Guild Wars 2

EDIT : I Thought that F4 was an unused key my bad. Since i use a razer naga, all my F keys are already bound so i didnt remember. All i want is a new key to control these abilities.

There is some amazing skills in each pets BUUUUT, the AI can often (most likely) will use it at the wrong time, wasting it or losing time doing it when its not necessary.

So my suggestion put that skill on a new button(F whatever) and perhaps for people who dont want to control it, make it like in other game where you can click on it so the AI take charge.

Here is the skills im refering to.

Harmonic Cry for Moa : It heals 3 tick but the moa only use it when it get damaged. Having control over it, ranger could bring some healing when needed, not when the moa take a small hit and waste its time and the heal only for itself.

Brutal Charge from wolves : a proper time knockdown is super useful. An improper knockdown serve no purpose.

Quickening Screech from birds : Super useful when you are chasing a player. When you are against a boss in pve, the birds lose ton of time to put up the screech which serve no purpose and sometime getting it killed in a aoe. Having access ourselves to that run speed, we could use it while running outside or in a movement phase.

Tailswipe from drake : Super useful to time it in a fire or water field and the damage is really not shaby. But its the first thing the drake do! sometime just delaying it for 3-4 seconds i could hit 3-4 enemies or use it in the water field instead of wasting it.

Bite from cats : Hardest hitting attack and it could serve as a burst. Its the first thing the cat do while entering combat, having it on a special button, i could time it with my next signet/sic em giving us a nice timed burst.

Defy pain from bears : being able to time it the bear will be able to avoid an attack from a boss and not waste it on auto attacks where it is fine.

Brutal Charge from pig : Another knockdown . Well time it can play in our hand, randomly done with the long cast time it often miss and serve no purpose.

Entangling Web from spiders : well place immobilize in pvp is crucial but serve no purpose while a warrior is doing 100b.

Tail Lash : pushing back the enemy could make some interesting play to stand on your devourer, giving longbow ranger more time to dps.

So i dont think that this small change would make us OP but it would definately make the pet more useful for me!

Thanks for reading.

So you’re wanting us to lose the ability to swap pets in order to have more control over the pets moves even though it’s really easy to tell when they’ll use them? No way.

Instead of removing the pet swap, F1 and F3 should be merged into a toggle button, opening up the F3 slot for more pet control.

Oh i didnt notice that F4 was the switch button!

I dont want to lose the ability to switch, i just want one more button to the pet control and these abilities to be on that button.

I thought switching pet was on f3. Since all my buttons are bound on my razer, i dont look anymore on what F they are

edit: there i edited the F4 part

jcbroe.4329:

true, if the pet is running back to you , pressing F1 send him attack. If he is on attack, pressing F1 call him back to you.

Would be perfect too and that would clear f3
