Guild Wars 2

The idea – find and commune with a spirit animal, like the norn aspects. When equipped, instead of a pet, the ranger gets a passive boost and a f2 ability. For example,

bear aspect
+ 30% vitality
f2: roar (animation like the ranger greatsword 2) and grant regen to nearby allies

Rangers could even use one pet / one aspect, and feel like they have an actual companion instead of being some kind of pokeminion master. Also, this would be easy to implement into the existing system – I bet many people would prefer this even if pet traits and skills just did nothing. If something like this was an option, ranger would easily be my favorite class.
