Guild Wars 2

Pets are terribly slow. Any enemy with swiftness will be untouchable even for the HoT pets.
You try it with the smokescale and between smoke assaults will not be able to hit anything with +33% speed.
Not even traited with BM . Without it it won’t be able to hit any moving target with +25% (so everybody).

My pet can’t keep up with my druid. And that should say it all.

This is a joke. My pet should be able to hit enemies reliably (even with swiftness) when at least i treated it with BM , without the need to use one skill from the LB to be sure i can apply swiftness to it.

i was chased by a warrior, the warrior is chased by my drake/cat… you see its a cycle warrior have hard time hitting me while my pet have hard time hitting him

so we ran ALOT ALOT of merry go-a-round until he gave up fighting me

seems legit to me

Do you have the video of it? It would be so much fun to watch it with Benny’s hill background music.

nope i dont like to record videos

i only wish they decrease the casting time of all pet skills and increase pets movement speed so they can catch up with them

All “pets” (ranger pets, necro minions and mesmer clones) in this game were designed poorly. They are the lowest quality I’ve seen in a game.

At least necro has a choice, though.

Agility Training should have been made baseline with an additional speed boost trait.

And the AI should be made reliable, of course.

Because if our pets could actually hit someone in PvP, the tears would be epic. Smokescale’s teleport is case-in-point of that. It’s also the biggest reason why most PvP rangers/druids use it.

Ranger has been my main profession since starting the game and I can tell you pets are practically useless in PVP without Pet’s Prowess to speed them up. I don’t think I even use any builds without that trait anymore. The pet is half your damage, so this is really important in PvP.

My pet is never, ever, ever, ever, ever with me. He’s always behind, even when I switch, they are always behind, so far behind that the person I am trying to chase or hit must be laughing their heads off as I die because my pet’s skills aren’t anywhere near where I needed him to be.

If I can’t even swap and get the pet close enough; if I have to wait for him to catch up with me, he’s not a pet, he’s a drag on what I could really do if given the real deal and allowed to have a pet that can at the very least stay up with me and be with me when switching.

yar yar when a pet is traited it gain SHADOW STEPS ….. nah this ain’t gona happen
