Pets F2 skills don’t priorize the rangers party which is very lackluster in WvW especially since even the ranger himself doesn’t get the pets buffs in a zerg. I played support ranger yesterday in a Zerg by using the red moa for good fury uptime and the blue moa for the nice protection but I very rarely got it even if the moa was definitely in the range. We had a 30-50man zerg and only if I stood exactly next to my moa (nearer than others) I got the buffs.
My team members which I wanted to buff mainly hardly every got any boon from my moa.
So it seems that the party priority for buffs was forgotten for ranger pets. I really ask you to fix this since thats pretty important for support rangers to be viable in WvW.
Pets which come to mind for party priority:
Red Moa fury, blue Moa protection, Brown Bear condition removal, Birds swiftness, Jungle Stalkers Might, Fern hound
Oh and Pig family buffs which are dropped to the ground can be taken by enemies which is pretty fail in WvW.
Would be nice if you could fix these bugs until HoT. I will also post this on the bugs forum but want it to be seen here too.
