Q:

So I was wondering if pets share the same AR as their Ranger or how does it work?

A:

Nope they don’t. High level fractals, say good bye to your pets because they pretty much insta-die when hit with agony.

No idea why pets don’t share stats, let alone AR.

Ahh ok thanks, so Rangers are pretty much screwed on high level fractals.

Related to this, we’re also a little screwed against Shades on the Grenth event in Orr. Your pet can never do damage to shades, ever.

We’re also screwed in WvW. Pets can’t attack the quaggan power nodes.

I was thinking about Pets and AoE and it dawned on me that the ‘2s protection on dodge roll’ was likely the game mechanic intended to protect our pets from this.

It might work if we actually got 2s instead of the seemingly 0.5s we get now.

I don’t think that was the purpose behind that trait, and it still isn’t enough to deal with high level agony. I’m not one to complain about the pet mechanic, however this just flawed and unreasonable.
