What I am referring to are pets that stay by your side by default and have dash and growl replaced with ranged abilities. This would be a boon to both BM and MM (not sure about SV as I haven’t played it), especially in group situations and against bosses. It will also open up the floor for more variety in choice.

It will in fact do the opposite.
Ranged pets will absolutely be superior to melee pets, effectively removing all existing pets as a choice.

No thanks. It goes against the theme that’s hunter.

I’d be okay with a ranged pet that executed its pet abilities whenever I pressed them, sort of like from your shoulder that did no damage. Not sure how that would work with CCing. On that matter, I think a PvP talent where you and your pet share DRs would be cool.
Don’t think ranged pets would be likely, but I’d take them just to have them be more reliable, even if they had to balance with less damage or something.

At one point we had range pets. Wind Serpents use to have Lighting Breath that the would shoot at distance, but then the pvp crowds whined and it was removed.
Seems odd from a class fantasy standpoint, your pet is your utility for hunting / tracking… if it hangs out near your side it’s not really doing much other than guarding / protecting.
Plus looking at tweaking/adjusting how Kill Command functions with your pet, would have to set it up so it doesn’t charge at the enemy.
