Guild Wars 2

Can anyone suggest a pet that works in dungeons ?

All melee pets are totally useless , i can see ranged pets doing ok

I am hoping Rangers in future can do things with out pets and hopefully can rely on making a more powerful build for just players to play with no pet at all

Pets are ok in open world play only i feel

I use Two bears… works pretty okay

I swap between 2 devourers (lakittenail and carrion)

Bears, Devourers, and Spiders are your best bets overall. Bears tend to last the longest of any of them as even the ranged pets get stuck in uncontrollable AoE. It’s a tough road with pets right now but it’s where the class it just have take what’s most durable and work with it the best you can. You can also have some success with other pets if you’re willing to micromanage a lot and work with their buffs. This involves having to pay attention a lot though and being prepared to call them back to you.

Aye, because of Gw2 Pets not getting the standard 90% reduction in AoE as most games have now. You will see most use Bears. Even then they are still dead, but between it they are easiest to keep up. (They are supposedly working on this prob) Because all pets should be usable. Its near impossible beyond normals to keep anything up; unless you like to spend more time microing your pet then hitting the mobs yourself or not getting killed yourself.

Most people that refuse to switch out or touch bears, simply sit their pets on sideline during fights where you know you can’t manage the AoE.
And tbh there is nothing wrong with that since either way the dps would end up being the same lol. Sending your pet in to pick here n there vs them being Downed 80% of the time for 80% of the run.

Same issue in WvW to among other things.
