Also the only pet type where each different pig have no variation in the f2 skill. They all have forage which is exactly the same as each other.
Clearly you have never used porcine pets. Each porcine pet’s forage skill has a chance for different items to pick up. And some of the items are flat out amazing like plazma, which gives every buff in the game for 10 seconds or so, or Rum, which gives invulnerability for 3 seconds. The effects on these items are pretty much broken in how powerful they are, and if they were easy to use in the middle of a fight they definitely would be. For this reason I believe the F2 skills on the porcine pets were meant to be used as initiation skills, you pre-emptively use forage before going into a fight so that you can take a sizeable chunk of their health out in the very beginning.
In reply to the OP, I think any of the pets that involve a cone skill with a long cast time; i.e. moas, and drakes are the worst pets. This combined with the fact that drakes are bugged and don’t actually use all of their pet skills means I’d probably have to say drakes are the worst, or at least the most situational. Although, that lightning on the River Drake is pretty awesome in PVE :)

This is one thing that I think is truly missing from the ranger class. We’ve had to suspend belief since GW1 over where those arrows are coming from. Isn’t it about time we get quivers?
I feel like if you’re trying to use the porcine pet skills during battle you’re going about these pets the wrong way. Most of the skills make great initiators into combat and some of the effects they provide are ridiculously powerful such as the invulnerability from the pig pet. Considering that a lot of people tend to unload their skills in the very beginning of a fight, that 3 second invulnerability can go a long way.
Plasma on the siamoth, especially, is an amazing skill. Every boon in the game? For 10 seconds? come on, who can say these pets aren’t good?
just realised rangers are the only class without a way to negate dmg effectively
in Ranger

um are you joking? Rangers of all classes have the most ways to avoid/ negate damage in the game. We have far more varied dodges, and dodges with much shorter cooldowns than most of the other classes, as well as the 50% cooldown reduction on our standard dodge. If there is anything to complain about on ranger it isn’t a lack of damage negation.
