I'd be happy if Charm Animal just worked as a rez too.

Even if it was the worst rez ever: 10 second casting time and 5% health

You dont even need to merge the two. Take charm animal to aquire the pet, then just change comfort animal to have the same effect as charm in the means of being able to bring your pet with

As stated in previous threads:

Make the Charm Animal into a Tame Signet.
Changes to Tamed <Pet Type or Name> Signet.
Multiple Signets can be kept in your skill inventory.
Choose which Signet when you enter an explorable area. (Only one signet can be equipped at a time).
Most players wouldn't mind using a slot to bring their pet into battle this way as they would be able to have multiple pets. Depending on which signet you equip.

Charm (or Tame) and Comfort are kept as two separate skills but the Tame Signet adds more versatility in that the Rangers can keep multiple pets.

I like this solution too.

Seems as though ANet set it as 2 skills for a reason. However, if they did have it as 1 skill, it would HAVE to be Elite and have to have strict requirements. Perhaps a certain level of Beast Mastery in order to do the different things (i.e., a certain level of BM to have this skill in your skillbar, therefore meaning you have a pet, a certain level of BM to be able to heal your pet, and a certain level of BM to be able to rezz your pet).

"If you bring a Pet Skill in battle, you will automatically have your pet with you." That would make it simple.

Charm Animal's only use is to capture a pet and to bring your pet into the field. Having the skills separate is like needing to have a skill in your skillbar just to hold your axe/bow/sword/hammer/wand/staff.
Ive only just started using a ranger, so im no expert.

But your suggesting merging the two?

So when you dont have an animal, and you select the now merged skill, it will capture you an animal.

If you do have an animal it will only heal it.

So how (and I could be wrong in my understanding of loosing and charming a new pet), would you go about getting a new pet if you wanted to loose the one you have.

If your unable to charm a new one because the skill is set to heal, your stuck?

/signed! I have totally given up on pet build all together because of how many slots it hogs. I love certain pet builds but I hate that waste of a slot.

Oh good point. What about once you have charmed an animal you can unequip that one and comfort animal acts as a dual skill where it automatically equips the pet?

This isn't an issue honestly... you can't go out with your current pet and capture a new one anyway... you have to turn him into a Tamer or whatever (like the one outside Ascalon) and after that he is no longer with you, so charm/comfort merged would work like it should.

Just change Charm Animal into Tame Signet.

You can have multiple Tame Signet that change to Tame Melandru Stalker Signet, or Tame Black Widow Signet.

You can choose which Signet to equip, that brings that pet with you.

Thus Comfort Animal does not change, and the other slot is actually used becasue you are bringing a specific pet associated with the Signet.

Yep.

Or if that won't fly: Allow other rez skills (signet, rebirth, etc.) to target a pet. Other players can already throw a heal at a pet, why not open it up a bit and allow pets to be rez'd, too?
