Guild Wars 2

Since ranger’s pet play a big role in your gameplay as ranger I have been trying to get the most of it if my build is not pet centered. Mostly I’ve been using my pet for their F2 skill be it stun or some buff.

A few days ago I saw that for example drakes have an ability called Tail swipe that counts as a blast finisher, and I personally find that great since ranger have no other blast finisher.
So got myself a drake and went melee against some mobs to test it + flame trap. In part it worked.
Then I tried with QZ and was expecting more might stacks but didnt really happen.

So my question is when does that drake attack happen? Every third attack of his? Random? It has a cooldown?

It has a cooldown. If you go on pet management you can see the skills of your currently selected pet (Including the F2 one).

I know I can see the skills thus I know it does blast finisher.
My bad ye you can see the cooldown on tail swipe its 30 secs…. argh its way too high to do what I want…
But I still don’t know when the pet does that since I don’t see any special animation or anything.

Drakes are currently bugged and can only do their auto-attack and their F2 ability.

Stay clear from them until they’re fixed. If they’re ever fixed, that is.
