Ok all tested out with the new pets and Cheetah and Sand Lion are bugged and unaffected by quickness, while the other 3, Fanged Iboga, Jacaranda and Rock Gazelle are fine.Still really need this fixed!

Still dealing with this after Path Of Fire, with the addition of new pets also being bugged. Wake up Anet!

Still dealing with this major problem :/ come on Anet wake up!

Just tested the Jacaranda pet, he for one is affected with quickness.2 left to test.Please fix this Anet

Seriously! I've been throwing this out there for years, both through forums and bug reports, and still not a word from them in response :anguished: On a sidenote tested out Jacaranda, and its the one on the only new pets that's affected.

If anyone knows if the other three pets are bugged that are in Path Of Fire, keep it updated here :)

I think you posted in the wrong thread :S

Currently 39 out of our 50 Ranger pets are bugged.Quickness will only increase the attack speed of regular attacks from devourer, spider, smokescale, bristleback or wyvern pets. On any other pet, quickness does not increase regular attack speed.Several pets being introduced in Path Of Fire are also unaffected by quickness such as the Sand Lion and Cheetah. This severally reduces the abilities of the grand majority of our pets, a rangers primary mechanic, and furthermore it reduces the effectiveness of a lot of our skills and traits that specially grant quickness to our pets, that being:Quickening ZephyrZephyr’s Speed“We Heal As One”Fortifying Bond+Strider’s Defense+Instinctive Reaction+Instinctive Engage+Live Fast Sadly alot of players are unaware of this, its hard to notice unless your really paying attention, but its actually a big loss to a rangers damage output when your playing with a pet that isn’t affected by quickness. Against mobile targets most pets cant even hit the enemy unless its affected by quickness do to their slow reaction speed. This bug needs to be addressed now and it been here for far too long.

While this is a bug, its hardly known at all to many players, and this thread is simply to spread awareness concerning a big problem with our profession. As rangers we have several abilities and traits that give our pets quickness. Quickening ZephyrZephyr’s Speed“We Heal As One”Fortifying Bond+Strider’s Defense+Instinctive Reaction+Instinctive Engage+Live Fast But for those who don’t know, currently quickness will only increase the attack speed of regular attacks from devourer, spider, smokescale, bristleback or wyvern pets. On any other pet, quickness does not increase regular attack speed. That’s 41 out of 52 of our pets that gain nothing from quickness!I’ve only tested two of the new pets, the Sand Lion and Cheetah, and they aren’t affected either. This further reduces the chances of people picking up pets that are already considered under powered compare to top tier pets.In PvP our targets are obviously alot more mobile than PvE so getting hits in fast is VERY important. But the majority of our pets attack too slow and therefore don’t manage to hit anything for the most part, and quickness would help this quite abit. Zephyr’s Speed is a great idea of a trait! Switch out your pet and give it quickness, allowing it to use those essential abilities like dazes and knockdowns right when you need them…except it fails to work when your pet doesn’t benefit from a powerful boon that your specialized in pumping out. Its a MAJOR PROBLEM to anyone specializing in Beast Mastery, because it really hinders what we can pull off with our pet and with our Ranger as a whole. Putting traits into this line lowers our Rangers damage/survivability compare to other trait lines. And when you do throw your traits in here, you need that increased reaction time and damage, when your giving up so much. Those Taunts/Blinds with F2 are sometimes essential to get off. And when you have a Grandmaster trait that gives your pet such a powerful boon and it doesn’t even affect it, its extremely frustrating for one, underwhelming, and unhelpful. I have been pushing this for ages, now please fix this Anet. Give our pets some love for once.
