Ranger pet ideas
Dire Wolf, a revamped version of the current Canine pets, brought up to par with HoT pets (-minus Wyvern)
A dolphin. Since they took away moving spirits i can’t swim with dolphins anymore. :’-(

Celestial pets
Celestial version of pets
Celestial upgrades to pets
you know to keep up with the celestial avatar theme the druid has going on.
White Rabbit. And a Ferret w/ Mug.
All I’ve ever wanted was the scaled drake. The crocodile looking ones. We had them in beta, it was called marsh drake, it even had the scaled drake icon for years after beta. I dont know why they changed it, but it makes me sad and kittened off every time I see it now.
Pocket Raptors (F2 calls 5 other Raptors)
Gorilla (F2 being a knockdown)
Phoenix (F2 being a fire attack)
Warg (F2 being a stun)
Chicken (F2 being a healing egg)
Rabbit (F2 being an AoE cripple)
Dolphin (F2 being a sink)
Turtle (F2 being AoE protection)
Oh yeah more dinosaurs.
And all those different version of griffons, I cant see why they weren’t added yet. And the rainbow phoenix from gw1 but I guess that one’s extinct

Phoenixes never die only Be reborn.
Fixing the current pets before adding new ones. They need a bump because Ranger as a whole relies on pets for situational battles. Many of them are bad or need a tune up to the current pets.
Landshark when?
King Shark ? then i would like to see Killer Croc and penguin

Agreed, if the original pets were at the level of the HoT ones then we’d be in a much better place.

Well in that case they’re taking their sweet time being reborn from their ashes.
Pocket raptors would be a really fun pet to use
I’m happy we got a form of Skale… But I’ve always really wanted a Skelk Lurker
I just imagine the F2 being something like, “shadow step to your foe for 3 critical attacks.” It’d be handy for when your target tries to run away and you can just send your pet straight to them. Or even just to keep your pet on top of them. + It’d be amphibious so another under water pet \o/
Other options I’d love to have would be:
Minotaur
F2 ability is a change and launch.
Stats something like Canines. High power, mid range health/toughness.
Ornery Crab
F2 ability is an 8second invulnerability.
Amphibious pet
Stats similar to Drakes. High power/toughness/health, slow attacks.
Wasp
F2 ability is an assault type attack that hits multiple times.
Stats like Birds, high precision, mid range power, low health/toughness
Pocket Raptors
F2 ability is a summon. More Raptors join for a short duration similar to the Hyena.
Stats similar to Spiders. Mid range power/precision, low toughness, high health.
Note the “s” in Raptors, say it’s always a pack of 3 that share the same stats/health pool and 3 more are summoned with the F2.
Beetle ( HoT type Beetles )
F2 ability is a knockdown + 5stacks of Vulnerability.
Stats similar to Bears (high health/toughness, low offensive stats) but with abilities heavily focused on CC. Knockdowns, Launches and Stuns. Maybe Cripple on it’s auto attack.
Champion: Phantom, Hunter, Legionnaire, Genius
WvW rank: Diamond Colonel | Maguuma
- Griffon (that can actually fly – not like the wyverns we have now)
- Dolyak (like those found in Verdant Brink)
Also, an overhaul on the existing pets would be nice. If they are not traited, thay are useless.
- Dolyak (like those found in Verdant Brink)
A pack Dolyak with an F2 skill providing 5 supplies to everyone in 300 range would certainly make us a bit more appreciated in wvw.

The Crocodile From GW1
A Shadow Skelk → F2: AoE Stealth
Gimme a kitten set of giant snakes. Gimme a panda bear. Gimme a set of Wisp pets for Druids. Gimme a fox and have it appear in both the canine and feline sections. Finally, gimme a goldfish. Also I need a horse.

Lol thatd b super op in wvw and absolutely useless in pvp/pve XD
Rangers/Druids have a lack of Condi DPS pets:
1. Phoenix (Condi DPS via Burning, medium range)
—> F2: Burning Aura (allied players inflict burning on critical hits for x seconds)
2. Desert Snake (Melee Condi DPS)
—> F2: Fiery Whip (Snake whips his enemy with his fiery tail for a short burst, including stacking a bit of might for itself, but “looses” the tail in the process, inflicting a certain amount of hp as damage onto itself)
—> F2 Alternative: Fiery Grip (Snake entangles enemy, immobilizing it for a short duration while pulsing burning)
—> F2 Alternative: Fiery Spit (Snake spits a pool of burning lava onto the ground, creating a small fire field around the target that inflicts burning)
Snakes could generally come in all condition variants (poison = swamp, bleeding = mountain, confusion = crystal) and could find a place as condition dps pets to provide builds specializing solely on conditions an alternative.
Vital to melee pets is that their auto-attack includes sth like a shadowstep or short jump towards the target so that they cling to the enemy like bees to honey and can deal with mobile targets.

I want a Llama with aoe fear field.
I want a Sloth with condi shake and knockdown slam. (only obtainable from raid).
I want snakes in general ~ preferably condi focused.
And obviously an overhaul on current pets, possibly placing buff/debuff >traps< on activation instead of one use items(pig/boar etc..).
