Curse

I apologize if this feature already exist and I have not found it out yet *bow*

I would find it quite helpful to be able to see what buff/debuff my ranger pet has, at all time, even if I don't have my pet selected. As a minimum for the buff part.
If I cast an enchant on my pet, I'll see the nice green triangle in bar, but if I stack multiple enchant, I don't know when a specific one is over... And the pet won't tell me

There is no indication for Shout duration (call of Haste, call of Protection... I end up casting them as soon as they recharge to be on the safe side, and find myself lucky that recharge time is nearly equal to duration).

Thanks for this great game,

Louis,

Probably not a bad idea but Anet gives rangers larger problems than this with rangers... you wont use your pet past lvl 20 anyway... so i would just stop trying with beast mastery and stick with expertise.

I doubt luck has anything to do with it.

Both Call of Haste and Protection both recharge exactly 5 seconds before they expire. This seems to me to be Anet's solution to not being able to see them. Also, as far as I know, there is no way of them being removed, so if you can't cast, you know they're active. If you can cast, then you should.

I fully agree that it's unlikely Anet made those time up at random

and I end up casting those as soon as I can in any situation...

On the other hand, there is still a (minor) issue with stacking enchants...

Louis,

well that's your choice, some of us would like to continue using our pets through the whole game. There are some serious pet issuse. If you've used a pet long enough you will learn how to time it.

It would also be nice to see the damage your pet does, maybe in a different colour to your damage, because it's sometimes hard to gauge just how effective your pet is.
