Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed when trying to use for example the jaguar pet (seems to be the worst with jag due to the f2 mechanic), when swapping to something liek a jag pet the obvious idea is to quickly swap , and get burst damage out from the jag pet on quickness.

The problem I’ve realized and maybe other people too is that when I pet swap to do that, he just stands there for 2 seconds before even ‘registering’ that he’s supposed to fight.

The issue is that means basically that the Quickening Zephyr trait is thrown out of the window, I mean I get the quickness, but it would be great if the pet actually attacked as soon as he was swapped and not sit there for a couple seconds before doing anything.

Does anyone else have this issue? Particularly with jaguar pet?

Yep. Don’t worry though Ranger is “OP” and will probably be nerfed soon.

Every class has an OP build deal with it. As for the delays, yes they are there. They’re on minions, pets, basically anything that’s AI controlled, same goes for their skills. It’s been going on for months yet it still has to be addressed. Anet sure as hell knows of these problems, but doesn’t act upon it, nor do they communicate that they plan to fix it.

Also something funny, maybe a bit off-topic is the number 4 skill for your horn. If you lose line of sight to your target the birds wont do any damage anymore.

Well that’s good that it’s a universal issue, they tend to knock those out the fastest although it seems with Anet and pet AI in general, they tend to try to stay away from that most likely because any programming job related to the pet AI is probably a huge job to undertake. But definitely needs to be addressed and looked at atleast.

Thanks for confirming

Op, I’m not getting this issue at all.

Yes, its there. Best solution I’ve tried is to wait 1 second and then press F1. Doesn’t always work though.

However, there are times that it works flawlessly. While using a sword: knockdown from Wolf, swap to Jaguar, proceed to DPS. Must be because I’m already in melee range?

Use a pet and try to use their f2 skill, you’ll immediately notice the skill doesn’t activate when you press the button, or sometimes fails to activate alltogether. That’s it basically in a nutshell.
