Guild Wars 2

Because ArenaNet received nerf HAO and SOTP? Now why in exchange does not cause our pets at least have a decent balance, as well as damage and speed … other pets need better attacks like wyverns and bears …

good I will take a break of GW2 to you to decide what to do about the pets. All other classes now have a greater advantage when related to rangers.

Our pets should evolve as the mechanics of other classes improve

That’s the sad part…our pets WERE good. Until they got leash range reduction…damage reduction…etc. etc.

At one point the devs legitimately thought pets could break dungeons.

If they buffed Smokescale any then PvP would cry so bad Anet would delete all pets from the game besides the Pig.

the trick with the smokescale and bristleback, the only reason they’re used so much in pvp, is because you can’t kite them – one has ranged attacls and the other is a teleporter. That’s it – the reason they’re used isn’t because they’re efficient, it’s because they’re the only ones that are effective at doing anything at all.

I’ve actually started taking a Carrion Devourer into fractals. Not because devourers are good (they’re thoroughly mediocre) but because with expertise training their F2 actually does decent damage and creates a poison field I can combo off of, since I’m a viper ranger. Nobody has even commented on it, except to compliment the name I gave my pet once. I think that says a lot about the state of pets overall.

Carrion Devourer and Marsh Drake <3 .
