Guild Wars 2

I agree that Ranger pets should be able to see through stealth. You might be able to hide from a regular person, but that animal will still smell/see you.

And as the Ranger apparently has a natural bond with his/her pet; he would also be able to track you. No need to make it an elite skill as it should be an automatic ability.

So my suggestion would be that a Ranger and their pet see stealthed targets within a certain range as a transparent image with the name (similar visual effect to how people can see stealthed allies).

So this is about Rangers having the ability to ‘reveal’ stealthed enemies? I’ve already wasted my words in another useless thread some weeks ago about the same suggestion but people defended against it as a bad decision to give Rangers some sort of tracking ability for stupid reasons.

Mostly because they implicated that it might become too overpowered and misused in the PvP environment. Not to mention thiefs aren’t the only profession that have the ability to stealth. I do believe mesmers have something similar.

Imagine the QQ threads placed upon Rangers when we actually have a tracking skill that reveals stealthed enemies in an instant. They would be calling for nerfs 24/7.

I really just don’t understand why Anet designed a hunter style profession that has no ability to track stealthed enemies AT ALL. What could possibly have been in their minds? I mean, isn’t this class called a Ranger? Seriously.

TL;DR
Stealth is overpowered and needs a counter-offensive like oh I don’t know…. a tracking skill?

So you want a skill that you admit yourself will cause a lot of complaints and balance concerns, based only on the fact that “the class is called ranger,” and that you think stealth is overpowered.

I guess I should be saying, if you want to waste an elite slot on unstealthing someone who’s going to unstealth in a second anyway, have fun?
