Guild Wars 2

My ranger is only level 15 or so. For most of that time, if I attack something, my bear would go after it. Once I hit “return to me”, and ever since then, whenever I attack something, I have to hit the bear’s F1 key to get him do more than sit around and watch me.

How do i get the bear to attack whatever I’m attacking without having to hit F1 again and again?

Is your bear on ‘Avoid Combat’ instead of ‘Guard’? Check to see if you didn’t flip it by accident (check for the little red/blue icon)

Sounds like you accidentally switched your pet into “passive mode”.

On the pet control bar, there’s a toggle button, 4th button from the left. Its not hotkeyed to any F command, you have to manually press the icon on the screen. Blue bird icon is passive, meaning your pet won’t attack anything without being specifically ordered to. Red crossed swords icon is aggressive (or “Guard” I think the game calls it), where your pet will attack enemies that attack you or defend itself if it gets attacked.

Yeah, like the others said. You probably have him on passive.

I keep my pet in passive and have the attack and follow binded to I can manage them better.
