Guild Wars 2

Currently I’m mostly running a Lynx for a PvE damage pet and loving it. With the upcoming condition changes, it looks like bleed/poison pets are going to be a little bit sub par. My other go-to, the jaguar, isn’t great in non PvP settings as hitting its f2 usually dumps a whole bunch of aggro right on my face.

What’s everyone planning on running with post spec patch day?

Hawk/Owl.

Hawk/Owl.

I have seen this being mentioned several times.
Has this been tested? I had my Cats dealing more damage than Birds. Birds have the same stats but their cast animations are noticeable longer.

Has something changed that I wasn’t aware of?

He asked what pets everyone would be using, not what pets do the most damage, but I almost always use birds over cats because they just hit more often in WvW/PvP and the Hawk/Eagle F2 does the most damage over time. I just got addicted to Hawk with Intimidation Training.

I don’t think anything has really changed about pets? Cats should still do the most physical damage.

It has been 8 months since I logged in, I could possibly be wrong and I cannot check right now, but, yeah… 5 months until I can play again.

Edit:
I’d like to know actually if someone can let me know the tooltip numbers of the Slash AA skill on both Jaguar and Hawk, I’d be very grateful. I have perhaps mixed up my numbers because the gw2kills editor shows tips with birds way in front for dps.

cats=highest dps, birds=highest burst
choose your poison

River Drake/Owl or Lynx

Yep, thanks for clarification.

I got mislead by the headline.
