Sorc pets dying extremely fast

I know zeni just recently buffed this issue, but sorc pets still die inside of 1-2 seconds in pvp. It makes them absolutely useless. I am not asking for them to be immortal, but perhaps have more then 25k health (clannfear) and perhaps cap damage per hit to maybe 5% of their max health?

    Neither in pve. Pets are by far, the worst ability/mechanic in the game next to aoe caps.

    But but but... @Wrobel fixed that!

    He made it so pets can't be one-shot anymore!

    It takes two, which you land in one second with animation cancelling!

    In order for pets to be viable in PvP, they need to be made completely IMMUNE to player damage.

    They are melting because their shield duration was shortened to 6 seconds as well. They were ok before because the shields stayed up.

    There is a 10 sec morph, which I use 'cause I could NOT get the hang of the 6 sec one.

    Also, they are easy targets in PvP; just don't have the dodge AI like PCs do. I do a pet build as my mostly-solo Vet (what do we say now, CP?), and she runs around in Craglorn and where-ever and does just fine. Also undaunted (normal and vet mode) and the pets are lovely for semi-tanking.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    I have always wanted to make a pet build. In fact at once point I had a stam sorc bow user that used the pets:D but sadly, the pets are not very good, even with mana builds. they are slow, damage is low, and they die quickly.

    Man a EP guild on Xbox have made me hate Sorcs pets.YesterdayThe entire guild groups had either people running the pet morph of werewolf and all of their Sorcs had theiir pets summoned.So imagine me a redguard on his Wolf mount getting chase by a freaken hord of Sorc and werewolf pets.About 30 pets in total chased me from chalman to dragonclaw.It wasn't a fun sight.

    There are two good pets worth using in PVP. The others are bad unless you already have one of the other two out.

    1. Greater storm atronach - it's great to drop on a big group of enemies.

    2. The Daedroth from the Maw of the Infernal set. It's amazing, I almost got smoked by one tonight. It's proc based though, but it happens enough to be effective.

    Clanfears are great when there's already a storm atronach or a Daedroth killing people. Otherwise I wouldn't bother.

    If you like pet builds, use one of the first two, drop a second or third when one of the others are out.

    The pets just need to not follow the shield change for time and allow them to remain for 30 seconds. Having to monitor both pets health bars, actively use their abilities along with your others and then on top of that monitor their shields is just too much in pvp for their lack luster dps.

    Update 11 with sets coming back to v16 from v12 I'll go back to my sorc for a bit I'm sure and use my pet build. It was very effective after IC but this update its just so meh.

    Pets in pvp a waste of time always has been and always will be , when it comes to high pings your pets will do nothing. Personally I would prefer they removed them so that could give sorc a better armoury to improve dps other than the now boring mages wrath, curse, shard class skills. I think we all need a refresh now after 2 years yawn.

    That's not true, small scale pvp after 1.6 came out pets on PC have been great until recent. Sure they still need buffs and tweaks but overall from 1.6 - orsinium a well played pet build is almost unkillable and can dish out some high consistent dps.
