Generally speaking this is a very useless skill for the ranger. I have played the ranger from the beginning I started this game and the ranger is my favourite character. It also comes to me that the ranger is underbalanced. I have a lv 20 ranger in the Chrystal desert and over there it is a hard game to play. So I'm trying out different skills and builds.
For Otyugh's cry you have to engage an enemy and then you can call in a friendly animal as an ally. West of Beetletun (Kryta) are a lot of lynxes roaming around, but it was not easy to work things out. Your enemy moves, the friendly animal moves, you, as a ranger prefers a fixed position on higher ground. I had to figure this all out and at that moment I was alone to try it out. Normally you fight in a group against another group; how do you get things organized?
The freindly animal is indeed to weak to be of substantial support. So forget this skill.
Another personal thing is this. The animal you call in will in most cases get killed. Its friendly creature, living in the wild, not harming anything. I don't like this skill.
The skill would work best this way and would match the description as there is now. According to the level of your beastmastery you could gather a pack of animals and then set them up against an enemy.

I looked right over that extra fact in the description, +20AL to all pets.

I use "Call of Protection" all the time to help keep my pet alive. Now I will have to add this skill to my bar as well. I will have to investigate this further. Maybe time to try another Beast Master build for PvE.

The skill would be useful if it summoned a random pet out of thin air.

It seems to be a good skill on a Pet team. Use Otyugh's Cry and all pets will aggro your target, raising the dps there. Or am I wrong?

Wrong unfortunatly. Even if they're idle they won't respond to the cry. It Does give them all the armour though and it does stack with call of protection.
