Favourite Pets? - Guild Wars Forums

AcidDaze · Jan 05, 2009, 01:28 PM // 13:28

I'm talking about ranger pets here, not mini's. So, which pet is your fav.? why? which damage type do you prefer? does your pet seem faster then others you've tried? or is your fav. pet choise purly cosmetic?

Ben-A-BoO · Jan 05, 2009, 02:32 PM // 14:32

First off I go for Dire Pets ... because DP usually doesn't matter (PvE, HB, AB etc) but DPS does.
The rest is cosmetic.

I like big and rare pets so a Dire White Moa was after many other dire pets the final choice for my Ranger.

i have a dire blue reef lurker... never going to change that!
name is krusty krab btw

elypta · Jan 05, 2009, 02:43 PM // 14:43

Well i like the looks of the Wolves, current pet on my ranger but i like my Dire Raven even more

i charmed him without death leveling so i had to go kill those dam wurms outside boreal station....the result is worth it :P

Erizneth Corithius · Jan 05, 2009, 03:15 PM // 15:15

tiger.

nightfall. gotta be the best, the most real looking atleast, yeah simple snow wolfs and black wolves are nice too

Quaker · Jan 05, 2009, 03:16 PM // 15:16

This thread really belongs in Riverside....

But anyway, I have many various pets on Ranger Heroes. My Ranger character has also had many pets, but I usually go back to my favourite - the Melandru's Stalker. My pets are always Hearty (except for the dire wolf I charmed, and the Black Moa(?)) because I use them mainly as blockers, not damage dealers.

I always come back to the Stalker because I like the look of it and the brown colour goes with my armor.

Estan Micaliur · Jan 05, 2009, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I still have the Stalker that I started with. I haven't had the heart to let her go and try something else.. I think I'd be sad. The Stalkers are a nice balance between damage dealing and taking. Plus, they look cool.

McMullen · Jan 05, 2009, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Got myself a Dire White Moa, only reason I got a White Moa is because it's pretty big at a low level and I was tired of having midget dire pets.
Also, it's probably worth noting that ordinary bears have a lower DPS because they use Brutal Mauling.

Xx Da Best Xx · Jan 05, 2009, 05:26 PM // 17:26

I like using the Albino Rat. Almost nobody has one, and its fun to see an oversized rat eating people...

gremlin · Jan 05, 2009, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Black Moa is my current favourite came already leveled Its elder I think.

I got the jingle bear on one character recently and eventually hope to get the spider and a white Moa.

Would like more damage variation between pets both in type and speed of attack etc.

Pet hate if I can put it that way is the Phoenix Eagle etc, I do have a phoenix and the animation is rubbish.
Have a pet that flies fine let it fly having one that walks then flies just to catch you up is rubbish.

You knew very well you were not going to allow a free flying pet so why choose flying species.

DeFFik · Jan 05, 2009, 06:10 PM // 18:10

Black wolf is my favourite.. White Tiger from Echovald Forest is also nice. My all ranger heroes have Lions.

I have Mountain Eagle, but i think i'll change it

... Black Bear anyone

Ares I God Of War I · Jan 05, 2009, 07:13 PM // 19:13

Got a hyena took some time to charm one. But I got one and when it laughes, it is really nice

Vehemence · Jan 05, 2009, 07:52 PM // 19:52

Hearty Black Wolf

Hearty because I like to use my pet as condition dealer and blocker, not direct damage dealer. The extra HP will always be handy.

Black Wolf because I like wolf and black colour

Hollygen · Jan 05, 2009, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I'd say ther Black Widow, but then that's mainly as I have a thing for spiders. Since i rarely play BM it's pretty much a moot point

LordScro · Jan 05, 2009, 09:59 PM // 21:59

My ranger has had a Flamingo since I first made him

DarkFlame · Jan 05, 2009, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Hippo. Sucks that they got removed.

But hippo aside, my pets of choice would be the Black Moa or Black Widow. I just don't like having to lvl them.

choclatedippednillawafer · Jan 05, 2009, 11:15 PM // 23:15

melandru's stalker.
i <3 my kittywinkles so sentimental <3333

_Nihilist_ · Jan 06, 2009, 12:14 AM // 00:14

My current Ranger doesn't have a Pet. I rushed him through Pre to use him as a storage mule. Not sure what I am going to get with him yet, probably go for a Phoenix, Black Moa, and then Widow for my HoM.

My Perma-Pre, which is about to get remade, was a Warrior with no secondary who did the trial Ranger quest to get an animal companion. At level 11 he had a level 15 Dire Wolf, Cerberus. He's going to be re-rolled because I went W/Mo to do the Bandit Dye farm, but that's boring as all get out, and I miss my Dire Wolf.

Commander Ryker · Jan 06, 2009, 12:26 AM // 00:26

I have a Lynx that I got the first time I went through North Kryta with my ranger. I will never trade him in as I am very sentimental about him.

The Red Messenger · Jan 06, 2009, 06:02 AM // 06:02

i had a pet pig for the longest time. Sgt Bacon was his name and he rarely saw action because i usually stuck with the bow.

my 3 ranger heroes got ravens because they dont crowd the screen too bad in numbers

cant say i was ever sentimental about pets because i went through just about every one at one point or another
