Guild Wars 2

Hey GUYS, let’s play a GAME:

Design a PET!

Rules:

• Four skills LIMIT.

• Only ONE player-activated skill (F2).

• You can pick ANY skill available to PLAYERS. This includes ALL pet skills, ALL profession skills and ALL racial skills.

• The SAME incredibly sucky AI we currently have. So you could have a pet with METEOR SHOWER, but it would likely use it only against single enemies, die during channeling, and if it miraculously survives it would likely hit with AT MOST 1 or two meteors. Or it would use Distortion only when it’s not being attacked, or Time Warp only when people are moving around and not using ANY skill.

The one who makes the most INTERESTING pet wins an INCREDIBLE No-Prize!!!!!

lol WHAT is the POINT of typing like THIS. just USE asterisks to EMPHASIZE the WORDS you WANT next time. ;P

Dude that no prize is mine.

Pet: Hambow Warrior

Skills: Carry – The Hambow warrior picks the ranger up and carries him on his back. Together they ride through PvP best friends forever!
(other 3 skills optional)

Pet AI doesn’t matter because the hambow warrior doesn’t require intelligence to function effectively.

Seriously though I’m an Asuran ranger and if I could ride a hambow warrior into battle like some sort of mighty steed… life complete.

…I’ll contribute to this not-serious thread I guess…… (from a post I made in the Ranger CDI when I made the case that pets don’t need to deal damage at all)

Lunar Moth – F2 : Lunar Cadence – Command your pet to fly in target area, transferring boons from foes to allies. (1 boon every 2 seconds for 10 seconds)(5 targets max.)(50 second cooldown)(500 radius)

Solar Moth – F2 : Solar Cadence – Command your pet to fly in target area, transferring conditions from allies to foes. (1 Condition every 2 seconds for 10 seconds)(5 targets max.)(50 second cooldown)(500 radius)

Auto Attack – Steals health twice. (1s activation)(steal health for pet, and steal health for Master)
Skill 2 – Sacrifice 25% of your health to break stun on a nearby ally. (breaks stun)(on ally and pet)(5 second cool down)(Is not used when below 50% health)
Skill 3 – Heal allies when your Master falls below the health threshold. (90%)(same heal as the Moa’s Harmonic Cry)
Stats – Low Power and Precision. High Toughness. Med Vitality.

Pet fire ant colony.

Constantly using meteor shower in a 3000 radius around it as a passive skill (with the strength of a full zerk ele of course), does fire grabs every 2 seconds at nearest targets except its firegrab has 1500 range, applies 25 stacks of burning when attacked and Ranger can explode all the ants a bit like a mesmer’s clones (and there’s like 1000 of them so…)

Oh yeah and they’re invulnerable and can’t be CC’d, of course.

Ooooh pet designing (please don’t make fun of me but i love heals)

pls make mine a reality T_T

Pet : Rock

Skill: Knockdown
Mechanic: immobile, must be carried everywhere

Other 3 skills are peck (auto attack), belly slide into enemy (knockdown), and charrzooka

Pet: Lion (male, adult)

• F2: Mighty Roar: Grants 15 stacks of might for 20 seconds to AOE + Ranger, rec: 40 sec.
• Rampage: Continously slashes and bites target as main attack, 20% chance to inflict bleeding, vulnerability, cripple or knockdown.
• Brutal Charge: Leap at your foe and knock them down. Autoactivated if 800+ range (F1’s +cast)
• Jaw lock: immobilises knocked down targets for 3 seconds

Power 1,718
Precision 1,374
Toughness 2,061
Vitality 2,061

Pet: Pseudo Dragon (a small dragon – the sizs of a fire-elemental at max)

This Little dragon-related good natured being is a flying pet – no drake.

• F2: A quickly casted freezing breath-skill (similart to what frostworms and Trolls uses today that freezes and knocks one over). U know wich one I mean – I hope… Hits 1 target.

• A lacerating attack that causes 5 stacks of Torment. (similart to sigil of torment). Hits 1 target.

• Fear 3/½ s. Max targets 5. Radius 600

• Protecting screech – A screech that is given away while its making a swooping maneuver/fly-over over the area (make it sound different/better from Moas). Gives itself and 5 nearby allies protection for 3 sec. Range 600.

This one has the similar stats to a Drake Power and Toughness and Vitality-wise, It has the precision of a feline.

U could Always Dream…

i want a lion

no idea on skills, but Dolyak would make a fun tank pet
Grubs would make a nice debuff pet spitting aoe weakness/poison etc.
and something funny like a chicken or rabbit would be a fun dps pet.

Maybe the Maguuma Wastes updates will give us a new pet. Realistically we won’t get a new family, so how about a new pet for an existing family.

Maguuma Spider? I know that we have Jungle Spider but this can have Torment on its F2 instead.

Asterisks aren’t used to emphasize words. They’re for footnotes.

An Ooze,
It’s F2 skill would be to infelct a condition based of what type of ooze it is. The rest of the skills i don’t really know

Steam minotaur, or at least wolf.

Give me a kd, cripple, an auto attack and an F2 smoke field.

Land Jellyfish ala Wind Walker: Exactly the same as the water jellyfish, but on land.

Simple, easy, and I want it yesterday!

Can I have a pet asura? Which uses the asuran racial skills?

Bear with condition removal!.. Wait..

Not going to play the game, but I’ve always wanted a pet who’s F2 was an AoE pull (like the guardian’s greatsword pull, without the first part).

A new pet for rangers… Why not a young karka. Enter a berserker state with F2, cd long enough.

Or with blinding on auto-attack.

My wishes for new pets: Karka, Dolyak, Crab, …

If you use an asterisk on each side of a word on these forums, it get bolded.

one of those skale outside of red keep on EB. has knockdown that never seems to miss. vomits a pool of acid and regens itself. put the vomit on the f2 and its pretty much good to go
