Guild Wars 2

It seems that pet healths are bugged at least for non-80 zones as far as I can tell (I haven’t tested thoroughly in all 80 zones but it may be in-line to anecdotal posts where pets are not lasting as long)

Example: Go to Malchors Leap and get scaled down to level 78/80. Equip an ursine (bear), it will have arould 25k health even with no traiting to the BM line. If you trait fully into the BM line (6 points) it will still have 25k health with no effects.

Now go to Cursed shore (level 80 map), you’ll now see that the bear will have double the amount of health even with 0 in BM. Now if you trait into BM it will affect the total health and bring it up to ~53k fully into BM.

I use bears as an example here since they have the largest health disparity.

It doesnt make sense that your pets health is halved when you’re scaled down from 80 to 78.

I also haven’t tested it with all pets, it doesnt seem to affect cats (confirm?), only bears as far as I could tell.

I tested some more. Pets have 3 health classes, High (bears), Medium (drakes, pigs, moas, etc.), low (cats, birds,etc.).

Edit: Upon further testing, the ones that seem to be affected the most are pets with high and medium health, pets with low health are not affected.

Traiting into BM will affect the total health of pets with low health. Pets with medium/high health are not affected by traiting into BM.

You guys can test this south of Dwayna’s Temple in Malchors Leap, where you get scaled from 79 / 80.
