Hey! Just a question about threat generated by the Ranger and the pet. I have been playing my Ranger lately, getting close to 80 and having fun with it so far! I’m trying to get a grip on how threat is generated when it comes to my Ranger. I usually run in a small group of friends, mostly with a Guardian and a Mesmer, and I often end up getting mobs just stuck to my face. This is especially true when it comes to taking on tougher targets, like if we’re taking on a Champ or such, to the point where I just get sick of constant dodging and decide it’s more efficient to just run in circles, drop some traps, and have them kill it ? At least my pet is doing some damage while I’m in rabbit mode!
My build is heavy BM, so it’s not like I am doing tons of damage…is the pets damage somehow calculated into the mix for threat on the Ranger? I mainly use a cat, and I understand they don’t generate much threat on themselves, or at least that seems to be the case. I usually use a short bow and greatsword, so against mobs that can’t just outright squish me if I miss a dodge (champs) if there is too much threat I just switch to GS and go for it. But in fights where I really DON’T want something in my face the entire time, it’s kinda rough.
Any info or thoughts on this?
