so it only makes sense when they can do it also.

It would be nice, but I’d be even happier if Rangers had more sources of boons/might stacks themselves that they could control, rather than random incoming stuff that hits the pet. I’d also like to see some of the boons that the pet gets via FB have an increase in duration. For example, right now pets only get 3 seconds of Fury, or 3 seconds of Swiftness via FB, which are quite brief, especially considering how often pets’ attacks miss.

Consider a Boon Duration build to increase that duration. Also, if the pet is standing next to you when you do #5 on warhorn, the duration is doubled. Here’s the wiki for pet boon durations:

Aegis 5 seconds
Fury 3 seconds
Might 10 seconds
Protect 2 seconds
Regen 5 seconds
Retal 5 seconds
Swift 3 seconds
Vigor 3 seconds

So pets get 3s of Fury/Swiftness with untraited boon duration. At 100% boon duration, this becomes 6s (big whoop). But if your pet is standing right next to you, they get 36s of Fury/Swiftness, even more so with Might. The shout skill Guard’s Protection boon lasts 20s for the pet (envious) at 100% boon duration.
