Guild Wars 2

A long time ago rangers had the ability to pet swap out of combat off of the cooldown. This however was changed as people were able to swap and stack pets buffs (2 mins regen/swiftness w/e) due to how pets did not remember the skills they use after they were swapped. With the latest patch the pets now recall their abilities so it stands to reason that pet swap outside of combat should be reverted back to its natural state. If it is not set back to its original state then it sets a dangerous precedent for things like the mesmer “bandaid” CD for shatters. Anyway since the problem of repeated buff stacking on pet swap is fixed peel off the bandaid solution you gave us to fix it.

Thanks A-Net.

They don’t keep their current recharges when swapping back; that was a UI bug that was fixed in an unannounced mini-patch. I think there is a happy medium that can be reached; perhaps decreasing the out-of-combat recharge to 10 so as to cause less handicap to rangers while still keeping them from stacking excessive boons.

Ahh, well the cooldown appears to be fixed but the “recharge” timer seems to not be fixed. (can use it when it shows it is still on CD) TT I just want out of combat pet swap back :/
