yes some call, i agree, i use similar tactics when in group.. works good if you wait until battle starts and hit them. too early and your damage is healed fast... AOE, then send pet, the rapid fire, then repeat if opportunity there.. some groups scatter in fight and it hard to hit a bunch hard... if druid was to be the wvw version, why have more not pushed for improvements ??? games improve where the most noise is made... as for playing several classes , i do, but i enjoy ranger more. all players should have that option, not just the ones you like.
