Guild Wars 2

Huh? I must have missed something, since I never thought they did share cd in the first place, except for the two identical spiders (and possibly some other pet)?

I also didn’t know they shared cooldown on those skills. I thought it was just similar F2 skills.

But I wouldn’t really know for sure since I’ve been running around with a Red Moa on passive for ages.

they never shared cooldown. The tooltips did not properly reflect this fact due to both skills being the same one, but on two different sources.

They could still be used, even if they said they had XX seconds cooldown.

This was tested pre and post feature patch.

Wow, my original post is gone.

I am pretty sure I couldn’t use 2 dogs before for 2 knockdowns, but I don’t remember any tests, though.

I’m very picky with which pets I take and I do remember I never took 2 pets from the same family (eg 2 canines) because their skills had global cooldowns, almost as if they were tied to the ranger, as if the ranger used their skills.

no, they never had global CD, even before BM nerf. They always had same CD. Only Jelly F2 has had issues with shared CD if my memory serves me right

I’m not at my computer. Is the f2 cooldown still shared for the legacy pets from GW1 and their counterparts?

I tested it out, they are still shared. By GW1 legacy pets I meant the hall of monument ones that are different skins of pets. like Black widow/jungle spider

Prysin is correct. Everyone else is wrong. If you use a normal pet F2, and then swap to it’s doppleganger hall of monuments version the F2 cd will APPEAR to be on cd as there will be a black timer on it counting down from your first pet making it look like they are shared. However, you can still use the F2 which will put that skill on cd (appearing to reset the timer). That means, they aren’t shared and they never have been!

Omg; time to unleash double bears!
