Argon.2405 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 If you switch your pet via the build menu while defeated the pet will be spawned into the world. It can then be controlled via the F1-F3 keys and will use special abilities. Pets can be insta-swapped allowing people to exploit down bosses and spam out multiple pet F2 abilities. Cooldowns do still apply but it allows you to swap to any and all pets instantaneously. Tested/encountered in PvE Open World. Suicided off the Keep in WvW and was able to replicate the above.

Argon.2405 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 I was able to retest this today. Recorded this video: Definitely isn't working as intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon.2405 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Tested after Patch on Build 102321 today: Still working incorrectly in that you can use pets and pet skills while defeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argon.2405 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 I'm bumping this because I have just come back to the game and retested this and it still works. I have also sent an ingame report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Does it work in competitive environments? That would mean that for the duration of your respawn counter you could have your pet fighting on a node, at the very least harrassing/delaying the opponent.

You can spam through unlimited HP and attacks with it though. As you say CCing while you are dead on a point seems like an exploit to me.There is also no pet cooldown timer at all when dead.
