#1: Pets take 25% less damage from AoE effects and 30% less damage(overrides the 25% in overlapping situations) from PvE enemies.

#2: Pets gain 2 seconds of evasion when you dodge. This doesnt interrupt their casting if they’re currently using an ability but they cannot start using abilities while dodging.

#3: Pet movement speed increases if out of combat the further away they are from you.

ideas?

Pets don’t need damage resistance in all PVE, just dungeons. That part I agree with. Although for dungeons, I’d say more, like 75-80% damage resistance. Maybe even more. Since pets can’t dodge (and I don’t think making them dodge when you dodge would work out that great) they need high damage resist in dungeons.

Or they could add another F button that dodges the pet only.

Here are a few I have.

The pet can no longer lose more than 20% health per second from attacks. This may be a better solution than AoE mitigation seeing how pets die easily from normal attacks in dungeons, not just AoE.

While pets are on avoid combat, NPCs will no longer attack them.

Upon stowing your pet in combat the ranger gains 3 seconds of invisibility and opening strikes is regained. This requires an alive pet and puts a 60 second cool-down on stowing your pet.

The pets casting time on F2 skills should be greatly reduced, just the delay of your pet responding and having to run up to use them is enough.
