Well, in trials and 4 men they have been made immortal (wrong way to go, a crutch, in my opinion) so of course you feel they are better.starkerealm wrote: »I haven't seen a problem with pets today, and I have seen better survival from them.

I am talking everywhere else.
I don't even want to enter vMA to try, any random quest NPC can 3 shot them now.

I haven't seen a problem with pets today, and I have seen better survival from them. So, maybe it's that I haven't had all day to play, but they certainly seem to be less of a pain than they used to be.

see, this is what I originaly thought. but apparently, they are only better in dungeons. solo content? not so much. what people are talking about here is SOLO content.
edited.. wait VMA doesn;t count as dungeon content? well... what the bloody hell... I was actualy looking forward to trying MA with new supposedly immortal pets. GAH

It should be. IIRC it flags as a dungeon for Slayer and Aegis. If it's not for pets, that's really damn weird.
I figured my Clanfear just somehow drew aggro. But, for the most part enemies seemed to ignore my pets today.

I'm guessing they ignored the pets because they were already dead...

MA is an arena, hence Pets behave like for any other PvE content. Only trials and group dungeons have Pet immunity.
vMA is now a real pain if you previously ran a light armor magicka Pet Sorc that relied on shields to survive.

It's not the end of day ...
Just change to non pet build , what you have to do is melt everything quickly before they melt you
How on Earth do you guys get your pets dying so much?
I'm using empowered ward (40%) and my pets rarely die when soloing world bosses, let alone normal npc enemies that are quite easy to kill anyway. You were doing something wrong but past buffs were easy mode so they got your covered.
So, make sure to shield AND heal your pets, even if your HP is max. If one of your pets is getting hits from the boss, there's like 99% chance his shield will wear off and will take hp damage. Buff the HP with Matriarch and recast the shield. By doing this timely and right your pets will not die that easily if at all. Also make sure to spread CP points wisely and do not use Bastion anymore.
So far I tested BGs and overland content and so far so good. It's not easy mode anymore, but it's far from impossible and BGs are more or less the same.
And one more thing - frags got a buff and it shows. The frag speed seems slightly increased since PTS3 and it's not an issue in PVP. Also 20-24% reduction in snare and 15-18% reduction for speed for light armour also shows.

There were changes to the way Pets draw aggro and take damage in group PvE content. So, basically a buff, though it's not 100%. There's still some glitches.
