I’m aware many Rangers have long wanted a “No Pet” feature, where they simply play with they’re pets stowed, however Ranger is balanced with the pet in mind and removing it cripples the Rangers performance.
I’ve even heard many players like Rangers, but selected another class because of unwanted companion, or others that quit the class because of pets.
Here’s my solution:
- Create 3 pets that is stowed by default, such as a fairy, wisp or mist animal.
- The pet has no stats aside Vitality, the top 5 skills are invisible with this pet.
- The pet will appear similar to function gyro’s when downed 3 is used or other means.
- The three pets boosts one of your stats, either Toughness, Vitality or Healing Power
– The selected stats is lined with Anets philosophy of limiting Zerk Power creeping.
– Depending on the selected pet, it awards (About) 300 of one of the stats
– This will also enable Druids to play without pets and gain 300 Healing instead. - The pets can only be uptained in Verdant Brink, incentivizing HoT’s purchase.
- If needed, these pets can utilize F1 to F3 in terms of self abilities, here are examples:
– F1 Grant yourself Superspeed for 3s (30s CD)
– F2 Kick your foe, crippling them for 3s, 300 Knockback (45s CD)
– F3 Your pet covers your area in mist, evade for 3/4s. (60s CD)
These are mostly inaccurate numbers and mostly offer idea’s of a work around petless rangers. Positive or negative feedback is appreciated and do leave a like if you agree!
