I dont want to target the Sorc’s Pet...

mb10

Is there a way I can toggle off attacking pets because one of the most frustrating things with fighting sorcs is that their pets are in the way and we target them instead (that’s the point of sorcs using them I know)

There should be an option to not target sorcs like we can toggle off attacking innocents.

Either that or give the necromancer skeletal mage and wraith a health bar and let people attack them too -.-

I was in cryo the other day and had line of sight on the player, dropped ulti (shooting star) with crosshairs directly on the player and it targets the pet 10 yards away from the player. It's ridiculous......

Raisin

Well as you said, a little annoyance is the point.
But if the pets are close enough to be on the sorc, can't you just tap target the player?

Cortimi

No why would they ever allow you to put precious magsorcs at greater risk? That would be nerfing sorcs, and that isn't allowed on these forums.

Targeting is garbage . Seems worse since Elsweyr.

Kagukan

The more people complain about pets being annoying in PVP the more pets you will see in PVP. Just saying.

Tab targeting doesn't work. Video below shows tab targeting being hyper aggressive, and I have saved clips of me fighting a sorc to my left who I have tabbed, but for some reason a few attacks went to some other guy to my right.

Targeting has gotten worse. I find myself targeting rats all the time now even when the curser is clearly on a mob

Thorvarg

I only hate these pets in towns

Aight, figured it was worth a shot. I know tab target has never been reliable, but in my experience it's been good enough to at least pick the right target in a stack. :X

I still think it'd be a shame to have to take away that functionality from pets, but I guess the chances are slightly better than actually fixing targeting lmao

Tan9oSuccka

There’s a reason the Yolo Sorcs run pets, Engine Guardian and hop around like idiots.

Targeting nightmare.

WoppaBoem

Please fix this asap. It so unfair the advantage of the pets. FIX IT ZOS

Oh, if you think that's bad, literally just got a clip on my magsorc of me tab targeting a guy and trying to flame reach him, flame reach hit both guys next to him before it actually landed on him. Gonna cut it up and upload it tonight.

They should make all pets unkillable in PvP and make them untargetable. Or what they could do is make it so a high percent of damage done to the pet is delivered to the sorc as well. Just my two cents though, I often just leave pet sorcs Alo e as it usually results in stalemates and endless kiting lol.

Ackwalan

I hate it when I hit the pet instead of the sorc. Some of those sorcs have really mastered using their pet as a shield. You know what? That is a valid use of a class ability.

Sounds beautiful. :'D I'm just a filthy PVEer, my targeting mishaps don't compare to that. @ me with that clip later if you will

Emma_Overload

LMFAO!

LOS is NOT the primary reason sorcs run pets. But go off I guess.

On those rare occasions I run into another mag sorc, I don't have any major issues hitting the sorc in the middle of his zoo. It does take some effort and some re-positioning sometimes, but you guys are massively exaggerating the problems.

Emma_Overload

BTW, if you guys REALLY want to get rid of pets, petition ZOS to make the Resto staff usable. I guarantee that if Resto heals (including Healing Ward) are buffed properly, 90% of the pets in Cyrodiil will disappear overnight.

Fur_like_snow

I’ve gap closed backwards into a pet because the targeting is so wonky in this game sometimes.

I’d like to see the size of all sorc pets reduced to the size of a wisp. They can still be targetable just not obnoxiously blocking LOS.

This. Just make them like 100% smaller or even less. And ALWAYS priority target players and never the pet.

sorc main here,

by all means fix the targeting system. I am more than fine with this and even agree that PET SORC needs some nerfing. It is very strong. Just dont nerf non pet. There basically 2 different classes. Pet sorc it doing to well and non pet is complete trash

CambionDaemon

Petition ZOS to buff proper Sorcerer's, then you can moan about pets.

TequilaFire

Buff sorcs, now that is funny!

Heres the thing. Theres alot of misunderstanding about sorc because noone ever specifies which type of magsorc there talking about.

Pet sorc needs a nerf or at least a targeting fix. Non pet needs a buff, at the very least to sustain.

I have this issue all the time in PVP and indeed, the toggle to focus on one person is never reliable.

On my MagSorc, i run the Clannfear because it gives me a 10k burst heal. I would actually prefer if you didn't try to kill it.

All tab-targeting does in this game is highlight the target for visual acuity. All standard combat rules still apply. If you have something tab-targeted, and 10 other targets walk in front of you, it will still be impossible to hit the targeted person.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here lies the hourly Nerf Sorc thread.

Thorvarg

And my old Anti-Sorcerer-Pet Thread (n.o.m.a.a.m.) was closed, because the issue is outdated. I wonder where and how the problem is solved.

So basically, you want the game to be skilled in your stead ? If you had no clue, I'd explain, but you KNOW that pets are meant to shield their master, so basically you're just making another "nerf sorc" thread...

If you use a pet sorc you have 0 thumbs
