Guild Wars 2

how to understand?
and look older update

also noticed this and very interested in reasons…

I don’t get this topic. Are you asking to nerf the pet damage because it’s more now after the update?

2 obove now
2 below before patch. not that hard

ItIsFinished was more referring to the fact that you basically can’t understand what Krantoss was trying to say without some explanation. You already knew what he was talking about because you noticed the same thing Krantoss did, but for the rest of us, it’s entirely unclear.

Anyways, it should come as no surprise by this point. Ranger pets have been the target of nerfs for quite a while now, but also a few buffs.

That said, I encourage you to test out your pet DPS in the mists. My pets consistently strike for the same damage as they did before, even though their tooltip numbers have changed.

Yes they cut in half the dmg of the pets. Before with my bird I did 2k on crit, now only 1k…

All that time pass on my ranger and all that gear I farm for him… sorry Im near to write insult so I stop there…

Didn’t the pet tooltips show damage with the rangers stats added to the equation before? if that was fixed it would explain it, I have not personally noticed any damage loss on my pet but i haven’t actually tested and looked more closely at it either.

Just curious… but has anyone actually tested this? Or is it just a tooltip issue?

OK.. gotta say thats pretty bizarre. I’m starting to think you guys might be right about anet hating rangers .. LOL

It’s a tooltip issue, they were inaccurate before and now they are slightly more accurate. Although I haven’t tested extensively so I can’t say for sure.

It’s the same with necromancer minions, the damage shows at around half of the pre-patch value. I’m not sure if its a tooltip error or they nerfed damage since they upped hp or what =/

Pets do the same damage for me, just the tool-tip is wrong cause its reading from the players stats not the pets.

Pet tooltips used to be based entirely off of player stats. This included things like condition duration and boon duration.

Our pet dmg has not been nerfed, and overall pets are in a better place.
