Otyugh's Cry. Pathetic.
serenitys flame
There cannot be a more useless skill then "Otyugh's Cry". I'm pretty sure this is how the spell reads: "All non-charmed animals around you become aggresive to the enemy you're fighting (for some amount of time or something like that)." HOW OFTEN DO YOU FIND UNCHARMED ANIMALS!?!? EVEN IF YOU DID, THEY WOULD BE LEVEL 5! Great skill, control a level 5 wolf for 20 seconds to help you kill some level 24 enemies! Thank you Guild wars for this great skill!

lol if it included charmed animals... iway would be decimated...

There have been many rants about how weak it is. It is agreed that it needs a little buff, but the main point of the skill is to provide you and your teammates pets with +20 armor for 30 seconds.
I want to meet Otyugh someday :P

edit: And also here for some reason: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...0006298&page=3
Before the thread is closed for that, I just want to say I'm still pissed off Otyugh's Cry isn't a spell so that I could echo it. Twice.

You know... it could be interesting if it involved a much larger range, and if the native critters were higher levels and mirrored any commands you gave to your own pet for a set period of time.

I think it will not even make the cows attack, on Shing Jea island

Actually its a Very Useful Skill, In a B/P Team (5 Pets tanking) one ranger Carrying it will boost the AL of all the tanks by 20, and it is inexpensive and easy to keep it up 24/7.
the wild animals part is hopeless, but the skill isnt

20 bonus armour to all nearby pets. 20.
That's the difference between warrior armour and caster armour.
It corresponds to a 29.3% reduction in all damage without armour penetration or ignoring.
It gives a lvl 20 pet 100 AL for 30 seconds.
Only useless thing about it is that it only affects nearby pets, not your own pet as well if you aren't standing close to him.
And because this is a long lasting AoE skill, a group of beastmasters only need one person with this to have all their pets get an additional damage reduction.
Not too useful, but certainly not on the same level as Archer's Signet.
EDIT: Damage reduction is 100*(1-1/root 2) %, not 100*root 2 %

PvP useful as well as Pve useful, such as in old Tombs place B/P. Or thumping in HA/GVG.

lol this is the ultimate pvp skill, yeah...

Maybe they should make it more of a summoning skill.

Otyugh is the name of the Contemplation of Purity baby. Why else would he cry?

You know what is pathetic? Players who can not read skill descriptions and come whining about whatever it is they thought to read.
How, serenitys flame, are you ever going to combine skills into a build if you can not read their descriptions?

not sure why rangers dont have a "charm Animal" and a "Charm Monster" skill
2 classic skills... i know this is guildwars thats not really my point...
the skills could be extremely usefull for PvE if anyone cares about PvE anymore...

I believe rangers have a skill called Charm Animal :P

...just wondering: if it's a shout, why don't we see anything in a text bubble? Everytime the skill is used I'm sure a howl/squawk/bleat/moo/bark/whatever can be programmed in (kind of like the tengu grunt) I'm kind of curious as to what an Otyugh sounds like
Vusak
it'd be better if it had an attribute tied effect that 'conjured' atleast XX levels of animals to attack enemies.
so say at level 13 beast mastery it conjured up to 30 levels of animals to attack, with none lower than level 13 - and the animal type being dependent on the area youre in.
ofcourse that would be crazy overpowered with lots of rangers, so i dont know, maybe there could be a fixed limit on how many animals can be conjured at any one time by any PCs.

I think if animals effcted by OC became level 20 or equvalent to it for the duration of the skill, it would actually be somewhat useful. Or maybe if the effects stacked beastmaster PvP group or something could be formed. Or maybe a new barrage team thing with pets.
And btw, hasn't anyone told you that if you haven't got anything good to say then don't say it at all? Flaming people gets us nowhere. Constructive criticism is good though.

You are missing what is probably the most important use of this skill:
(taken from GW-Wiki)
Is a skill that gives +20 AL for 30 seconds worth 5 energy (less with expertise) and a place on a beasmaster's skillbar?
What would you, as Warrior, consider is the worth of +20AL?
Edit: All animals ... includes your pet.

Now if only you could keep the pets around and then the more and more you traveled through the pve area the amount of pets would add up... almost like a MM...

Idea:
Make it like an IWAY for pet.
Shout. For each dead ally in the area, your pet gain 25% attack speed and +3 health regeneration for 10 seconds

Rulke
Idea:
Shout. All animal comapanions gain 20 armor for 30 seconds. All unallied animals in the area become hostile to your target and gain 20 armor for 30 seconds.
Now you don't need to stand next to your pet to use this, and it becomes a very good protective skill.

Iway already controls the metagame of GW, and it has for almost a year. The fact that it hasn't been nerfed out of existance is pathetic, and only proves that arenanet used a dartboard when choosing their skill changes.
Hung Wei Lo
what does an otyugh sound like? there's no text bubble like the other shouts, and i don't think there's a sound made a la talon silverwing...

Why make it an IWAY for pets... the majority of the time its you thats dead because to use a pet you have to drop practically all means of self preservation. At which point the pet just stands over your body like a pillock and does nothing.

In D&D an Otyugh is more a creature then a person.
