Currently shared anguish mitigates CC’s even when the pet is at zero health. Not sure if this is a bug, but this really needs to be nerfed/fixed, because as is things are a little ridiculous.
Post it to the Ranger Bug list in the subforum section. Irenio checks that one and it’s organized and updated by Taverius. Better there than being lost into the 2nd page here with all the threads about Druid popping up.
why do non ranger players always come to these forums to get a blaise class nerfed down?
Ive NEVER seen that happen to my ranger when my pet is dead.
I actually main a ranger, but I was playing on my guardian today and I noticed it. It’s clearly not working as intended, and just because you haven’t noticed it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I’ll try to get a screenshot

Honestly, its really absurd for a “main” Ranger to come and ask for his own class to be nerfed in such a way. Every other class has access to one of these traits that has no downside at all, yet you are suggesting that Ranger’s should have one? It is bad enough that we are able to be locked out of our class mechanic, now you want our traits to be nerfed when that happens as well?
It seems pretty reasonable to me. Pet is defeated, Shared Anguish affects the pet, if it’s dead, it shouldn’t activate.
Guess I’m not a true Ranger. :P
I suppose I don’t have a big problem with it, as long as they balance it out by making all the other classes ones not work for a period of time while their class mechanic is on CD or they don’t have full adrenaline or initiative. I suppose it would be fair then.

No true Ranger main would ask for this.
This.
This request is mind boggling. Why would you want to cripple ranger with something no other class has? And watch Anet go ahead and do it too. Only they won’t balance the other classes traits and make them have a downside too.
I don’t play Ranger anymore, even though I would love to, because it’s so ridiculously rubbish compared with my second choice of class (and most/all of the others, from what I keep hearing).
Rangers are frequently called “rallybots” and “free bags” in WvW.
So, the idea that anyone could think anything needs nerfing about Ranger just leaves me feeling totally incredulous.
Some people just want an even freer bag, I guess?

If your pet is dead…
SWAP PETS.
Ranger is about pet-management, like it or not. That isn’t going away, ever. However, rangers being able to ignore any cc infinitely on a 10 second ICD regardless of the fact that the pet can be dead, and therefore there is no downside to taking the trait.
Anybody defending this bug or insulting me with false xenophobic statements is frankly delusional, because this isn’t working as intended.

The Frack.
60 second.
Its on a 60 second cooldown. Where the hell are you getting 10sec ICD from?
Sounds like you’re the one being delusional now mate.
60 seconds is a lifetime in PvP. Have you seen the stability uptime other classes have access to btw?

Wot?
…. Shared anguish is on a 60 second cooldown.
This guy is clearly a ranger main.

Right? Maybe the Op should go take a look at the amount of stability a warrior can chain together and then come back and say ignoring 1cc on a 60 sec cooldown is too much.

Don’t you just love it when people claim to be maining a class and then proceed to spout complete nonsense about it? Like others have said, Shared Anguish is on a 60 second cooldown. It doesn’t reset when you swap pets. I can’t even imagine how you could even think for an instant that this was possible. If anyone’s delusional here, it’s you. Also, like others also have mentioned, swapping a dead pet puts pet swapping on a 60 second cooldown. There’s absolutely no advantage to letting your pet die on purpose, even if this trait works while they’re dead, because you’d just be crippling yourself both in terms of damage and utility (F2 and pet swap traits you might have taken in your build).
Maybe this is bugged, yeah, but it’s in no way overpowered or worth all this fuss. Just post it in the ranger bug thread and stop trying to portray it like it’s some kind of huge game breaking thing, because it’s not.

I got an idea. How about changing the trait so that when your pet takes the cc for you, you die out of sympathy?

Seriously though, are you saying that Shared Anguish reverts to a 10 sec icd when the pet is downed, or what?

Plz! Nerf core ranger!
Not because it’s good, but because i think, that ranger can be in worse state than atm.
I believe, that you can make it worse, because you did that for 3 years already.
I don’t like the passive condi-mover, but you can, in principle, use SoR and then swap pets, completely wiping the transferred conditions (I’m sure this isn’t practical in real play, or it’d be more commonly done, but in principle, the option is there)
None of this says Shared Anguish is strong enough, though. I’m just saying, sometimes other classes suffer.
My bad, I’m at school currently and I don’t have access to the game client. I’m just saying that it doesn’t make sense for the dead pet to still absorb cc’s. I apologize for my missed accuracy.
However, attacking me for not having the cooldown right is toxic and non-productive. We should be focusing on the fact that this isn’t working as intended, or making sense.
For any good rangers, keeping the pet alive/managing your petswap is a non-issue anyways, and unless they are focusing on your pet this shouldnt be a problem.

Not sure if you actually know what you are talking about but it’s on a 60s cool down. Which is practically the longest cool down for a CC removal of any class not to mention it essentially makes your pet useless. If they buffed it to 10s CD then I would support your but nerfing what is probably the crappiest cc removal is hilarious.
Calling others delusional when you havent exactly got your facts straight isnt exactly nice either. Also the pet isnt “dead” it’s in a “defeated state” just like many NPCs which then essentially walk around in an “out of combat” mode.
A dead pet is what they had years ago where we actually had to rez the pet every time it died.

Yeah, the current state of thief is ridiculous. I main a guardian and in sPvP and I build pretty tanky.
Sounds about right..
Yeah, I main a guardian in sPvP, but I run a Ranger in PvE and World Versus World. Even if I didn’t main a ranger, what difference would it make? My eyesight would still be the same and game balance would still be in mind… logic much?
Really.

There you go, a perfect explanation for the people more concerned with role playing than they are with game balance.
The pet is still alive but while it is in its defeated state it is immune to cc and damage because….. magic. Happy now?
such a better trait than Shared Anguish
