Spiders cause immobilize not Stun, meaning they can attack and use defensive skills.

A hammer warrior can do it way better.

But Vs a Guard or ele stun not work most of the time.

You’re the only troll here.

OP Thanks for posting something new to play around with!

Someone else is getting clever. I do the same thing but with the fear wolf (better for rezzes/downed state). I also use a LB for the knockback. Being able to shut down a single target is a lot of fun. I’ve been using this in Paids. Porcine pets are underrated.

Not sure what you’re talking about, I’ve done something like this before and it works just fine, dunno what you’re getting at.

It’s a good thing PvE mobs can not think for themselves.

My Guardian has 3 stun breaks up (one on a 16 sec timer), my Mesmer not only has three up, but can send two conditions you’ve put on me, onto you after you’ve been hit with your first stun, thanks to Mirror of Anguish. My Sword/Dagger Thief has stun break constantly available thanks to Infiltrators Strike, the #2 sword ability.

Stuns are great against novice players, but players who understand the power of stun breaks will not have a problem against a stun build. You’re better off focusing on something else for your build to be honest.

Or hope you only fight other Rangers. O.O

Sweet “out of the box” thinking. Ranger community needs more of it. I’m going to try this in W3 later on and see what happens. Thanks for posting.

I just think they need more practice.

i’ve been trying this recently, and it works great – though i use wolf and hyena rather than pigthing as i hate the environmental weapon mechanic – means you’re not dpsing while ccing, means the enemy can actually pick it up! means delay on casting etc etc. Yeah i got the idea from a youtibe video that was posted on the tips and tricks thread about pet stowing – though he only chained 3 ccs for some reason lol

The enemy cannot pick it up.

it’s been a while since i ran with forage, it was on siamoth but i’m 99% sure an enemy picked it up on a couple of occassions (sometimes after i was defeated – don’t know if that makes a difference) 100% sure allies can – which can be almost as annoying lol This was sPvP, don’t know if WvW has different rules perhaps? Anyone else have experience with this?

Never seen this before lol, that’s what being creative is all about

I don’t consider pet skills to be reliable or on demand enough to be a viable basis for this kind of thing…I wish it were otherwise, but it’s just the reality. I’d be happy to recant however should someone show me a video of this in practice…

let’s say you can put out all the stuns you said you could, what then?, it seems you’re sacrificing a lot of damage in favor of CC, so unless you have a dps teammate with you, you’re pretty much useless in spvp.

don’t forget that all classes have a form of stun break.

this is the video where i first saw it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e3PpFLUsRO8

@ AnthrageThe pet skills are pretty reliable (not 100%) because as they favour using certain skills after swapping.
@ RapidSausage, you’re right, you do sacrifice some dps doing this, as the pets are constantly being swapped and hence running towards the enemy, then getting swapped as soon they get there. However it gives you the chance to lay down you’re own damage which they can’t evade whilst down - doesn’t quite make up for the pet damage for most builds, but it’s something. You also have to factor in the fact they’re not damaging you whilst ccd - so i’ts actually pretty good in spvp imo.
