Should Sorc Pets be Buffed for PvP - Reduced Casting Times and More

I love using the Clannfear and Twilight Matriarch while in PvE. The Clannfear draws aggro off me so I can take of the mobs while also having a powerful self heal. The Twilight Matriarch has a good heal for me, it, and allies. However, in PvP, they're almost useless. They do die a lot, which is no surprise, but the cast time to summon them leaves me a sitting duck. Since sorcs don't have a great self heal for PvP that doesn't require either a restoration staff, the pets would be a good option if buffed. The amount of health for them is to be increased in PvP areas, so that is not the issue. I suggest a reduction in cast time for summoning them, either a half second or instant. This would make pets more viable in PvP and giving sorcs good self heals. This would also make Daedric Prey a good option for PvP as well, with the extra 50% damage.

Also PLEASE make pets invisible to other players with the player is stealthing. I want to use them in PvP AND sneak without being a sitting duck.

    My opinion:

    Sorc pets need 3 things to be considered "ok" in pvp.
    1. One slot for one pet, not 2 slots (its still a toggle)
    2. Scale off more then just max magicka, spelldmg and cp needs to also be taken into account.
    3. Cast time to summon is much too long, any cast time in pvp is detrimental to the caster vs good pvp-oponents. If it cant be removed, atleast make it 0.5 seconds.

    When and IF all of the above conditions are met by ZOS, sorceror pets can be taken into consideration for a pvp-build. IMO.

    They have to go a long way to get anywhere remotely vaible for both pvp and pve.

    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge
