Hello!
Before you punish me for it, I want to say sorry for my quite bad English spelling, but I’ll try to not make many mistakes.
First of all I want to discuss about pets:
When I started playing this game, that was 30 October, I made an guardian, which bored me already at 22Lvl. After that I went to forums, YouTube, reddit and other things and decided to play ranger, not only because I like ranged weapons, but I loved that you can CHARM PETS AND MAKE THEM LOVE YOU FOREVER’ that was awesome. I really enjoyed playing with shortbows, axes and longbows, my pets saved me many times. It’s amazing feel.
…
Reached 80Lvl. with my friend, after some more dungeon runs we went to WvW and.. I was really, but really amazed how awesome this thing is.. And there I got dissapointed for first time, when I compared my DPS at full berserker’s gear from CoF to an warrior, which dealt some more damage, and had a lot more survivability, but then I remembered that my pet can still do damage etc. which restored my faith.
After many hours on WvWvW I tested tons of builds, pets and stuff, and I found that pets don’t really act reallistic.
First of all:
• Why are they “regenerating” after death and out of combat, instead of being downed like players and waiting to get ressed by their owner? I think healing your dead or downed pet would be way better feeling, because it’s connecting you to your pet even more, makes rangers more like rangers. Also if you swap from dead pet to another one, you would get another one of course, but if you try to swap into the one that died before, it will respawn NEAR YOU (idk, maybe in 300 range) and you will have to revive it yourself using F. If you wouldn’t do this, you wouldn’t be able to use this pet or switch it to another one using pet management menu, IT’S DEAD.
Another thing is.. why aren’t there any skills on bows or any other ranger weapons which makes both you and your pet do an action, like you use “spell 4” which stuns your target and makes your pet heal on each succesful hit or another one which will maybe make your pet knock down your foe for 1,5s and if you hit enemy with “spell X” on longbow/shortbow duration of knock down would get increased by another 1,5s to a total of 3 seconds, that would be really awesome.
For now, I have played ranger for ~500 hours
Hope you liked it.
That’s not yet complete, but had to post is as soon as possible, because many things destroy this class even harder, and those are basics
