Guild Wars 2

Been wondering this i was knee high to a grasshopper.

Nope. Although, according to Puandro, the pet skills will improperly reflect their damage based off your attack. This is apparently a bug.

I think the only stat of your that will affect your pet is your healing power determining how much it is healed for. I’m not sure of this because when I tried to test it in pve, the changes to pet aggro made it so everything would come after me and then my pet would kill it without taking damage.

Yeah i really don’t like this at all.

I wish they would have made an in game feature that allows us to decide if and when we want our pets to tank for us.

But you have that, it’s your pet selection. Choose a cat and you’ll have DPS, choose a dog and you’ll have control, choose a bear and you’ll have a tank, choose a spider and you’ll have range, etc. etc. The real problem is that their stats don’t scale alongside yours, meaning that offensive stats are less effective on a ranger than all the other classes.

And it’s quite a good thing. It allow us to go full bunker and still get some DPS cause a dps pet is still a dps pet.
