I'd be deliriously happy to have the bear slotted on both bars. It's a trade off.
You get a perma ultimate pet and either don't swap to the other bar unless it's an emergency and you need something on that bar, or you slot the bear ult on both bars.
In one interview the way the described the bear was that it wasn't perma by default. One of the morphs makes it perma. So we might also have the option of it functioning more like the sorc atronach.
Good question, the clanfear is a bit random here.Will it survive zoning?
