Bears.

Fix bears. Get rid of Brutal Mauling. Bring their DPS up to par with the rest of the GW pets. How hard can this be? Come on, A.net, just fix it already. Brutal Mauling doesn't do a damn thing. Frankly, I don't see the point of the Breaking Charm ability given to the bears in Pre-Sear. It's not like the bears are better than Striders or Wolves or Stalkers. Why make it that much more difficult if someone wants a damn bear?

Also - those stupid little Moss Spiders. You ever gonna make them charmable, or are they going to continue being another part of your hair shirt?

I already made suggestion to make PreSearing Moss spiders tameable and add Moss Spiders to the GW:EN charr area. Here it is:

And that other thing it's true. Bears outside PreSearing to not have charm breaker. Why do they have Brutal Mauling?

It's just and old bug that it's there from tooo long, long time.

There is no reason to keep any of those both n Presearing and Southern Shiverpeaks, since all pets are the same since a long time ago.

...or buff the Brutal Mauling skill a bit to balance with the lower DPS.

3... 2... 1... BRUTAL MAULING SPIKE! ... lol
Yeah, bears suck ^_^

/signed for a bear buff

Brutal Mauling servers as an interrupt taunt for monster AI in PvE. Have Mesmers using Cry of Frustration, the Brutal Mauling will allow your casters to continue casting. If anything, add a small damage boost to the skill, but don't remove it, as it is a nice feature for people who know how to use it.

The thing is Magma, it should be removed just for balance's sake. Pets are supposed to be the same after all (though some do different kinds of damage).

To me, Bears are like saying that only those with a crude axe can use this (theoretical) Foritutude +32 and energy -2 axe wrapping. Sure, it MAY or MAY NOT be overpowered or useful, but it would make an item's skin, which is supposed to be cosmetic, somehow valuable.

yea /signed either remove it or make it deal double the damage as a normal attack cause it takes twice as long......

Just removing would be much easier and fair.

Old suggestion, but your version has a way better thread title.
