Guild Wars 2

I posted this in the ranger bug thread in the bug forums, but thought I’d post it here to raise awareness.

If your pet is hidden, if you enter combat, the pet will not have opening strike when it first pops out. (seems as if it checks if the player is in combat rather than the pet when assigning it opening strike maybe?)

If you just take it out before entering combat, you still have to wait 5-10 seconds before opening strike shows up on the pet’s bar.

So yeah. If you’re counting on that vuln, don’t hide your pet. :c

On the upside:
Any on pet-swap effects trigger when entering combat with stowed pet (if the effect is not on CD)

That means, with Clarion Bond and Zephyr’s Speed:

• 6 stacks of 15s might
• 15s Fury
• 15s Swiftness
• 3s Quickness

….but yeah, I want that Opening Strike too!
