Untamed (and to a lesser degree Mechanist) is a UX nightmare.

[RagingRube.2540]

Ranger players had been using the same 3 hotkeys to command their pets for 9 years. Then Untamed comes out, and moves these commands to different keys for no good reason, and the new pet subclass, Mechanist has them on the same buttons.

This makes no sense, and is horrible from a UX perspective. The keys these are associated with should be normalised across all of these classes, otherwise people will keep not playing untamed. It's less of an issue for mechanist, but for consistency's sake, these keys should be the same.

If only button mapping for Weapon Skills/Specialization Skills had templates or were character based instead of account based.

I do fine with Untamed. I have achieved a much more consistent PvP Rank and WvW sessions because of the increase complexity of the class.

I mean the best Elite for Ranger is and will always be Soulbeast but Untamed can be better if you practice it; I'm fine with this reality.

"stance", "attack" and "return" should become generic commands that are common to ranger, mechanist, necromancer, elementalist, mesmer, and whoever else they decide needs to get a petoid in the future.
