Guild Wars 2

Do all pets attack at the same speed or do some attack more often?

Test out a couple. There’s noticable differences between, say, bears and drakes. Birds and bears seem to be the slowest attackers of the bunch, cats being the fastest.

Open your pet pannel and hover over the left most skill displayed of the four skills they have. That should be the auto attack (unless I’m mistaken). I believe generally melee pets have a casttime of 1/2 second on their AA, while ranged pets like spiders and devourers have a 3/4 second casttime.

Different melee pets also have different amounts of aftercast on their auto’s as well. It should be noted that the bird AA, while slow, hits twice.

Also, someone did a whole thread on pet dps by comparing the damage from their auto’s and adding tallies. Not sure where it’s buried. Hopefully someone could dig it up for you.
