Guild Wars 2

The rangers number 3 downed skill on ground and underwater is bugged.

It doesn’t happen everytime, but i’ve lost count of the amount of times it simply doesn’t work. The issue is that the pet walks over to your downed state character and just sits there, not doing any reviving whatsoever.

Extremely frustrating at times. Is this a known issue?

Again this doesn’t happen everytime, but it’s quite common for me!

Happens to me aswell… I guess gw 2 AI is just horrible. Getting random agro, pets not using their f2 abilities, not reviving me, just standing and watching me die… GW 2 is just too raw to be playable. Still have my hope for the best, not sure its gonna happen, but whatever..

Happening to me as well and it’s been doing it on and off since launch. I’ve reported this bug before and I know others have as well, so they can’t be unaware of it – but either it’s not an important enough issue or they’re just unable to find the problem and fix it permanently.

There seem to be so many things in this game that they keep trying to fix and failing, like the sound bug with pet footsteps suddenly being 10 times too loud, which they keep saying has been fixed when it hasn’t… :/

I too can confirm this skill doesn’t always work, but it still gets on cooldown when used. I haven’t reported it yet though because I figured it might not be usable if your pet still gets hit in combat.

Sometimes it does work though so I’m still not sure whether or not the skill does what it’s meant to do.

I thought it might of had an issue but haven’t used it enough to tell for sure, now I know I wasnt imagining it … #f3, pet walks over and looks at you as if to say “what what whaaaaaat?”, die ….

So as a ranger, never charm a Skritt XD

hmmm, never noticed this happen to me unless my pet died. in which case my pet will come over and do nothing.

but, so long as my pet is alive, it seems to revive me just fine…

I’d like to point out that this bug is still present and it’s pretty frustrating in WvW where every second counts. Functionality is hit or miss, pet alive or not.

this bug happens ALL the time, its not just a sometimes thing; its about 90% of the time. And I’m talking only about when the pet is alive; i wouldn’t expect a dead one to heal you.

Also, I’ve noticed a few times that it did work that, even when the pet is killed, it continues to heal. This effect I find is consistent.

Interesting note: I play pure dps (for the underpowered challenge of it) but when I’ve played a bunker/beatmastery build this downed ability worked 100% of the time. I have no idea why.

Of course this is a major kittening bug and should have been fixed LONG ago but what I am asking you guys is: have you learned any tricks that get this spell to work consistently or at least a higher percentage of the time (and don’t say “make sure your pet is alive first”; we went over that n00b)?
