Belenus.9132 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I play as a Ranger/Druid class most of the time and my style of combat (guerilla warfare) requires me to hit the enemy hard and then relocate to a more strategic position and this sometimes requires the use of mounts to give me an edge. Now, it is incredibly frustrating to find that although I have disengaged for relocation my pet has not and will not answer to my calls to return to me [F3], nor will it disengage when I press the STOW PET button. With the pet active and ignoring commands to return and it still engaged despite my not wishing it to be, it is IMPOSSIBLE to deploy any of the mounts which puts me in a decidedly bad position. Many are the times that I have had to disengage completely and to leave the engagement area completely because the pet would neither return to me, disengage or stow on demand, so my question is, ArenaNET, can you fix the pet for the Ranger/Druid so that the actual 'return to me' button is a A1 Priority demand that the pet breaks off any and all active engagements and returns immediately. And that when the Stow Pet button is pressed the pet instantly stows because at the moment neither of the options mentioned above actually works and in fact compromises my combat efficiency and ability to act tactically in a highly critical, often time-sensitive situation where the ability of the Ranger/Druid is seriously degraded by the pet seemingly acting as if the Ranger/Druid has no control over it whatsoever!

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You can't stow a pet while in combat. Recalling your pet won't remove it from being in combat. Have you tried swapping the pets? That should temporarily remove both you and your (new) pet out of combat, if you are out of aggro range. Good luck.

Belenus.9132 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yep, but the point is, why should I have too? What's the point of having a button to shut-down the pet and another to recalling it if they are not fit for purpose? You have to ask that question.

Hyper Cutter.9376 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Switch the pet from active to passive and it will immediately return to you. You can even keybind it (it doesn't have one by default). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belenus.9132 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thank you, and much appreciated. I've found this to be useful. I just wish the points I originally made were worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
