With the last patch when I use protect me I cannot contest supply camps or other areas in WvW.
From what I read a while ago only immunity/stealth should disable contesting but not skills which leave you vulnerable to conditions/cc’s.
Is this a bug? Is there the same issue with signet of stone and with endure pain or berserk stance on warrior?
I hope this is a bug.

Knowing Anet it’s probably a “fix”, hopefully it’s a bug though, because if it isn’t Protect Me just became useless in sPvP

It’s Endure Pain that relies on pets.

I’ll test both and then edit this post with my findings..

If I’m not mistaken, I read that out of the patch notes the patch before this one. I didn’t say anything because I had already given up on ranger back then. I remember being a little surprised nobody brought it up on this forum though.

Guess I was wrong, but I definitely read it somewhere a while back.

Endure pain does not cap a point either, i have not tested berserkers stance but i’m almost positive that it still caps it since the engi state does.

It was useless in before so it’s useless now. Giving +pet health to all game types and/or reducing damage transfered to pet by 50%-75% would be welcomed. As it is now, you can use it 1v1 if you run with bear as a pet. Nobody who does any PvP outside of big zerg blobs runs with bear pet. Yet bear dies quickly under the shout if more than 1 player focuses you. It works only for situations like you want your pet to work like 2-shot aegis. After 2 hits he’ll be probably dead. If not, send him to attack and break the shout, preventing it from dying.
