I like my wyverns for AoE damage + CC, and then I run a jaguar for my damage pet, sometimes I’ll run a Moa or fern hound or brown bear if I need more support
Do you use Fire or Electric Wyvern?
Best for doing what?
Questing and stuff
Does anyone know what the best PvE pet is? I’d also like to know what the best PvP/WvW one is?
Hey shadowpass, you seem to really know your stuff! I was wondering what pet you would recommend for PvE? I’d also like to know which pet is best for WvW/PvP? It would be great if you could help
I’m not really familiar with PvE, but I’ve heard Electric Wyvern is great for demolishing break bars in raids (whatever those might be) and that felines have the best dps for stationary targets.
For PvP and WvW, Smokescale, Bristleback, Tiger, and Electric/Fire Wyverns all have their uses. I’d recommend using Smokescale + one of the other pets I mentioned above.
Thanks, it really helps to know now!

PoF is also introducing new pets in the expansion, so I’m pretty sure that they will have rather interesting and unique skills.
Hi everyone, I wanted to ask about the new HoT pet, the Wyvern. The two fire and electric ones seem pretty cool but I would like to know which of them are the best/most effective in PvE, I’ve seen each of their skills and I’m a bit confused as to if the fire pulse damage or straight up electric damage is better, if anyone could help that’d be great.
If your goal is damage/pet survivability than you’ll want the fire wyvern, it also works quite nicely if you have blasts for might, and if you take beastly warden since it taunts enemies to stand in the fire field and attack it while it’s evading.
However, the electric wyvern is generally more useful in PvE because wyverns as a whole are tanky so you don’t need to worry about them dying so the fire evade isn’t super useful, additionally the Electric Charge is a very strong CC and just ruins breakbars, making it very useful in group PvE content.
Additionally Wyvern damage as a whole is on the lower end, so you’ll likely take a squishier higher damage pet instead (Cats are highest sustained vs immobile enemies).
TLDR: Electric Wyvern is more useful in the meta because it does a lot of CC with its F2, and Wyvern have a low damage output so their CC is what matters. However, if you don’t care about that the Fire Wyvern imo is way cooler, provides a fire field, and does more damage overall than the electric one, and still has decent CC due to the Wing Buffet.
So Fire Wyvern for Dmg and Electric Wyvern for Tank…
They can both tank, electric Wyvern for shut down/interrupt, since it leaves a lightning field you can also daze if you leap at an enemy through the field it leaves IE sword 2, GS 3
Ahhhhh so Fire for dmg and Electric for interrupt?
You got it!
Just remember fire Wyvern damage isn’t the HIGHEST pet damage, but it’s not too bad and it is AoE.
Thanks for the input, it really helped, you sure know your stuff!

One of the ones I thought of was a spider that could crawl on walls or up mountains
In WP post show he did mention that something like that was one additional mount they started (spider anyways), but scrapped it because the other people working there didn’t like it/creeped them out.
Would love for a spider mount myself though…
Lol, that’s amazing XD
A panther that can temporarily turn you and it invisible to pass through enemies

Hey everyone! I’m super hyped about the new mounts in PoF, so I thought it would be cool for everyone to put down their ideas for different mounts and their abilities.
I don’t get how you guys aren’t looking forward to mounts! I personally think they look way more kitten than gliders!
@Djinn: Let’s just hope for a catapult mount! Give us a gold ol’ launch!
There already is a “catapult” mount, the raptor launches you forward, covering a great distance.
Thanks for all the help guys!
I haven’t bought HoT yet, I do intend to though, what are masteries? Sorry if I seem a bit “new” :P
I recommend looking at the wiki for Masteries. Keep in mind that you get your base glider with the Gliding mastery. You can get different skins for your glider from the gem store. Mounts will be similar.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mastery
For information on the new expansion, PoF, I recommend this video. The part about mounts starts around 2:14:30.
Thanks for clearing things up, I appreciate it
Masteries, just like gliding in HoT.
Sorry, bit of a noob here XD, what are masteries?
Hi Everyone! Super hyped about POF, but I was wondering how we will “get” the mounts? Will we have to pay for them with gems/gold or will we have to tame them like a ranger would tame a companion? If anyone could help that would be great, thanks.
Hey everyone, just wondering what the best build strings are for my sylvari ranger, I mainly focus on longbows if that makes a difference, thanks
