im sorry but i find it unfair that only rangers get to have pets its an unfair advantage i mean i love having pets in-game with me(WoW) but i hate the ranger class (sorry rangers no offence) i just like playing the role of mages.

cant anet just give the animal charm spell to every profession?
or at least give every1 pets for guild wars 2.

or just let us put minipets in the hall of monuments so in gw2 it comes back all grown up and combat ready.

Having a pet is an unfair advantage? Erm.. no, because if you want an effective pet you need to invest enough attribute points to do so, reducing your damage elsewhere. It's called balance.

My ele sometimes goes out with her moa, and by pulling one point out of E-storage she can just about sustain a pet, but it does bugger all damage. It's just a fun build for mapping with. She still has to go E/R though, which is as it should be.

If you got your wish, it would be pointless. You can't give every non-ranger (primary and secondary) charm animal without making the pet deal no damage, not be a target, and not clip. Oh, and although I'd be all for bringing my rainbow phoenix everywhere with me (as Mo/X) just for appearances, I can think of much better skills for slot 8.

You can change your secondary profession to ranger at any time later in the game.

They are meant to be different and do different things.

Different classes do different things. Elementalists set fire to things, necromancers raise the dead, dervishes do the most AoE melee damage. If every class was all much of a muchness, GW would be boring as hell and the differences between classes would only be cosmetic.

Make a new Ranger character, or unlock /R as your secondary. You can do that a bit later in any campaign. I guarantee going E/R is going to cripple your attack power, though. Pets demand a pretty big investment of att points, skill slots to keep them up and running, and if they die your skills are temporarily disabled.

/notsigned, as far as I'm concerned the rangers can keep Charm Animal.

Your secondary profession can be changed, and Beast Mastery is not a prime attribute.

Major Fail.

Is it unfair that only Hunters and Warlocks get some sort of pet in WoW? At least in GW there IS a way for mages to get a pet. Switch to /R later in the game and bring a pet if you want to.

Off-topic: while looking on WoW's website to double check that above fact, I found out Blizzard is merging with Activision.

Plus if pets were so unfair, everybody in HA and GvG would have beastmaster builds. Pets aren't really effective for combat (albeit a couple builds). They're more of a cosmetic thing.

Why do only warriors have swordsmanship. I want my sin to have it too. And what about my battle mage elementalist. Wow, sad threads being started here.

My first character was an E/R, I got to have a pet and didn't have to use any other Ranger skills than Charm Animal and Comfort Animal. If you don't like Rangers, that's fine. However, there's nothing that says that if you want to play as a 'mage' but have a pet, you have to trade in your fire staff for a bow and start hugging trees.

I have a 70 Warlock in WoW. I hate having pets. My Imp is merely a Dark Pact bank, I rarely use others.

If you really want a Pet as a Mage, spec 41 Frost.

Pets for every class makes least sense of anything you have posted.

This sounds like a big ol' rant to me. "Only" Rangers can have pets in the same way "Only" Ritualists can have Binding Rituals. Anyone else can use them, but more often than not you'll be pretty useless with them.

If everyone had pets I'd be willing to bet they'd have no more use than a minipet. A Ranger's pet is it's weapon...when a Ranger plays beastmaster, it is using the pet to fight, while the use of his/her bow is vastly decreased.
