Would it be so OP if rangers were able to have Guard (Ground target hold position) as just baseline. I play longbow zerker which requires me to take advantage of long range and elevated levels. I really like the sniper playstyle but my pet spends 80% of the time either standing next to me doing nothing or running the long distance

They have pathing issues that players don’t have, we can jump down ramps and sometimes there isn’t even a path for them so they do nothing.

My suggestion is when you press pet attack without a target it becomes a ground target hold position, with a target it functions as normal.

Not sure if they count towards point capture which could make them OP so if they do turn that off Then put it on “Guard” which also adds a Protection and Regen instead of stealth.

If this happens it would be nice if you added a adept trait to beastmastery that makes pet camo (stealth breaks when pet moves) when holding position.

As it is right now my pet is only good when I’m in close range to target and for giving me buffs.

I do agree there should be a base “stay” function. Although I dont think it should have any buffs attached to it unless traited.

When I refer to “Guard” Im talking about the utility skill, I agree that there should be no buffs just for puting pet on stay
