Well I guess my pet dies if I’m in WvW and there are hundreds of AoE on the floor. Other than that, I almost had to check if this was a necro thread, I find my pet to survive a truck being thrown at it nowadays post hp buff. It is a good idea to cycle your pets though, it’s basically a free 100% heal on a short cooldown
Can I at least run GW2 on medium settings??

General ranger dps pet or flesh golem?
“When you first tame the pets they can have the size they have now, but as you level the pet grows in size.”
This sounds much like how World of Warcraft does it. I like how a large amount of pets in the game are bigger than the largest races at max level, namely the devilsaur.
I like my bear
And I like my bow
Enough said
Relax, Anet is definately not going to remove the pets, please take a look at her third post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/balance/Collaborative-Development-Ranger-Profession/first#post3682760
“Removing the pet was something that was discussed in initial design of the class, but it is such an integral part of the Ranger’s design and philosophy.
There might be some ways that we can redesign the pet and it’s AI, but those are big projects. For the time being, we are happy to take any suggestions regarding the pet."
And for the most part, 90% of the posts I see are talking about ways to IMPROVE the pet, not REMOVE it
Edit: a later post
“We recognize there are a number of issues with the pet AI and general functionality, so that is something that will come first. Rangers are first and foremost a pet class, but they are also great skirmishers and some of the best sustained long range damage.”

OP, many veteran necros either quitted the game or are playing another class. I am not sure you noticed, but things has been going very badly for us lately. Necro’s current damage output is worst than it was in August 2012.
You know, it could be worse….
You could be a ranger
People don’t want to take up this “challenge” of yours because pet management is not hard at all, so i have no idea why you keep acting as if it is.
It’s bizarre, in a lot of threads that contain different suggestions to fix the pet, here you are, coming in with the same stuff, telling people need to learn about pet management and that the fix for pets is down to the player and not Anet, even though Anet themselves confirmed pets need fixing, but they do no know when or how they can fix the issue.
Thank you! I know it isn’t!!! Then why does op bring yet again the reduced aoe and this time… bravo! But why ask for “only” 90%, oh hell let’s settle for a 100% damage reduction.
Who am i to quote mine Anet, but i believe the admitance was in regard of F2 responsiveness… but hey who cares what i think, since even for that undeniable issue i found a few tricks to lessen the frustration and even making them work reliably.
I wasn’t demanding it to be 90%. I was just saying what worked in WoW. I said SPECIFICALLY that because this isn’t WoW, the AoE reduction does not need to be so high, and I’ll settle for pets dodging with their rangers
they cant change the pet mechanic. theyve said itd break the game.
It would break the game to add AoE reduction and more skills?
If Blizzard can improve pet AI like they did in WoW, why can’t Anet without breaking it?
tl;dr
1. make pets more survivable in dungeons/wvw by giving them AoE damage reduction or dodging with you
2.improve pet AI
3. Basically your #3
If WoW can do it, Gw2 can too. The pet is not just a stupid mechanic like so many believe. It can be a part of the ranger
Anyone who has played Hunters in WoW knows how amazing pets can be. This is why I am here. If Anet wants to rework the pet, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE PET. A Hunter in WoW also has a ton of mechanics attached to the pet, meaning if the hunter pet died, the hunter would be in a lot of trouble.
You would expect Hunters to be weak in this game right? WRONG! Hunters are known for their extensive crowd control, pet utility, and many actually consider them OP! I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but Anet can make the pet much, much more useful if they implemented some things in GW2 pets that were in WoW pets.
World of Warcraft has a large amount of hunter-pet synergy. There are a number of pet-based skills and customization, micromanagement options & multi-role-filling. WoW pets are also very hardy. The pet controls are also very good, and macroable—you can recall your pet at will by hitting Follow (unless you have DoTs on the target, which makes a pet on Assist ignore you >.>), or position it in place for a screenshot. The pet follows tight on your left side at all times in a proper obedience dog Heel position. They do not kitten around wherever they want like they do in GW2.
WoW pets have an ability which reduces AoE damage by 90%!!!! This is why pets are known as absolute tanks in this game when a hunter is soloing. Not only this, but hunters have a cast-and-forget spell that heals their pet 5% HP each and every second, for 10 seconds, and it has no cooldown at all. If GW2 pets had sturdier pets, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting completely destroyed just because their pet dies, just like Hunters would have a major disadvantage especially a beast mastery hunter. GW2 isn’t WoW, so the AoE reduction doesn’t have to be 90%. Hell, all you have to do is make the pet dodge with you -_-
The pet AI in WoW is also so so so so much better I can’t even begin to explain. The fact that pets actually travel AHEAD of where the players are going, makes it so that they get so much more hits in than GW2 pets does, and therefore, increases the pets reliability on damage output. I can’t tell you how many times a frost mage in WoW froze me in an ice cube but my pet manage to kill it even as he was running away CCing the pet, it’s because the pet got a head start. Did I forget to mention they respond INSTANTLY to your commands?
Pets in WoW have so many abilities to have keep up with an enemy. They have a move that increases their movement speed when activated, very useful for getting hits in. They also have an ability called blink strike if you decide to unlock it, it makes your pet instantly teleport to the enemy on a 30 sec cooldown, how amazing is that? Someone just CCd your pet and now it’s far behind? NP, blink strike!
Pets are NOT a flawed mechanic. PLEASE keep them in the ranger class. Just do it right Anet, I beg of you. If you can’t think of ideas, look at hunters and their trusty pets who could own a ranger pet in pretty much anything
