Guild Wars 2

Costs 50 skill points.

Absorbs your pet stats and adds them to your own for 15 seconds every 2 minutes. Pet is killed in process.

How does that sound?

and what are going to do after when the enemy is still standing?…..to me traits like these are a waste of time.

Summon a new pet and keep fighting? Do you just want a button that kills the person in front of you instantly?

So, basically Protect Me with a % damage increase would do the trick. I wish Protect Me was on a shorter cooldown…they make great cannon fodder.

it will be good if you are playing only pvp. but for crowd control and dungeon crawl, its not very good. especially in dungeons where there is a crowd. you like to play pvp dont you?

Do you just want a button that get rid of your pets instantly?
Any action that get rid of pets from rangers’ dps is going against A-net’s ideal ranger.
They want the pet to be available to you all the time and contribute at least 50% of your total damage. Sure, they suck and don’t do as promised right now. So what? Buff them if they need to. Deal more damage, have more survivability , act more responsive upon commands, or whatever. Why don’t people understand that pets are a essential role within rangers’ skill kit?

ehhh Dont think that does well at all.

nah…

This type of ability is more necrotic than it is ranger.

Am i the only one that likes pets? Seriously?

Cough protect me cough…yeah I sorta like his idea and I sorta don’t. The problem is this is just a for fun idea don’t be a jerk. Also your argument is pretty poor when you consider he is most definitely using the pet not just ditching it. To sum it up get over yourself.

I love pets

I like pets too, which is why despite the fact so many would like the option to permanently stow the pet, I think A-net might decide they don’t want to go that far. What I’m trying to do is think of ways to compromise and give rangers a utility option to do that without dramatically changing the class.

Maybe this isn’t the right solution, but I don’t see anything wrong with exchanging the pet for a boost in weapon damage in some capacity. As for lore, the pet doesn’t have to die..it can “ascend” or whatever semantic you want but it made sense to invoke the 45 second pet timer after using such a powerful skill.

Sunsports don’t listen to the forum trolls. In all honesty its not a horrible idea. Though it really doesn’t offer any in game help, it is a fun way for the community to come together. Unfortunately until Anet has the game working as envisioned you will have forum trolls constantly bad mouthing any one with something to say.

I don’t mind ;P I’m sure I’m not the only one that sits in mumble or vent chatting with other Rangers thinking of ways to change or better the class.

Killing the pet sounds out of character. How about a “gattai” I don’t know how to say it in English, but you know in anime when robots and stuff merge together into a bigger and better thing?

Hmmm, something like “soul unision”, you hit that and you merge with the pet’s spirit getting its special abilities and stats for a short time. Afterwards pet goes on cd for usual 20secs or so to rest and the other pet comes out.

pets are rad, it is why i play ranger.

i would prefer for them to fix & make this mechanic stronger than give us a bandaid that removes the mechanic entirely—but i can understand the point of view of players who want something like this.

Absolutely. I play both classes and as soon as I saw the description, I thought it fitted the image of the necromancer. It just doesn’t feel right for ranger.

That sounds good to me

This is a fun idea, a skill that transform your pet into an armor or weapon set…. interesting!
