Bunker down changes are neat except for needing to disable to proc it. I would like the buffs to it but keep it to critical strike procs instead of CC.

One thing I saw someone talk about is instead of punishing for not being next to the pet why not gain a nice buff for making sure its close. That way your not needlessly punishing players but instead incentivizing and rewarding for keeping track of the pet.

I believe it was stated before that Anet would like to "reward" players for having good positioning with your pet. As it stands if you have even half a toe outside the very short range you instantly incur the penalty. Before you had about 8 seconds to get back into range which was ok for the most part. This is just a cruel change punishing mech players for things almost entirely out of their control. Not to mention using the ranged arms is entirely out of the question now for power mech. A nice change could include a buff for keeping your pet within range to give it a sense of high risk high reward rather than completely punish for not being able to keep a pet leashed that has the brain of a goldfish. Overall this change makes it feel like Anet really does not want people to play mech.
