Guild Wars 2

So, as the dedicated ranger I am, trying to tweak my build, I wanted a pet that was perfect for my play style. However, trying a few of them out, I found out they were either bugged in some way, or information was lacking from the description.

So, as a good community member, I decided to test out all the pets’ F2 skill to see, if something was missing.

Land

Blue Moa:
Protection doesn’t last 10 secs

White Moa:
Icy screech says it causes chill, and it does, but the description has a regen icon for 10 secs on instead of chill for 1 sec.

River Drake:
Attack 6 times, but it’s not stated.

Salamander Drake:
Attacks 5 times.

Lynx:
Skill says the bleeding lasts 23 seconds. But it “only” lasts 10.

Snow Leopard:
Chill lasts longer than described. Also, the chill icon has an intensity number on it, but Chill stacks only in duration.

Raven:
Skill doesn’t say, it attacks twice.

Arctodus:
Seems like the bleeding only lasts 5 secs instead of 7. Description doesn’t say it attacks twice.

Lashtail Devourer:
I’m not totally sure, but it seems as the bleeding only lasts for 4 secs. Also, only 6 stings are fired, but the description says 7×.

Hyena:
No description, but the ally lasts about 10-15 secs.

Owl:
Description doesn’t say it attacks twice.

Eagle:
Description doesn’t say it attacks twice. Bleeding lasts 15 secs instead of 17.25.

White Raven:
Description doesn’t say it attacks twice.

Hawk:
Description doesn’t say it attacks twice. Again, the bleeding lasts 15 secs, not 17.25.

UNDERWATER

Red Jellyfish:
Attacks 4 times instead of twice as stated.

Rainbow Jellyfish:
Attacks 4 times instead of twice as stated. Chill has an intensity number of 2, but it stacks in duration.

Arctodus:
Bleeding lasts 5 secs instead of 7.

Blue Jellyfish:
Attacks 4 times instead of twice as stated.

Marsh Drake:
Poison Cloud has 5 pulses. But it’s unstated.

Ending notes
- Please say if I missed something, or if I misunderstood something for a bug.
- I undoubtedly missed something, so I encourage you to test a few out yourself.
- I didn’t post this to the big ranger bug post because of 2 reasons: awareness and seperation. The bug list is big enough as it is, might aswell have one for the player, and one for the pet.
- I learned quite a bit from testing these, so feel free to ask questions!

River Drake – Most of the time, if i hit it’s F2 skill, then its target moves locations, the Drake just fires off its F2 skill into emptiness. I hope this is not intended, because it seems like a bug to me.

This actually happens so regularly, that I pick the the mob that I hope wont move on me.

Happens in PvP too, but not as much play there for me.
