Guild Wars 2

Rangers have to manually mouse-click a UI button to activate two of their profession mechanic controls.
This can be addressed by consolidating the redundancy between the F1, F2, and the “guard/avoid combat” button

Solution 1

• F3 – While in combat command your pets to return to you and avoid combat until you give a new command. While out of combat, stow your pets.
• Entering combat while your pets are stowed will reactivate them and command them to avoid combat.
• Using any pet command while your pets are stowed will reactivate them.

Solution 2

• F1 – Toggle pet mode
• F3 – Stow Pet
• Activating Guard mode while you have an enemy targeted commands your pets to lock onto that target until it is defeated or you give a new command.
• Using any pet command while your pets are stowed will reactivate them.

Pet modes:

• Guard – Commands pets to attack foes you are attacking or foes attacking you.
• Avoid Combat – Commands pets not to attack.
