Too many pets in pvp

Dr_Ganknstein

I had a theory that with the massive influx of players + all their damn pets is what's making the game like like wet garbage on a hot summer day. It's like every person I come across had 2-3 pets. Also they are a targeting nightmare. For some reason the game likes targeting them instead of the player. Why? The sorcs winged thing likes to float right on top of a player and it flickers between the two targets like crazy when trying to target them. Please nerf.

Targeting is just genuinely broken in this game, and the targeting issues with pets are like the perfect example of it. Soft targeting is as soft as anything, sometimes targeting somebody standing behind you, and tab targeting is just as broken, sometimes letting skills hit other targets, and other times being hyper aggressive and targeting some dude you tabbed who's way off screen.

They really just need to make pets untargetable, and I'd be fine with them. So tired of tabbing onto a petsorc, throwing some skills out, only to have them hit his matriarch, because targeting is so janky in this broken game.

Not sorc related, but I was in the open world killing something while leveling my MagNecro.
Had this mob right in front of me, dead center of my target reticle.

Imagine my surprise as my heavy attack from my inferno staff shot directly right of me onto a critter minding it's own business. Sorry little crispy fella!


Targeting in this game is just wonky to begin with. I do agree, sorc zoo's definitely doesn't help the problem. That's exactly why they exploit it, in all honesty.

Pets don't need to be nerfed. What j think needs to happen us to make it so you can't target the pet. This stops sorcs having 3 pets out at a time and line of sighting your moves with them.

I have had so many stand offs with per sorcs doing this tactic. I usually just walk away from them with neither player dying because the sorc obviously doesn't want to fight lol.

Targeting is ridiculousness. While trying to hit an enemy NPC in front of me, I have, instead, hit rats that were behind me a few times this month.

As if there are not enough rocks and trees in PVP!! Pets are used as a line of sight. It's more annoying than chasing a player around a rock because, at least, the rock cannot attack you.
