we lack on interrupt CC's
wow ummm we also other pets with good cc abilities. im not gonna bash ur ranger knowledge but try using black and a pink moa on that bunker. they can heal u pretty good and they have a f2 skill which can daze/stun a foe and if ur running a bunker spec them skills are on a 15 sec cd. we also have hyena that can summon an exta dog pet or we can use devours that also has a knock back skill just saying we have plenty of cc. maybe l2build a better bunker or actually try to fully balance ur builds more. here is a link to where i post a few of my builds the first one is actually a good bunker spec u can tweak to suit u better. http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/76271-psymons-ranger-builds/

You make valid points, however, as many players know, pets are not always the most reliable mechanic. Dogs often leap on swap, but the same cannot be said for a devourer’s knockback or a moa’s screech and heal.
the moa will heal u on swap as soon as its out all day everyday and as for the f2 skill, look dont be lazy making ur pet have to run to the person why not kite the person to ya pet ? i have used the moa to daze rupt being stomp sooo much that i was able to hold off till help came or till lick wounds actually worked.

I will concede that I don’t play with moas much and have not gotten their behavior patterns down yet, however, one problem with the daze, disregarding range as an issue, is still the long 1s animation before effect. If you’re in melee though, and swap it in to gain quickness, I can see this being really effective. I’m going to give this a try on my melee builds for interrupts.
when you play melee ranger (axe, torch, 1h sword, dagger) = bunker ranger build you dont have a single CC that can interrupt actions. we got nothing on our utility bar, just each for short bow, long bow and 2h sword what makes the ranger for tpvp very difficult.
we need more CC’s especially on our utility bar!
Pets with interrupt abilitys like the wolf’d be also welcome! only the wolf and the jungle spider got interrupt CC’s on F2.
Pets also have a KD on its auto cast and the AI i’ve noticed is REALLY smart about waiting to use it for when a mob/player begins to cast something. We have -plenty- of interrupts, it’s just not through -us- it’s through our furry animal friends as well.
We have:
Devourers w/ a KB, Canines w/ a KD, Black&Pink Moas w/ a 3s daze, Forest & Black widow w/ a stun, Pigs w/ a KD, Boar is capable of foraging up a 2s KD, 3s Stun, 3s AoE Fear, Ravens have a blind (on par with an interrupt due to the whole preventing the attack).
Under Water our lakittenail devourer gains a stun, our armor fish gains a charging stun, our shark has a charging interrupt, and our jelly fish has an aoe blind.

Actually the moa interrupt is pretty on demand, very very short delay before he throws out the daze, and if you’re utilizing the QZ given from pet swaps it’ll be up fast enough they can’t dodge it.

you cant use f2 skill in Spvp or WvW because have a nice 3-5 (or more…) sec delay…thx Anet…

I run drakehound and wolf. I use my F2’s every time I swap them. I swap them when it’s suitable to do so, for either burst or CC via AOE immobilize + knockdown or AOE fear + knockdown.
You know that they have a 2 second cast time. This can be planned around. Yes it’s crappy design, but until they fix it you can try harder to overcome it.

I’ve got more than enough knock Downs and stuns from my GS and two wolves.
if you put atleast 5 points into beastmaster you’re pet’s f2 is almost insta-cast. if you’re running melee ranger you and you’re pet are going to be nearby the target.
