Do Pets Still Trigger Chain Lightning?

Valrien

Or was this fixed?

Are there any other raids that aren't pet friendly?

Unfortunately pets still attract chain lightening, which makes Pet Sorcs and Wardens still not ideal for AA and Asylum Sanctorium (especially wardens whose dps drops significantly without the bear)...

The other trials should be fine but when I ran vHRC last time, the raid leader told us to put away pets for last boss hm. Not sure exactly which mechanic is pet-unfriendly but maybe HRC also counts.

They do not get targeted by the Chain Lightning but they can be targeted by the chain effect. So it is still an issue and you should never use pets in these kind of fights.

Range pets are fine, but melee ones have issues and you have to plan tactics around it.

Maybe they are targetted by his shield throw and then miss the gargoyles?

ZoS don't care about pets, they proove it each patch.

Maybe you will have your PvE bug fixed, but don't even think about PvP if you play it.

Also not sure if the rest of the behavior of pets is correct(mostly tested with sorc pets since no no does play a warden in pve):

vAA: they can connect chain lightning but they will never targeted first by the mage
vAS: the storm of heaven also affects the sorc pets which can kill the pets or can kill other players
vSO: world shaper will kill the pets
vHR: not sure but the used to get the star shower at the execute phase but i think they changed it, but i think they still die when someone breaks free per synergy (e.g tank)
vMoL: they work very well in there on all bosses but i think you still have to re-summon the pet at the first boss or it will bug out and not attack
vHoF: the pet is kinda tricky(but still ok to use) on the 4th boss since drain shots/traps will cc it for the whole duration and the lightning ring on the middle boss will kill pets really fast if you don't watch out. The last boss you only need to watch out that your pet does not attack the main boss when you have to kill the little spheres on the sides.
