Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Has anyone experienced Seach and Rescue not working when the pet is on passive mode?

I jumped in last night to help my guildmates in Arah kill the Giganticus Lupicus, however I did not want my pet to die and set it to passive. When one of my teammates went down, I tried using SnR next to them and the pet did nothing. It happened many times over the course of an hour. When I set the pet to aggressive mode, SnR worked every time.

At the same time, if the pet does not actually get a valid target to revive (not in range, no one to revive in the area, etc) why does the shout have to go on 100% cooldown. It is such a potential waste of triggering a second SnR when another teammate dies. I can live with the fact that I used SnR on the spot but my target revived before my pet could help, but not with the above.

Devs please keep this in mind for May 28th!

I experienced same problems in cof running with a pug that just couldn’t stay alive, so I used s nr with many failed attempts even while very to the diwned player. I didnr have them targeted because I was trying to kite boss. Bam no res ang now it’s on cd. Stupid. Its too buggy for me to waste a slot on.

The problem with search and rescue is search and rescue
Only way to get devs to fix it is to not slot it so they see how bad it is…though granted that’s worked out great for other stuff so far…

It’s a great idea for a mechanic and all, but yea, it’s too buggy. :/

Don’t get me wrong, you don’t need to press shift T and target a player, I just mean using SnR nearby a fallen ally. It works every time when the pet is in agresive mode, but why wouldn’t it work in passive either? Weird.
