New idea for pet changes !!!
Anet already stated they would not let us get rid of the pet. Sorry for breaking your idea, although it’s not the worst.
It’s a good idea, although it’s not new. The unfortunate thing is that pets could be a lot better just with better AI. That’s not really fixable at this point though, and WvW clashes negate even the best pet AI I’ve seen in other games. Perma-stow would go a long way towards fixing it, but as Treeline said, it may be something we never see.

I have my own idea: new types of pets that can’t deal or receive damage, and instead do the sort of thing that you’re suggesting. These could be things like frogs, lizards, mice, rats, weasels, snakes, etc.

I actually really like this idea. Pets that acted more like Warrior banners that followed you around and had an active ability of some sort….
You.. I like you.
Just up ranger damage and reduce pet damage so the ratio isn’t so out of what.
Increase the attack range of pets so they can actually hit things that are moving.
Allow all F2 abilities to fire off instantly with no cooldown/aftercast so they don’t interrupt anything else and don’t get delayed by anything else.
This isn’t that difficult. Once you get this far, if you want to give us control of a secondary skill, that would be great. If it’s really a system limitation through the AI because you can’t add a box, then simply remove the recall pet command and use a simple ‘IF’ statement so attack and recall are on the same command.

Can u give me the link to the page that anet talks about not getting rid of pet o.o ??
It was in an interview awhile back if I remember correctly. Maybe after they get a new dev team we will have the ability to stow. I like playing the ranger more than my other lvl 80s, but I hate the pet. Especially because they can’t fix the AI, the AoE pet problem, no pet dodge, pathing, etc. Anyway, I am a glass half full kinda guy, so I will hold out hope that eventually change their course and give us Preparations option instead of pets.

They said it for the first like 4 months after launch and constantly throughout beta yet the ranger community still can’t grasp the concept of us never losing the pet…. That being said our pet does need better balancing, especially in PvE, the Guantlet (last boss mainly) is making that blatantly apparent…

Thank you. I have to admit, though, that some of my motive is quite selfish…I really want a pet weasel!
I LOVE this idea, i hate my pet and everything about them, i could really go for this idea of a passive effect while stowed

Good suggestion.
One thing is sure: Pets needs overhaul ASAP.
