The Ranger is a lie
I remember when Beastmaster Ranger was kind of fun in WvW. Back in the day the pet had enough range that you could send it out of a keep, or even on top of keep walls with guard. It was great fun to send a hard hitting jaguar against say, a squishy backline ele.
The sPvP people ruined all of that sadly
Would it be too much to ask to revert the pet leash nerf in WvW?
That to me was the worst kittening nerf. Having that 5k range on the leash was literally the only thing this class had that no other did. I was actually friggin’ useful in clearing open field sieges in WvW.
The main reason why it was nerfed it’s because half wits were complaining that rangers could run off to to another node while leaving the pet on mid.
Think about how utterly stupid that is for a minute.
Pet = bot.
Bot = PVE.
If you have problems PVEing 1 target, you have no business in trying to balance PVP.
Yet, that’s exactly who Anet listened to, half wits that can’t manage to kill one bot.
We have to remember that these are also the same people who can’t seem to figure out how to 2 shot spirits in spvp.
I still say all they need to do for the pet is increase the attack speed, and increase the movement speed of the pet.
The F2 is directly in relation to the skills Area Effect skill. If the pet bites then the pet has to be at the target. IF the pet breaths fire, then it still has to be at a certain distance from target before the F2 kicks in. Same with poison and stuns.
The F2 isn’t as broken as we think it is. It’s just that each pet has to be within a certain range of the target for that particular pets F2 to function. I almost wish that there was a RING around the pet that would show how close the pet needs to be for it’s F2 function to work.
