Sorcerer pets not healing

Magdalina

I wasn't able to find a thread about it if there already is one, though I did see other posts on the subject in different threads. Sorc pets, at least familiar for sure, appear to no longer be regenerating health/healing themselves even after the combat is over. They just stay permanently wounded until healed by someone else(or resummoned). Is this intended? There's nothing about this in the patch notes.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom - is this something you could clear up for us?

I've noticed the exact same thing in limited play with my clannfear using bowsorc. After a fight, he was always autohealed. Now he just stays with the minor damage until I heal him. Glad you mentioned this so I know it is not just me. I'm also curious if this is intended and, like you, I saw nothing about it in the natch potes when I reviewed them during maintenance this morning.

I noticed this myself, another thing to add is normally they HoT during combat. Small ticks but they should be healing even in combat and they haven't been. I quickly skimmed over the patch notes searching for anything pet related and didn't come across any intentional changes to pet healing.

Yeah. I've made a post about this in the bugs section but it slowly got pushed down.

I'm pretty sure this is a bug. Not regaining health out of combat is just an annoyance. If you don't have a real you have to dismiss and resummon?

I totally understand the nerfs stated in the patch, but nothing was in the patch notes about this. If it was, it wouldn't make sense anyway which leads me to believe it's a bug.

As far as I know we haven't heard anything about it from ZoS. I have completely dropped my pet build until otherwise.

Yes there is another thread and Gina replied yesterday that she's looking into it:

Awesome, thanks for letting us know.

Just noticed this today as I haven't been playing my sorc. As a stam build, I can afford to use magic 3 times to heal it!

gina said it was intended by developers that they dont regen health in or out of combat anymore.

Hey guys, apologies for the delay. We got some answers tracked down for you and this is, actually, intended behavior. There were some changes for pets that went in back on the PTS, and unfortunately the patch notes for the changes were missed. Here are the things we changed and what is currently live:

• Removed passive healing from summoned pets.
• Increased a pet's damage reduction to radius attacks to 85% from 75%. This bonus applies to all attacks in Trials.
• Clannfear pets no longer taunt enemies in Trials.

This was an intended nerf. No pets heal anymore.
