* Updated Ranger pets to acquire Death Penalty when they die. This currently applies on PvP maps only.
* Updated the wording of Shouts to use the phrase "within earshot". This is not a change to how the skills work. It is only meant as a clarification of how large their range is. The size keywords for area-of-effect skills are now:
o Adjacent: Melee attack range.
o Nearby: One and a half times Adjacent range.
o In the Area: Two times Adjacent range.
o Within Earshot: Three times Adjacent range.

does this mean that in AB your pet gets DP when you dont???

Very, very, very disappointed pets will now get DP. I'm going to shut up now because my guild almost silenced me for ranting so much on guild chat.

I don't think it applies on AvA or competetive mission, but that's only from empirical tests.

What's the point of giving pets dp? Wont that just make IWAY more powerful?
Or is it because beastmastery got buffed in the last update?

OMG why do people ALWAYS yell IWAY buff...

This doesn't effect IWAY at all...

DP only shows once you've died and been rezzed....IWAY doesn't rez their pets.

pets are for show imo the best rangers come from the player not the mini monster they take with them sure theyre fun to have but i never seen an effective beatmaster that is better than a normy ranger

There's technically a thread to discuss this:

DP doesn't affect attack power. Just be sure and don't let him/her die more than once.

well, that's where you're wrong. ive come up with a pretty sweet R/Mo build that i use in AB every day. I am, of course, not going to share it because then, of course, noobs will steal it and use it to death just like touch rangers. trust me, 1v1 this build cant be beaten
