To other players that play ranger,
I’m sure you were just as happy as I was when you saw the new patch today/last night that promised a fix for our pets. I was so elated that after 3 weeks of shelving my poor ranger I pulled her out and dusted her off and started playing her again. I tested the new patch in pvp, wvw and pve content and was elated that the passive option worked again!
But alas my elation did not last longer then an hour. During a world boss fight my battle companion died prompting me to switch to my secondary pet. But when summoned this companion was also dead. I was puzzled, thinking maybe it had been hit and I had not noticed it. I tested this out in pvp. Again when swapping my dead pet out the secondary pet was dead aswell. This only happened while I was in combat though, so I still wondered if it was sustaining damage too quickly. I tried it again in pve and then headed to wvw to do some further tests. Again and again my dead pet was replaced with another dead pet, lowing my dps output and lessening my survivability.
My question to other rangers out there: Have you noticed this happening to your pets? Or is this an isolated case, perhaps (but doubtful) lag has come into play unnoticed and bashes my pet over the head when I’m not looking.
Thank you in advance for your input (please be polite), and may the pale tree watch over you.
