Hiya
headsup just need to apologize if my writing is not that understandable as english is not my main language.
Now, since I’ve been rolling out on my ranger almost all my gw2 gameplay without really to care about my pet and what it does when i engage combat etc, i finally started to look out for it. (kitten me right?) Well, the proposition is actually very simple, and would give any ranger class players at least a heads up on what your pet is carrying other then knowing what skills you make it perform. I’ve noticed that all the buffs and de-buffs a pet’s carrying is hidden, unless you click and highlight your pet, just like you would on any enemy or NPCs. after clicking you pet, the normal avatar with health and name shows up with additional buffs and that sort.
So, question one would be, if there’s an option (in settings maybe) to let you see your pets buffs and de-buffs permanently somewhere on the screen, like you would on your character(over you skill bar to the right)? Because, its tedious to interrupt your attack in order to click on your pet to find out if your pet has been striked with either chilled/poison, just to name a few. Now you can probably see a small effect overall on your pet, but not really knowing HOW LONG it affects it. If pets are meant to take as much part in a ranger play through, at least give its buff and de-buffs a permanent look, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on actually important info.
so to sum this up, i would like to actually see what my pet is carrying regarding buff and de-buff permanently somewhere on my screen knowing what affects it, regarding solution to actually use it against opponents. I’ve been thinking if this hasn’t been brought up anywhere and its a good solution, i would like to add a suggestion to have the buffs stored up permanently just above the pets skill bar.
