Guild Wars 2

You’ll have to forgive me here, it’s been AGES since I played last. Just got back into the game, started fresh, and I can’t believe I ever left it, I don’t no why it’s so entertaining right now, but it is.

So, with the fresh restart, I made a human ranger. I’ve been playing a lot of human-based characters in Skyrim of late, so it kinda dragged over here. And I’ve been feeling like my pet isn’t this flimsy little thing like it used to be. It seems sturdier now, and a whole lot better at attacking enemies than it used to be. Heck, it can actually keep a mob’s attention now!

Or maybe that’s just me. Am I imagining things here?

While leveling in the open world our pet is a BEAST…. it can solo most mobs with ease.

But in endgame (PvP, Dungeons) it´s not that usefull anymore and sometimes even obstructive.

Pets got a 75% health increase, so they are actually very important in dungeons now. Brazil even takes sic’ em in his latest build video, using an entire utility slot on his pet, as well as several traits.

Who in their right mind thinks pets aren’t good in PvP? They got massively nerfed a few months ago in PvP because they’re so strong, in so many different ways.

Yet they still can’t hit anything that moves! Good job nothing moves in PvP. Oh, wait…

Totally off topic, but I like 1h sword for PvP. The autoattack (which no one actually uses as auto…) both cripples and gives might to your pet. For group fights, the “can’t hit moving targets” bit is suspect. It’s total chaos, attention is not on pets, and CC is getting thrown around left and right. Also CC pets are the standard. Then the empathic bond and blah blah blah all sorts of traits blah blah pet rezzing yada yada two targets two attacks two health pools etc etc etc.
