Guild Wars 2

I was thinking maybe it’s not such a bad idea, they could be given a few defensive skills as a last resort on F1 F2 F3 like a one use search and rescue for one of them, some could have regen on one, others maybe a cleanse things like that so they are not totally useless when they die but can privide minor defensive benefits in boons or help to rez since they cannot fight, another one I thought of would be the old pet rez exept only the ranger himself could rez his pet it could also be done via the “F” button as a spell rather than the interact one in a similar cd timer as your own downed state pet rez.

What do you think of such an idea? please also add other suggestions you can think of that would fit for this without being too strong to be conceivable.

Sure, but then I’ll need another thing: a way to make my pet perma dead.

Well that doesn’t sound like something to aim for…

Personally, I think we should have Search and Rescue resurrect the pet if its dead or bring it back up to full if it’s damaged. It’s on an 85 second cd anyway (much longer than the death timer), and it’ll give us a reason to use it. It’ll make it a pet-rez and ally-rez at the same time.

It would be cool if the ranger was enraged when the pet died.

“Not my pet! GRAWRRRR!!!”

Actually, we have a trait similar to it: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Beastmaster%27s_Bond

Not exactly when dead, but when pet is injured. Would be nice to change that trait though. Rewarding the player for letting the pet get damaged isn’t really a good mechanic. Also, PETA will get mad :P

Allow pets to rally when you kill an enemy.

I like this idea as well. It was suggested a few weeks (months?) ago and I really like the idea of my pets rallying from my kills.
