Do pets steal buffs and heals? Are there any videos or links showing an answer one way or the other?

    Pets can definitely get buffs like SPC and you can certainly heal them as they have health bars. 1 or 2 sorcs running a pet in a raid is really not an issue. One reason is that none of these buffs are up 100% and its frankly better your pet get SPC than your tank. Now if you had 8 sorcs running 2 pets each, you might have some issues.

    ZoS changed pet mechanics during homestead. Pets only get buffs if there is no valid player in range to get the buff. I'll dig up the natch pote for you in a minute.

    That's good to see.
    I noticed the other day that some npcs at the start of a dungeon were getting my SPC buff. I thought it was weird but if they are prioritised last it's all good.
