Guild Wars 2

Moa’s

Again, the pattern is here for all our other useless pets, Less Damage, for kitten poor utility. If you want me to take a damage hit Anet, Esp after you already nerfed my class multiple times in terms of damage, You’re going to have to offer me a choice making it up with utility. one of the bigger reasons to use Moa’s is they have a Heal + Heal Field, That you can’t control what so ever…Not only does it have a very small radius, I can’t control when they use it…

1. Red Moa – This only useful Moa and its only used in Dungeons..No one is going to run around with this pet anywhere else because the damage loss of picking up Fury which only really helps certain power based builds isn’t worth it. Again we have an ability with a fairly long cast time that requires me to stand near the pet. This is why this pet is only used in Dungeons.

2. Blue Moa – Let me kitten my damage some for a 3-5 second Protection..That just sounds fantastic…

3. White and Pink Moa – Going to include these together, Because they suffer from same stupidity, Not only do i have to get my pet near the target and hope they stay near the target, I’m gimping my damage for for a 2 Second Daze, and a bloody 3 second Chill…Why in the hell would I ever bother lowering my damage for either of those abilities Anet?

There is a reason Rangers have chosen to use the higher dps pets Anet, and its real simple, Because you failed horribly to actually make these Pets some what useful utility wise. Until you sit down and rework this, you’ll continue to have the same issues.

I’m going to go through, and list off every pet, and why Rangers don’t currently use them, This will help you if you bother to read it…This will let you understand our current Motivations.

Going to start with Bears, Because they’ve basically been the calling card of bad rangers for quite some time now

Bears
1. Brown Bear: Why are Brown bears not used, Because their damage is poor, and they offer very little in terms of utility, which you improved this patch, There is zero reason to use a Brown Bear in this game unless you’re just bad…a Drake 99% of the time is the better choice. The Brown Bear in Particular is still not going to be used because You tied a large portion of are damage to our actual pets, So if we choose to pickup Bears we lower our damage to pickup what is usually a single utility skill. In this case, a 2 Condition Removal on a 25 second cooldown, That we have to stand next to. No one is going to make that choice. The only way it becomes valuable is when it start hitting 3 and 4 Conditions removed…As now you have an actual choice between DPS loss, and Condition Removal.

2. Black Bear : This comes back to the same reason you don’t use Most bears, They kitten your damage and usually the only thing you gain out of selecting this pet is the actual F2, in this case, a Weakness… That has a 1.25 second cast time….and a fairly long cooldown, Why the hell am I going to kitten my damage when I can pickup say a Spider/Drake/or any pet really and use Axe Main hand and get Weakness.

3. Polar Bear : This is even worse then Black Bear, its a low duration chill, Again… No one is going to trade up a ton of damage for an incredibly low duration chill.

4. Actodus : This has a bleed, That does less damage then just letting the pet auto attack because of its terrible cast time, and not to mention, absolutely horrible Cast Animation that telegraph’s it..

5. Murellow: Poison Field, Spiders can provide this, along with better everything….Again Zero reason to ever choose this pet.

Until you understand that gimping our damage for incredibly bad F2 abilities that provide crap in terms of utility, no one but very bad rangers and bots will use these pets…

Pigs
I’m not even go through each pig, Because every pig actually provides amazing utility, But you’ve decided to make this Utility INCREDIBLY ANNOYING TO USE… This is why Pigs aren’t used in general, I can forgive their terrible damage, and there god awful Knockdown that is a pain in the kitten to use, but if i’m going to do that…I want the utility of their F2 to be great, and more importantly, I want it to be somewhat User Friendly….and in this case, a Cactus in the rear is more user friendly then the Pigs F2 Abilities Currently.

Devourer
Have you noticed why Rangers use these pets underwater Anet? Its because they attack at .75 Seconds vs their land version of 1.00 seconds…That makes them somewhat decent, Not to mention, they have a great stun underwater…Do you know why they’re not used on land? Because their damage is horrible, and their utility is kitten.

1. Carrion Devourer – This has another one of those Poison Field abilities, Again, Why the hell and i’m going to pick a pet that does less damage, and less utility then a Spider which gets this F2 as a basic ability they just bloody cast…..There is no reason ever to use this pet…Everyone of the Spiders is 100% better choice.

2. Whiptail Devourer – This is basically our bloody Poison Arrow ability in Shortbow, only its got an incredibly long 2.50 Cast time..Why the hell would anyone again…Choose this ability, We have plenty of poison already and a Spider Easily offers this much better…..

3. Lashtail – This only usable Devourer on land, while it does have a fairly nice F2 for damage, Its got a 4 second Channeled cast time.. Meaning everyone will just dodge it….You’re basically giving up more utility for less damage then most pets.

PVE it’s fine, even in structured it’s fine to some extent.

However in World vs World, I can flat out say..Stealth needs to be changed.

Now I know some people are going to be like “Oh look someone died in pvp to a stealther and now is whining”

Actually, its the opposite..I just got done playing my Thief in world vs world…and frankly i’m disgusted how easy it is to play the class out there.

Not only am I able to stomp on pretty much everyone I come across solo…I can frankly attack large groups of people with ease, and either kill a lot of them, or get away whenever I want.

There is no real disadvantage to playing the class at all….

So as a thief, I’m asking Anet to actually nerf stealth in world vs world..Make it somewhat challenging at least..

My personal favorite is when you’re stomping on someone 1v1, and he starts running, and people from his guild show up and zerg ya down

Then he proceeds to /bow

For some reason that just screams WoW player…
