Pet deaths recharge skills must go!
Tender Wolf
This has been in effect since the beginning, and everyone knows it. But it's downright annoying when you're in combat, your pet dies, and your skills all recharge, especially when you're using a res sig or something. I think that if your pet dies, it dies. It shouldn't recharge your skills. I don't even know why they added it in there anyway. I see no point to keep it or why it's been kept for so long.

Solution 1: Don't bring a pet.
Solution 2: Don't get your pet killed.

Imo it should only do it to pet rez skills.

I think they should also take away your health bar, the story, and those nasty enemies.

Having a pet has its pros and its cons. In PvP, I typically try to drop dead the pet of that really annoying spearchucker, because more often than not they don't rez their pet. It cripples the player for a while. Yes, it sucks, but it's a tactical choice to bring or not bring the pet.

BTW - higher levels of beast mastery reduce that time.

Pets are an advantage in certain situations. It's a free ally. There has to be a penalty for that.

Thank me later.
I use enemy pets for strategy also. Like thumpers, I first target the pet than kill the helpless victim.

My pet has never died before I did. Not even when I'm the only one paying attention to it because we have human monks (NPC monks generally pay some attention to it). And I do run BM builds.

I honestly dont get the relation between a pet dieing and your skills being disabled from it in the first place though... your being punished for being a bad owner?

Though when I see a bunny thumper in AB, that is when I go for their pet for the same reason as you do. Those pets go down quickly, so quickly that I suspect that their health isn't being watched by anyone.

I am not going to trash you either. Its simple, you are bound to this pet, its not just like the pet chihuahua that you punt in the morning. This animal goes most everywhere with you. It fights beside you, and if you were a ranger and GW employed the system it would help you hunt for food. This isnt just a animal you found along the way, its your friend. the reset is from the break you feel when it dies.
"Whyyyyyyy Piggy Whyyyyyyy?!?!?! I loveded you piggy!!!!" *GIR*

Pets are not meant to be killed, are meant to be kept alive. They are not minions.

Where did my post go?
Anyway, for those of you that keep saying I make pointless threads, if they bother you so much, don't read them. It's as simple as that.
I merely make suggestions to get different opinions. Sorry if you don't agree but you don't have to be flamers about it. And I know I'm not the only one out there who makes "pointless" threads.
Back on topic: Okay so maybe the reason pet deaths cause recharging skills is because of the grief of their death, but you have to admit it's annoying when you're using some kind of preparation or something that takes time to cash and your pet dies so right at the last second it says the skill is still recharging.

They should also revert the corpse thing with the pet, it's stupid.

You need to be penelised some how lol the way it is now requires a certain level of skill (if its even skill lol awareness seems to fit in better) to keep your pet alive.

OnTopic - Putting more points in Beast Mastery will lower the amount of time your skills are disabled as well, I'd look at this as a way of encouraging you to play your pet as more than an accessory.

There are only 3 builds you need to use pets.
1) Beastmaster, in which case you should be keeping your pet alive anyways.
2) Thumpers, which are lame. Don't run it.
3) IWAY warrior, which are lamer than thumpers. Don't run it.
If you're trying to be cute running a healing monk with a pet or a fire nuker with a pet, I feel no sympathy.

The real issue is balancing. Pets need to be given a downside, they can be pretty powerful with the right build.

I know it's mostly for balance; rangers are extremely dangerous, especially with a pet, if used right. But I prefer story and lore over game mechanics. :P

As others have said, it has been a core Ranger Mechanic from the beginning, and there is no reason to change it now.
Also, unless you're specifically running a Bestmaster build or B/P, it's best to leave the pet at home- safe and sound and unable to gimp you at the wrong moment.
