Thread: ranged attack on BE pets
well it works for wild tamed ones but BE pets don't even offer the option to train them neither as babies nor as full grown ones.
just wondering if it's a bug or has it been nerfed for some whiner's complaint.
and to the DEVs ( in case they ever read this column
)plz stop nerfing CH for right now it's more of a in-game hobby than a profession.
Can confirm this.
Got a cl 38 Gurrek with RA, but i'm not able to teach him.
That's a mess when i pay for a pet with special features and cannot use em as i wish.
I'm a Master BE currently visiting the Geno cave to get my CH up and I have no trouble with my pets using ranged attack, they just use it. After a while it seems their mouth goes dry and they run in, but if I call them back and then issues the attack command they go back to ranged.
Are you sure you need it. Also are the BE pets pre "big" patch (5 I think) as they may have needed training and post patch ones don't. /me clutches at straws.

do i need it ? hell no - i even don't need to play but i want to
before release 5 in december there were pets/creatures that had Ranged Attack (RA) like Blurrgs for instance and they used it randomly on their own.
with release 5 teachable commands like Special 1 or RA have been added to CH and especially RA is available to MCH only for training that is.
the question to deal with is : why can i teach a wild-tamed RA enabled pet the 'use RA' but i can't teach it to a BE pet.
are BE pets more intelligent than tamed ones or even me?
if i can teach the command i want it to be used when i want and not the pet.
i can't tell when this issue came to my attention for after release 6 the running bug on pets was a greater pain in the ... uhm ... back.
why order a pet from a BE and want it to have RA if i even can't tell whether it really uses it or whether it's just the skin's animation for the common attack.
and besides this RA issue.
the special attacks on pets stink at all.
Giant Crystal Snakes got strong poison for Special Attack but i can hardly command the pet to use it. it's as randomly used as all the other SpA whatever pet out there got.
you wanna sacrifice your beloved pet just to poison that krayt for a bit of DoT more - (f-word) that !!
dizzy that Nightsister to support your carbines knockdown ? - no way punk !!
others call the CH profession a dead horse already but i don't, yet.
it's almost nerfed to uselessness especialy for pvp but still pets could be used for tanking or reinforcement while hunting.
if S0E's DEVs nerf something i'd like to know about.
stealth nerfs/patches just bother me.
my 2 cents
(getting closer to 1$)
