ZOS FIX THE CLANNFEAR !!!

RANKK7

The Clannfear is now completely useless, what the hell are you thinking ZOS?? It wasn't even used by anyone for damage!
In the patch notes there is no mention of the changes but, matter of fact, this ability is now dead!
It was very tanky and resistant, indeed useful ONLY for that!

It's now so squishy is unbelievable, he completely lost regen and this must be a bug! The AI seems to be broken! What the hell are you doing??
If this was intended, it's the most idiotic change I ever testified, this ability is now trash!

If this is a bug, I truly hope will get fixed SOON. I'm really on the edge to leave this game, why can't we have nice things? Even one ability no one ever complained about got nerfed?! Bring back the damn Clannfear as it was!

Not native speaker but should be clear enough.

I haven't played my pet sorc today so I didn't notice any changes. But, definitely, if they nerfed or broke the clannfear, they need to fix/change that! The only reason I use clannfear is for the tankiness and resilience.

They ruined the Clannfear indeed, there is no point at all using it, hopefully it's a bug. I found another thread, that's about all the pets in general and the Clannfear followed the same route about downgraded AI and regen bug.

Look at these comments:

"i think pets not regen is a bug."

"I also think non regenerating health is a bug but...it's Zenimax we're talking about. Even if it is a bug it'll likely take them 3+ months to fix in best case>.< In worst, it'll just become a "feature". "

"I really hope the health regen is a bug that gets fixed in the next incremental patch. Certainly easy to kill pets is going to make my bot killing hobby easier, but in practical combat it sucks royally."

"Pets do not auto heal at all any more."

"ZoS actually made the AI dumber... I didn't think this was possible. It's so bad now, that when I attack a target dummy... the scamp attacks a different target dummy. ZoS, please. Why?"

"That they don't regenerate health is annoying and for some reason I have to activate the Twilights heal twice to bring the Clannfear back to full. Since I like to take a breather in between fights that's not really dramatic for me. The magicka regenerates eventually.
The thing that's absolutely frustrating is the heavy attack thing. My clannfear used to target the boss and that's how it should be. Now it attacks whoever I attack, ignores the boss entirely and dies. In a fight against bosses that keep summoning minions over and over - like bone colossi - it is especially annoying."

At any rate, if not a bug, this is unbelievable, they killed an ability; the only point of the Clannfear is to be tanky and resistant as it was, they just made this ability completely trash and useless.

I have noticed that the pets no longer regain health out of combat. Nothing in the patch notes about it so i'm assuming its a bug.

Probably a bug.

Even so, I'm pretty sure the other classes have absolutely nothing to complain about. </sarcasm>

Yes, clanfear is for tanking+ bonus heal, scamp for damage and twilight for heal.
The clanfear is also pretty useless outside of solo stuff

The_Red_Viper

I second that. My clannfear instantly dies. Not even using the skill anymore. Shame because it wasn't even effecting anyone.

Might as well add the heavy attack to direct pet issue here as well.

In well intentioned effort to make pets more controllable, all ZOS has done is nerf pets overall more, and specifically make clanfear useless at the one thing it is supposed to do --- tank and absorb dmg for you.

Clanfear is used primarily in solo situations, and did a decent job at staying on minibosses or whatever main mob while you cleaned up the adds. With it being redirected willy nilly with heavy attacks, and given HAs are the new meta for sustain, it makes clanfear basically useless as a tanking pet unless you don't heavy attack.

Which would be fairly hard given the new HA sustain meta.

Please provide alternate way to command pet, or revert to prior way which worked just fine to send in and redirect pet (command Y). Linking it to heavy attacks is just another example of ZOS left hand not knowing what right hand is doing.
