Guild Wars 2

Pet leash range increased to 2000 units.

I am finding that I have to get much closer to a hostile before I can order the pet to attack it. Working as intended or have I misunderstood the meaning of the term leash?

The pets also dont seem to chase for any longer than they did before, before returning automatically. So either way it doesn’t seem to be working.

That’s because it wasn’t “increased” like stated, should be “decreased”, from 5000 to 2000 units I think.

it went from 3000 to 2000, not from 5000 to 2000….. yes they nerfed it, what did you expect?

It seemed greater than 3000 before the patch, but I think they over did it personally. They should have split leash range in PvP and PvE.

PvP: 2000
PvE: 3000

it was 5000 units , now its 2000

How does it work with “Sic Em” now then as that is supposed to have a range of 3000?

To me, this seems more like a nerf to fun than to rangers effectiveness, what problem were they trying to solve here? In PVE I don;t even know why we have a leash.

man, i have no idea. A lot of the patch changes were not really thought out properly

Yeah, “increased” indeed. Bit of a laugh… Even the supposed 2000 don’t feel like it anyway. In wvw i now spend my time looking at “Your pet is too far away from its target” every time i try to do something useful with the pet other that “skirmish range DPS extension”.

No more scaling walls, no more rezzing, no more hunting independently at range… Everything unique about the specific class mechanic is slowly dropped until it becomes just a few more numbers in combat. Good for everyone that wants a Sniper class, sad for whoever liked the semi-independent companion.
