Guild Wars 2

Is it just me or I feel that pets really lack uhmm.. content.

I feel like I just choose the pet for the f2 and you know the occasional knockdowns. Coming from WoW, I really miss the times that I can customize my pet via their own pet traits.

For example, There was a trait (forgot what its called) that allows your pet gain lifesteal on every attack, and that’s their own pet trait. Here in Gw2, I don’t wanna waste a trait slot for carnivorous appetite just to make my bird last a little bit longer. When I can slot something else to improve my damage or survivability.

I wish we could trait via pet traits reduced dmg for AoE attacks while not sacrificing our own gear itself. the Ai for now is good after they improved f2 responsiveness.

The beastmastery Traitline Should have a unique selection than what we have (i.e. Making regular attacks bleed or gain stability at f2 <—- I mean who uses this second one?) The choices should be more ranger and pet oriented at the same time benefiting both aspects then the Pet Trait should handle the pet improvements alone.

PS: Another QoL they should add is, when I jump of a ledge like in Spirit Watch, the pet should follow me down, not take the entire long way just to get down, i often start fights waiting my pet to take the detour.

So what ya guys think?

no one ineterested?

Yeah not going to happen, since we don’t get class revamps here, just some tweeks every 9 months. Yes the pet system could have been done way better in this game, but it is what it is.

You don’t focus on making your pet better, cause it will never be good enough to make something important.

First you look how to maximize your dps, and then have the pet as support to your role.

The pet is far from useless, but it is also far from what a real pet class should be like. At the moment, the pet just helps. It’s not half your class.

we still need more pets
