Twilight Matriarch Appreciation Thread

✭✭I love how the wings flapping in the face of my camera remind me that she is always there, even when I am trying to decide on a place to visit.

I love how she constantly reminds my face that she is always there, and even upstages the actors and distracts from important story moments!10 -

✭I love how they help out the tanks in trials and dungeons by pulling when no one is ready.

✭✭✭✭✭Every time i see a sorc with a Twilight Matriarch, I can't help but think of this scene:
"If a person is truly desirous of something, perhaps being set on fire does not seem so bad."5 -

✭✭✭✭✭I quest with my sorc, and I deactivate them after battle right away, I can't take the flappy wings
But for other players, as long their twilights are not taking over my screen in a wayshrine, small room, etc., keep enjoying them

False! It is actually someone else who pulls, and the pets respond to the aggro. Most non-pet people just assume the pets pulls, as they are hyper-acutely aware to the first moment of combat and no one is willing to admit they were the baddie that pulled, so blame unfairly gets shifted to pets and lesser blame is shifted to the pet user as a result. Usually someone throws the fighter guild trap at the ground to pull faster mid-explanation, or someone just gets too close to a mob and aggros. Lingering ground AOEs will also pull for multi-phase fights (think: cloud rest side minis, but i think they'll aggro on their own sometimes anyways). Pets never pull, any warden/sorc main will tell you this.
To prove this ask a sorc or warden vampire with stage 4 vampirism to sprint invis near mobs with their pet out, or simply give them an invis potion and ask them to sneak by a group of mobs that can be snuck past... aggro will not be pulled unless the mob is able to see invis people up to a certain range (like spiders and most bosses, then aggro will be pulled by the player). Same applies for companions
Credit to where credit is due, but our amazing winged Twilight friend is not responsible for this aggro'ing of the bosses/mobs phenomina, but they do get the blame!
Necro pets, however, are a different story altogether.
However, despite your love of them being misplaced- we can all love how they take the blame for people who preemptively aggro trash and bosses in dungeons and trials, so the people who really pulled don't get embarrassed or learn from their mistakes!

I have a Sorc and a Warden and currently run dungeons and trials - a lot. I have seen with my own eyes that unless the pet owner uses the control pet command, the pets will attack even if the owner doesn't attack or prebuff or have lingering ground dots. Every experienced raider knows to recast somewhere safe.
When we do add skips, I have seen the pet stay behind and attack while the owner isn't even there and hasn't engaged in combat anywhere.Edited by CrashTest on November 21, 2022 2:22PM0 -

Check your logs and record! There are people who love chaos and hate skipping, even in well-established trial guilds.0 -

Logs are broken rn and I've seen the pets do that bc I was behind group. The owner didn't attack and we were not in combat anywhere0 -
HedgeHugger✭✭✭Would be much better if they shrunk to the size of a nix (is that what they are called?) or even better a torchbug, then erupt into full size when they are called into battle.
Or just go invisible between aggro.
I detest the flappy things in my eyeline, but they do have their uses.3 -
