Why do Pet Skills stop existing after they swap out?

[Eurantien.4632]

Example 1: You throw down a smoke field, you swap pets too soon, you try and combo in the visible smoke field.... but it doesn't combo! Why? Because even after 10 years, pet skills don't exist when the pet swaps out!

Example 2: Your chad Iboga just hit someone with 9 stacks of confusion!? but you swapped it out? Now those confusion stacks do 0 dmg! (Happens for any condis applied by pets)

Example 3: Your drakehound immob'd someone? But you swapped them out? Now your foe gets to run around with an immob debuff on their bar because that immob's effects stopped existing when your drakehound did!

So dumb. Change this.

I have never had this happening in all of my many years playing ranger.

If you got any video footage to prove it then it will help report it to Anet instead of just saying it exists.

Actually never noticed that.
I get the condi dealing 0 damage, since the stats probably turn to 0, but smoke field is just strange.

PvP, you have to do it like really fast if I recall correctly. It might have to be frame perfect to get the smoke field visual but not the combo field.

Regardless, the condi thing is annoying.
