Guild Wars 2

Sometimes when I switch the pet with F4 during combat it will be be switched dead.
I don’t see a reason for this.
Example: Pet 1 is at 30% life I switch to Pet 2 and it is switched dead. Pet 2 wasn’t dead before I switched to Pet 1.

So: Pet 2 alive —> Switch to Pet 1 --> Switch back to Pet 2 (Pet 1 is still alive) —> Pet 2 is dead before it even gets hit.

This happened to me 3 times now. I was using river drake and snow leopard and both times the snow leo was dead.
This bug is very annoying really because switching a pet and having a dead pet is horrible for a ranger.

Hasn’t happened to me… anything else you can think of that could have caused this?

Which map were you in?

I was in WvW – EB

It just happened again during a fight – this time it happened on the jaguar. He spawned dead after F4

Happened to me too actually.. I thought I missed something…

Strange, I was in EB for a good 2 hours and didn’t get this… Anything else do you think might trigger this? Like the pet before it had a condition of some sort, or you swapped out your pet that died with a condition on it?

What I’m trying to say is that the recent change on the pet keeping cooldowns when put in the stable/swapped might be keeping conditions as well and kills them there. This is just speculation though.

Have you filed a bug report?

It happened at least 2-3 times again. One time using snow leo and jaguar the jaguar was dead on switch.
Just before we had a fight in WvW in Stonemist – my river drake died, I switched to my jaguar and he was dead too… that is really really bad. I have a 0/0/20/20/30 spec atm and I have no idea what might be causing this but it really has to be fixed because its really game breaking for bestmasters if their pet is dead for no reason.

I filled a bug report ingame but I mentioned the same things as here.
