No this is not a combine charm animal + comfort animal thread

This thread is about charm animal and how to expand its use

1) Charm animal when you have your pet should allow you to summon your pet back to you. It does not really matter if you
1] pay the regular cost of usingthe skill with equivalent cooldown
2] make the cost 5 energy 30 sec cooldown and have it work like a shout

2) Make charm animal a 5 energy change pet behavior button the states are
1] Normal AI
2] aggressive (attacks when someone intrudes on aggro circle)
3] protective (attack whoever ranger is attacking. But changing target should take 2 secs before it changes target)
4] pressing ctrl + charm animal will let pet continually attack target even if ranger is not attacking the same target or until ranger clicks the charm animal to reset it to regular AI.

* you can have different icons pop somewhere on your screen so u know what mode your pet is on.

I believe anyone of these two skill upgrades would definitely stop the charm+ comfort 1 skill cry of the rangers. And gives us rangers more control over our pets. and with enough points in expertise i doubt energy will be an issue.

Cheers

of curse i /sign this since im a pet lover

but i think , there is a rason why pet takes 2 skill slots, because its anouther mini tank in your team, so by doin all what you have proposed would bring in a huge overpower for that skill. GW is all about balance of skills, so a +mini tank/damage dealer to your party is "worth" 2 skill slots.

now about the pet "mode" i totaly agree with every word, because its very anoying that sometimes i attak 1 target, call it, and my pet is stuk on target 2. the only thing i would add is a "guardian" mode, when a pet instantly and automaticly attaks the mob that is attaking YOU, even if you are attaking anouther mob or plain and simple afk
