Guild Wars 2

I am new to Ranger and my current Ranger is level 36 atm and I am in a similar level zone. It clearly says that with each kill, my pet will gain +3 to all stats till 25 stacks. However, I do noticed that sometime, the stats increases by +2 or +1 instead of +3 and the vitality stats sometime doesn’t increase at all.

So, I am interested to know if this is a bug or am I missing something?

P.S. I am confident on my data as I have thoroughly monitored the increment.

What’s likely happening is you’re walking into an area where you downscale so the stat bonus also adjusts appropriately.

Nope, I am in the same area killing the same mobs. I have also posted a thread in the game bug section after Anet verified this as a bug through my ticket. You can also try this yourself. I have also attached a video in the other thread.

This is probably a prelude to a nerf/fix to the trait. It is (was), quite frankly, OP at lower levels because it gave the pet a flat +8 to each of its stats. With a limit of 25 stacks, that was +200, which was pretty OP when your pet’s base stats were 100-400.

It sounds like they’re tweaking it to scale with your pet’s level, which if done properly would really help the trait out. Right now it becomes close to worthless by about level 60. The “pet swap and lose stacks when you get wet” bug meant the benefit of the trait wasn’t worth the trouble it took to maintain those 25 stacks. Hopefully they’re planning to beef it up a bit at the high levels, not just nerf it at the low levels.
