Guild Wars 2

Arenanet,

Just a thought but what about adding a raptor pet for the ranger? The ogre’s currently use them so why not let the players have access to them?

Lastly, not sure if this is more lore than anything but in Eye of the North, Sparkfly Fen was largely populated with dinosaurs. Did the dinosaurs just die out in the 250 years since GW1? Why not include some other dinosaur pets for the ranger to utilize?

While I agree that Raptor would be a great new pet, we already have Moas which I’m pretty sure would be too similar to warrant a new pet type.

Griffon… I have Always wanted to have one since I first saw one.

@Sagramor
Raptor might have feathers, but their head looks more dinosaur-ish than pure avian. Might qualify ’em for a pet type, tbh.

As for pet ideas in general? I like what I’m seeing in this thread.

• Skelk (Seriously, imagine a Skelk/Jaguar stealth squad.)
• Gryphon’s a cool idea.

Some other ideas

• Wasps, man. Got Devourer/Spider, but no Wasps … seems a bit odd.
• I’d love a Dolphin or Killer Whale.
• No murder-rabbits or ticked-off deer? Those could be fun to mess with.

Wind Riders could be a solid long ranged damage pet.
Similar stats to the birds.
Family Skills:
Tentacle Slash: 1,200 range projectile, 100 damage.
Shock: 1,200 range projectile, bounces up to 3 times, 30X3 damage. 15 second cooldown.
Steal Boon: Steals a boon from the target. 1,200 range. 30 second cooldown.

Reef Special: Shocking Defense: 300 range AoE sphere that reflects projectiles for 4 seconds. 35 second cooldown.
Breeze Special: Empower: 600 range AoE boon to allies. Retaliation for 6 seconds. 35 second cooldown.
Wind Special: Eye Beam: 1,500 range single target beam. 140X2 damage. Causes 5 stacks of confusion for 5 seconds. 35 second cooldown.

Numbers could likely use tweaking but that’s the general idea. The goal is to have a pet that can do decent damage from a solid range so it doesn’t have to enter the fray, and that has a strong F2 ability that can either protect the ranger who is nearby or still deliver the F2 from max range.

Having a pet Dolyak, Skale or Phoenix would be interesting……

Feex currant petz pls. Tank you.

I played GW1 6 yrs. & played my ranger all the time, GW2 since release & don’t use ranger much, never asked Anet for nothing, but I think its time, I really do miss my beloved Dire White Tiger , from GW1. don’t think it would be that hard to put them in GW2, side note the drake hound looks like its dieing of malnutrition. lm done ty

Eagle Griffin and Ridgeback Skale

Anet make it so. If you make it a gemstore option, you can have my wallet!!!!

I want a bovine pet who has moved similar to the cows you’re training in Diessa, with the F2 being an AoE fear (or a flesh golem like charge), the “family” could also include Dolyaks and a bull.

THAT will make me a happy kittening ranger lol.

Wind riders would be a close second…

I want those giant beetles from Dry Top as a pet. No justification for why…I just really really want one.

That was one of the nice things about GW1 that I miss. They added pets with every stand alone game and with the expansion. They added the menagerie which was great. We haven’t had a new pet since Southsun. It’s a bummer.

well, i doubt we’d ever see a new pet EVERY patch lol, but i’d like to see one every LW season, even if it’s just a clone of an old one and is mutually exclusive with an old one =(
