Notes[edit]

  • Instantly commands your pet to teleport to a nearby fallen ally, then teleport itself and the downed ally back to your location, and then begin reviving them and grant regeneration to allies. Since it teleports the ally to you, it is very useful to pull them out of danger, including Finishers.
    • If there is no valid path to target, the pet will still teleport to a downed ally, but they will only teleport back to the nearest, possible route to the ranger, then start reviving.
  • If the pet is downed, it will still teleport a downed ally to the player, but it won't revive the player.
  • Defeated allies are unaffected unless the skill was activated while the defeated ally was downed. This includes NPCs.
    • This means that the pet is capable of reviving a dead ally, but only if the ally died while they were downed and the pet was already trying to revive them.
  • Similar to Lick Wounds, if the pet is interrupted, it will continue reviving after the interrupt. The pet will only stop reviving if the target revives, or if the pet dies, of if the ranger issues a new command to the pet.
  • If there are no nearby fallen allies around you, for the next 15 seconds, the first time you go in range of a fallen ally the pet will move to them and teleport them back to your location [verification requested]. Swapping pet will cancel this effect.

  • When merged as a Soulbeast, the downed ally will be teleported to the Soulbeast, and the Soulbeast will start reviving them.
