Scrap the pet damage, give it to us
and make them utility. Let us use their other skills or at least one more of them. While at it, buff their utility, make people go “Oh kitten, that spider has 3 sec immobilize” or “kitten it, he is using the the wolf”.
Make them do low damage, live much longer, but still pull aggro in PvE.
Let them interrupt whatever they are doing when one of their skills are activated by the ranger.
Maybe go to the extreme; replace pet attribute bonus with “Pet skill cooldown reduction” and let their pathfinding algorithm update more often so they stop being stupid.
Yes. This. One hundred times this.
However, rangers are about the best farming class because of the dmg imbalance so you don’t lose too much in full MF gear. Which is the only thing I’m using my ranger for right now anyways until they deem the class worthy to be playable again.
