Guild Wars 2

I have recently found out that pets always deal minimum condition damage (a.k.a. same as ranger without malice, or any equipment). This makes pets useless for actual condition damage, its only useful contribution to the ranger apart from cheap direct damage or control being poison combo fields for the ranger to use to set up his own poisons. Discuss. Is this intentional? At the vary least, the pet should deal some condition damage above the minimum, especially since around lv80 a condition ranger would probably deal over 4-8 times the damage his pet would with conditions. This also is hampered by the 25 bleed limit. A lynx would waste this with minimum damage conditions.

Tested with a lv25 ranger, 70 malice + ~170 equipment condition damage bonus. Ranger PC did shockingly more damage per pulse of bleed then Lynx.

I think it is currently listed in the Ranger bug thread but I don’t know if it is an actual bug or just them being hopeful.
