Guild Wars 2

Is pet agony resistance working?
In the pet screen I see pet agony resistance is at zero all the time even if I have 10 in there. It also feels like pet is dying really fast because of agony.

Anyone has an idea if it is actually working?
And if not I hope Areanet will grant our pets the same agony resistance as we have it.

This is pretty important for fractals

dont hold your breath.

Today I was again in fractals lvl 13 and 14. I had 15 agony resistance while my pet still shows zero.
When there was agony damage I took very low damage while my pet seemed to get the full damage like I would with zero agony resistance.
Thats a major problem and in even higher levels it will be even worse.

I hope you take a look at this since it seems very easy to fix. Simply give them the same agony resistance as the ranger.

If this is the case, then I feel that this is quite important.

It only took them 4 months to attempt to address longbow. And the arrows are still avoidable without dodging and are still unreliable due to non-existent obstruction. In addition pets still don’t attack properly against moving targets. They’ve done almost nothing for rangers in launch. Just minor band-aids. If a ranger specific oversight is bothering you, go reroll one of the choosen classes because you won’t get a fix.

The fact that Agony Resist has been added to the pet screen makes it rather obvious the devs intend to add Agony Resist to pets at some point. Absolutely no reason to add a field for the stat if its never going to increase, waste of development time.

If I had to guess, I’d say the devs aren’t too concerned with pet agony resist just yet, because even players don’t have that much resistance to it yet. Once they start adding Ascended quality armors and players really start having more AR, thats when they’ll start looking at giving it to pets as well.

It could even be that pet AR is going to be based on armor infusions (maybe there will be certain infusions which give AR to both the player and pets). I assume its not just Ranger pets that are going to need AR, other minions / summons / turrets are going to need it to in order to avoid becomming obsolete. So having it on armor infusions would work well to distribute it to everything, as opposed to just throwing it on a Ranger trait and leaving everything else without.

That is true. Also necro pets and whatever other summons also need this resist or they will be obsolete.
