Can’t the Developers see how crippling this mechanic is in crucial situations? It turns Rangers into party killers in dungeons like TA. When everyone else speeds past mob groups in tight spaces, Rangers slow to a crawl, keep getting knocked down, and killed. The rest of the group has to rez or escort or wipe trying to get us through.
Our DPS is reduced because we have the “advantage” of having a pet. I’d prefer a trait build where I could be a pure bow ranger and not buy a pet at all because it’s often a disability. It’s a double-whammy penalty in cases like this.
