Guild Wars 2

my pets can´t attack enemies when they are moving, i can buff my pet swiftness , sick em! and everything but they don´t hit. Especially when enemy runs in a circle WITHOUT any movementspeed but still the pet will NEVER land a single hit…

downstate nr3: pet stays next to me and does nothing…

Only birds manage to hit people running in circles sometimes.

Yeah, A and D buttons are the ultimate pet counter. It’s great to lose by default third of your dps agains’t player targets.
Guess pets were meant just for open world pve.

The downed state ability is definitely bugged, I have the same issues and its frustrating at critical moments. But in regards to people kiting your pet, that seems wierd. I thought pet’s ability to hit on the move was buffed, and with swiftness buff it definitely should be hitting. Regardless, if they are focusing on kiting your pet, then that gives you an opportunity to get hits on your opponent while they are distracted. Also, try to use some conditions like cripple or chill to slow down your opponent so that your pet can hit them more.

It help if you think of you and your pet as a team. Your pet is melee so use cripple and cc effects. Your target is most likely targeting you and being more aggressive. So help you pet by moving toward it.

I melee alot so it’s a bit easier to keep pet on target since the 1h has alot of cripple. Also if my pet gets off target to much switching pets brings him to your side and in my case right in the enemies face as well. Using k-9s help becuase of thier kd’s.

Rangers should always think about melee even if you dont melee because most likely you pet is melee a melee pet.
