Guild Wars 2

Pet Attack and Leash ranges have definitely been decreased. Prior to the patch I could pretty much select any target on my screen and hit F1 to attack it. If it isn’t within 2000 range now I will get the “too far away” message. It really sucks because I can’t use my pet to harass or distract anymore (or sneakily destroy siege, which I loved doing).

I understand the change for sPvP because you could pretty much cover the whole map, but it really really hurts Rangers in WvW where it’s massive open field combat.

I can confirm that the pets tooltips are still based off the rangers stats, not their own. I really wish Anet would fix this so I can get the real information on the actual pets abilities.

I have stacked a decent amount of +healing gear (1,108) and +10% boon duration, my fern hounds regen ability tooltip states:

Regen (11 seconds): 2,954 Heal. Wouldn’t that be amazing?

I wish this was true. What it actually is when tested in game:

Regen (10 seconds): 1300 Heal.

It isn’t affected by Compassion Training trait either. Still heals for 130 a tick when the pet is in combat. I wish there was some kind of stat scaling between the ranger and its pet.

Edit: Tested compassion training in WvW (not the mists) and the regen ticks went to 174 when the hound was actively attacking. This trait seems very unreliable as it goes back to 130 ticks sometimes. The trait really shouldn’t have the ‘pet must be in combat’ for it to take effect.
