I have a pair of lvl 35 BE Gurrecks and both use their ranged attacks.

I don't think we've cleared up all the confusion yet. Yes, you can put ranged attack on a skin and it will use it when it feels like it. My gurrcat does this, usually a ranged attack to open the combat, then closes to melee for the rest of the fight. (Actually, with the current bugs in stand-off distance, it now closes to melee then runs away, but you get the idea.)

This is not the same as having a ranged attack which can be used with the CH "Use Ranged" command. I am of the view that you only get this with a skin that has ranged ability in the wild. Some more tests needed.

Hmm interesting. So we have 2 versions of ranged - one that the pet can use, and one that we can use - maybe. As long as the pet uses it sometimes, that's what I mainly needed to know. But it would be good to find out definitely about the 'use ranged' command working. From what I understand, any special usage is kinda flakey atm anyway, so people who rely on the specials being 'on-command' are a bit hopeful anyway.
