Guild Wars 2

With the addition of the Druid quite a few aspiring space stick wielders out there have been asking for a pet that will support the support playstyle. Wisps seem like a good fit since the Druid already seems to be familiar with them. If the devs actually decide to add this pet type (I’d wet myself, but that’s besides the point) it’d be up to them to say if it’s Druid exclusive or not, but I’d like it to be a pet type all Rangers can enjoy. Even if it doesn’t make as much sense for a regular Ranger to have one as it does for a Druid. Wisps would be moderate range pets that are pretty beefy and have an ok amount of base power, but have low base precision and ferocity. They’re there to help with added control and healing and have quite large command skills that all effect multiple targets. They should pretty much just look like a glowing ball of gas. Wisps hang around places of natural beauty and therefore only show up in maps with little to no dragon corruption.
