I’ve been running the jungle stalker and the fern hound for might and healing respectively, and they’ve been pretty helpful for dungeon running. I was hoping that, in the future, there will be pets with F2 skills that can do more than applying boons or removing conditions.

For example, I would like to see a pet that can create a small protective bubble like the ones guardians have. They don’t even have to reflect projectiles, just destroy them. If it has to be balanced like having the bubble duration be 3 seconds and having the recharge time to be 60 seconds, then I would be okay with that.

Also, I was thinking about if it’s possible to add an additional function to the F1 command. Let’s say that if you target an ally and press F1, your pet will follow that ally and attack anything that ally is attacking or being attacked by. The default distance range between yourself and the pet should stay the same, and moving too far away should force your pet to move back to you. I see how it’ll get complicated when the pet is in the “guard” state rather than the “avoid combat” state, as well as activating offensive F2 skills to a target your pet isn’t currently targeting. But hey, it’s just a thought.

Actually Reef Drake’s underwater F2 gives reflective bauble for 5 seconds with a 40 CD (32 if traited). But I don’t know what’s wrong with Anet, they remove this ability and make it applying useless confusion (in PVE) instead…

I’d like to see Moas, Pigs, and Devourers to get their kits rebalanced to make them fit more supporty/tanky roles, that way they’d actually get used…

I’d say bears too, but they’re already extremely good meat shields due to having a slightly larger hit box than players (making them much more likely to intercept attacks), and the very likely option that they’ll give (as in they better) bears taunt on their bite skill instead of it applying regen.

They sing dark, delicious notes about power and family.
