Lornar’s Pass – Defeat Captain Jetsam (group event)

I did this with a shortbow and a bear… I didn’t need to heal very often and just stood there and the captain became my pin cushion. Ranger pets are cool but not when they mean you can take on a group event solo and not struggle.

Not sure if it is a bug because I was 10 levels above the area and although I scaled down maybe my pet didn’t.

I’ve killed champion mobs on my weak elementalist.
Just because you killed that mob doesn’t mean that ranger pets are OP. it just means that you played smart.

Yes ranger pet are incredibly OP, specially in pvp where they can hit a target even if it move very very fast, on pve they are incredible, nothing hit me since their aggro hold is amazing.

pet is awesome i love it.

Do dungeons and see if you can still say pets are OP.

Some must fight, so that all may be free!

You didn’t really explain how it was OP. like someone else said, you played smart and won. Why would want to be nerfed anyways? Winning one group battle does not equal OP anyways.

This is the problem, Rangers are infact in my opinion, op on overworld pve, outside of dungeons/pvp where you can brute force litterally everything, a ranger can solo soooo many things that they shouldnt be able to.

But then you get to dungeons, and pets are just flat BAD unless you do very specific set ups.

So why is ranger so UNSTABLE in power? on overland pve, I die kittenloads on my other proffesions if I accidently try and solo group events, but on my ranger, my pets will just not give 2 craps and slap it around.

I think the pet system needs some kinda rework or something lol.

I’ve done this event before at level 80, full exotics and I was the only one in the area. My bears where downed in three hits by the champion. Didn’t surprise me, wasn’t expecting them to stay up long. Ended up kiting it as always… like I would on my warrior, my thief, my mesmer or my elementalist.

What I’m trying to say is: Kiting is a viable strategy that isn’t a Ranger only skill. Its not “OP.”

Interesting since I came to the forums to QQ about my pets not holding aggro. What’s funny is they did yesterday but now if I send my pet in and hold fire, the mob comes straight for me. I’m in the same area with the same mobs…totally different experience today.

I just use my pet in PVP and get loads of kills. This is especially true in WvW.

Lol, I soloed champs on my guardian too. Rangers are good in pve outside dungeons sure, but in dungeons pets become buff bots or useless. In pvp….well rangers dont really get picked for pvp for a reason.

Ranger pets are not OP and you are deluding yourself if you say they are.

I would call that discriminating against a profession.

Uh no its called optimizing and efficiency. Ranger lacks efficiency. Why pick a ranger when every class does anything a ranger does but better and with less effort/bugs/reliance on pets that die in an aoe.
