Bear pets are invincible and cannot be targeted by NPCs, but are also leashed to 200 range from the ranger

No NPC targeting so that they cannot tank PvE while invincible, but players can still use targeted CC. The big point is reliability. Anyone else like?

is your bear targeted so often that you really need a skill like this ? i mean i would be glad if someone took the time 2 target my bear instead of me but dunno… it really looks like you have not thought this very much.

In fights where bosses AOE (most of them), your pet is a spider / devourer, dead, or running back and forth constantly and doing little damage. Especially if you are melee, you can’t even use return to move the pet out of AOE. Bear is already tanky, so it fits with them thematically and balance wise. An invincible cat would be stupid.

I used bear when fighting lupicus and he was up for most of the time, try using the beastmaster traits natural healing and pets heal for more and use the signet that gives life regen and ur pet will be up most of the time. The short swap time from the trait will also ensure u can swap the pet before dying so you don’t get the long swap cd.
