One thing that has baffled me is the decision by Anet to put most of the rangers static damage on the pet. I am currently hitting for anywhere between 500-1.5k depending on buffs yet my pet is doing 1k all the way to 4k when I pop my dps cooldowns.
Now I wouldn’t have a problem with this if they didn’t die so often. I have it happen numerous times in instances when my pet feline is about to be downed and my heal is on cd so I swap to my wolf. Within 2-3 seconds my wolf is dead and I lose a massive chunk of my dps.
Anyway cam Anet just give pets reduced AoE damage taken or just lower the cd on pet swap?
