Guild Wars 2

I’ve been experimenting with master’s bond since zephyr’s speed was nerfed and found moa transforms to be a bit OP vs masters bond – I work to get 25 stacks on my pet only to be moa’d, survive but have it reset my pets stacks.

I think this is an unintended consequence of the way the skill works, i don’t think the devs wanted this to happen, just like entering the water shouldn’t reset with amphibious pets and in both cases it’s extremely annoying.

I did some testing with a friend and another thing worth mentioning is that if both pets are dead and you get moa’d, after the effect wears off, the pet in your first slot will be activated and back to full health with no cooldown on petswap either. However when you do then swap pets, you’ll swap to a dead pet! No BS.

In short, i don’t think the way moa effects pets has been thought-out very much, and needs looking at, it’s all over the place from broken in our favour to the mesmer’s favour… just random broken stuff.

not sure what happens when mesmer moa skill hits a dead pet either, does it rez?

Yeah any transformation resets the master’s bond which sucks. Even if you have the same pet equipped when you go underwater the stacks mysteriously disappear. It’s completely lame and broken and I’ve submitted numerous error reporta about it to no avail.
