Guild Wars 2

…move to them when you press F1.

I think this would be a really cool feature that would really open a dynamic that rangers should have. Some pets have a good F2 ability, but it only affects people within earshot. So someone has to stand next to me so I pull my pet back to use F2, or I send my pet in to attack and my ally has to be on the front line. If they’re kiting an enemy because they’re a squishy like an elementalist or something, then they’re kitten out-a-luck.

When I thought of this, I was doing that mini-dungeon in The Grove and was using my fern hound. My party had 2 ele’s in it and people were sprinting all over the place. I had to chase people down in order to get them the regen boon from my hound’s ability, and it was very inconvenient and awkward. I think it would just be a nice thing to be able to have a little more control over my pet so I can get him to go where I need him to be when he needs to be there.

What do you guys think?

Very good idea. Would make me much more inclined to use buff pets like Red Moas and Fern Hounds.

Yeah, I feel like if there was one single thing that could be fixed and would cure most of the ranger’s problems.. it’s the pet. And I think that this is a good first step in that process.
