I start to wonder if my ranger is bugged really. I have two issues that noone else has and they happen pretty often.
1) When I switch pet (F4) sometimes it happens that my new pet is simply dead upon activation/switch. This should never happen but it does. I wasn’t able to find out why this is but it happened at least 70+ times until now.
This is very annoying since it makes you lose fights when you don’t have your pet for example for Empathic bond
2) Even worse: When I use swoop (GS 3) to get some distance my character turns around and leaps into a target. I know that you leap backwards if you have a target selected and that there are options where you can deactivate this behaviour (automatic aiming) and a 2nd one. I have only one combat option active: Dodge with doubleclick
Still my character will often leap to some enemy even if I don’t have any target selected.
Today it happened 8+ times to me which is really annoying. If your character doesn’t do what you want that is no fun.
At a given time it happened 3 times in 5 minutes. Sometimes I had a target after the swoop (I might have forgotten to untarget), other times I did not and these are the cases where there must be a bug with the game or with my account. Since noone else posts anything like this and also in my guild this doesn’t seem to happen it might be related to my character/account.
Could it be that “automatic aiming” is active while I have it deactivated in my options?
I use the german game client.
AreaNet could you please check if there is something wrong with my ranger that this seems only to happen to me but it happens so often that it is really annoying.
