Guild Wars 2

So I was thinking, why doesn’t ANET just make pets essentially Mimic their masters stats? This would allow people to go super glass canon like they seem to want so much and would allow everyone to sort of build their pets as they will.

However, some people, such as myself, don’t want their pet to have the same stats as them. So I was thinking ANET could make the Trait Instinctual Bond in BM (essentially worthless now) make it so the pet no longer scales off your stats but gets a huge surge in stats to fit its family. IE: bears are super tanky, cats and birds damage etc.

Thoughts?

I like the current system, that specs for player/pet are independent of each other. If I go for very high condition damage, that may not benefit my pet of choice at all (drakes).

So no, current system is the best. Apparently Anet felt the same way designing it since it is what it is.

Yeah, i kinda like it the way it is too, but i gotta say we do kinda get super kitten for going pure damage compared to everyone else, that and the sPvP forums are kittening up a storm because rangers can be bunkers and still have really high damage xD

Or just use the pets that are for the relevant role. Drakes cleave, so they’re good for mauling groups. Bears are tanky, birds are glass cannon, ect.
