No pet damage in PvE => No heals to pets please?

Armisael9

Hello @ZOS_GinaBruno ! Thank you for making pets (love pets) immortal in dungeons, trials, and arenas and for fixing some of them getting attacked in Trials (i.e. Chain Lightning vAA).

I wanted to ask that as this is the case, can they also be immune to heals? I know for some trials that pets receiving heals is a concern (i.e. vHRC final boss mechanic Starfall, vHoF HM). Thank you again and I look forward to your reply!

In my opinion it never really was a concern. Sure on paper adds could soak up healing, but it never really impacted actual gameplay in a noticeable way in my opinion. Now with them not taking damage they also don't soak up healing unless you overheal anyway and the impact is pretty much not existent. I agree that they shouldn't receive healing if they cant take damage, I just think it wouldn't change much and there are bigger problems, even if we just look at heal targeting.

I'm guessing you are asking for pets to be immune to heals only in those situations when they are immortal?

I spend plenty of time with overland dolmens and WBs and such and my healer quite likes the ability to top off the pets of other players when the pets get in trouble.

And my little warden really likes being able to heal her bear in overland bits.

In PVP my pet is healed by the enemy guards. Don't mind keeping the guards busy with healing my pet lol.

Looks like another nerf to sorcs is coming.

Except they didn't do any of that stuff, they just lied about it.

Pets still die in dungeons, trials, and arenas.

Right pets still die in dungeons. The second boss in COH 1 will kill your pet. Happens to me every time I run it.

Did this happen recently?

It was in the Mirkmore patch notes that pets would receive zero damage in dungeons, trials and arenas?

Yes a couple of days ago when COH was the pledge.

Pets can still die very quickly. My understanding from the patch notes is:

- Pets are immune to damage in certain content
- Outside that content pets receive a 85% damage reduction from AoE abilities
- Pets inherit the casters crit resistance but have 18k Spell and physical resistance otherwise
- Shields are no longer a good protection because they’re cut in half

So outside various bugs that still may be there, it’s easy to see that single target abilities can very well quickly kill pets outside group content.
