Alright guys ! A tough one !!!
So, go to the guildwars website (www.guildwars.com)
After that go to the Community tab, then the Fankit, then to the Skills icons sets.
Then check the Ranger skills...
Look for the wolf and the yellowish ankh, called the Call of Healing.
Look also for the lion, called the Call of Resilience...
They are there right !??!! I'm not crazy, they are there ! I know cuz I downloaded the skill set and they are in there...

Now, why can't I find any website with these skills ?
I also contacted the Support team and they don't know, they are transfering me to another department... HAHAHA

So, anyone has an answer ?!?!
Good luck !

A word document... now how microsoft is that? -.-
Can't open it due to the need to have word and i'm just refusing to buy that.

HOWEVER, there used to be skills in the game that have been removed later on. Best example would be the unnatural signet. Those might also be icons of skills that once were planned but never made it into the game (as Invisibility).

Call of Vitality
Call of Feeding
Call of Disruption
Call of Elemental Protection
Call of Healing

Not sure what else was dropped.
By the way, those are from some old notes of mine, I can't view microsoft word documents

Edit:
I know Feeding gave healing of X per hit, and Disruption had a chance to interrupt casters. Elemental Protection got your pets more AL against elemental attacks.
Call of Healing and Call of Vitality gave them more max health and regeneration, I THINK.
Some of those gave a damage increase to base attack, and the protection/healing based ones gave a base damage reduction.

There were MANY calls, and they were very redundant like that.

also call of brutality it was one of the "must have" 20% armor penetration and +1-13 attack for 30 sec or something like that.

Of all the call... only call of protection and call of haste remain... and call of haste wasn't like its former self either (it was 33% faster on moving AND attacking)

For those who have not succumed to the Microsoft empire (and thus don't have Microsoft Word), you can still open Word files with a free utility called Word Viewer. It's available here: Word Viewer

A bunch of ranger skills from the beastmastery line were dropped and replaced prior to release. Perhaps your program is outdated.

Bit late, but here're some specifics on some old calls;

Call of Disruption
Description: For 30 seconds, attacks by your animal companions have a 5%-41% base armor penetration and have a 8%-18% chance of interrupting spells when they hit.

Call of Haste
Description: For 30 seconds, your animal companions have 25% faster attack speed and move 33% faster than normal (Instead of the current 25% movement bonus).

Call of Elemental Protection
Description: For 60 seconds, your animal companions have a 1-11 base damage reduction and gain 20-30 armor against all elemental damage.

Call of Vitality
Description: For 60 seconds, your animal companions have a 1-11 base damage reduction and +50-234 health.

Call of Disruption looks painful o_O
