Guild Wars 2

Also if you give your pet increased movement speed (either with trait or utility) the pet will not always move at the increased movement speed. Especially true when you command your pet to attack a target.

I totally agree that pet attacks should not root them in place. Other wise in sPvP or WvW rangers are basically missing out on a medium to large (depending on build) chunk of damage that has nothing to do with our skill as a player. Honestly if this was fixed I’d be happy playing ranger in sPvP again.

So looking at the poor ranger class that continues to get nerfed to the ground for no reason I wanted to see if I could do anything with it in sPvP. In doing so I noticed that unless you are playing against new or not so bright people it is super easy for them to kite your pet. I could be wrong but I think all the pet attacks root them in place ,like short sword for rangers So what if we could change this? It seems like it would make running a pet build viable in sPvP as there are some strong traits across all trait lines for buffing your pet.
