Pets and a Lack of F2 Responsiveness

Currently, the F2 (activated) skills of many companions either:

a) Do not work instantly and can have up to a 5 second delay

b) Only work after several attempts at mashing F2

c) Will cancel themselves and go on a cooldown without using the skill if F2 if mashed too much trying to get the skill to activate

This is a major issue for myself as a level 80 Ranger, and has been a thorn in my side since i started at level 1. Patch notes from several days indicate this should be fixed. It is not. I’m posting this here in hopes other Rangers will share in my pain.

*Note: some pets do have instant activated skills, such as the shark or jaguar, most others however do not.

A fix for part b) is in the works. This should also help mitigate the issues of part c) since you won’t have to mash F2 so much, though I am also aware of this issue.

Part a) varies depending on each pet, so perhaps a list of the ones that are particularly troublesome could help to get them looked at =)
