Guild Wars 2

I know this issue has been brought up numerous times, but I am hopeful if we continuously bring it up it will eventually be considered. Irenio, please give rangers the ability to control the pet 2nd skill. This will help make so many more pets become viable in this game if we could control :

Tail swipe blast finisher
Canine knockdown
Smokescale smoke field
Spider poison field
Bear defy pain
Bird swiftness
… Etc….the list is endless

You guys completely redesigned mortar kit for Engis because it was never used. Please consider giving ranger’s the same treatment since most of our pets are hardly ever used. A good suggestion was made on this forum recently to selectively choose our F2 per pet if adding an extra button is too OP or difficult to do. This way the default does not need to change.

I’d laugh if they were to eventually add access to a second pet skill but tie it to the Beastmastery traitline.

The UI would be really easy too. Keep it the same, and when you pull up the pet skills menu you click the one you want on F2. It’s a good Band-Aid fix if they ever plan on giving us workable pets.

Edit to capitalize Band-Aid since it’s a brand name.

You mean something like this, like how we choose our heals/utilities/elites?

I meant this screen, so they don’t even have to adjust the UI at all. Make the skill clickable to become the F2 and that’s all that’s needed.

Ah, I see. Hmm… Call me greedy, I’d like both. :P
