Not sure that is viable with balancing being as wonky as it already is. As for "juvenile", you can rename your pet if you want. That was the joy of GW1 pets. They grew in size getting bigger as they got stronger. Not this current Pokémon hot swap nonsense. A fully grown rainbow phoenix in GW1 would rival a skyscale for size. I wouldn't so much if names didn't revert to Juvenile everytime it is swapped out.

Bring back the exclusive end of story phoenix. Also let's push for level able pets. I'm fed up with it saying "juvenile ____". Let me raise a dire pet again. Pets were so much more in gw1.

It works in WvW, I haven't the heart to test it in PvP for obvious reasons. 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.

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.

Can you use a smart phone to take a photo of your monitor showing the ads? That might help people to track down what is causing them.

Tested after Patch on Build 102321 today: Still working incorrectly in that you can use pets and pet skills while defeated.

Okay:So I just tested this: SoulbeastUnmelded + Mounted -> Engage skill into Combat : Pet unsummonable during combat. Melding restores pet beastmode skills to hotbar.Melded + Mounted -> Engage skill into Combat : Working as intended. Beast skills appear.Unmelded + Mounted -> Engage skill | No Combat : Working as intended. Pet Command skills appear.Melded + Mounted -> Engage skill | No Combat : Working as intended. Beast skills appear. Core RangerMounted -> Engage skill into Combat : Working as intended. Pet skills appear.Mounted -> Engage skill | No Combat : Working as intended. Pet skills appear. Testing the switch from Soulbeast to Ranger builds I couldn't replicate what Elistine experienced. Pet window remained accessible and so did an active pet.

I was able to retest this today. Recorded this video: Definitely isn't working as intended.

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.
