Sorcerer Pets dying in Endless Archive
For some reason, pets take damage in the Endless Archive. As I main a Sorcerer-Tank, I heavily rely on the heal from clanfear. This has multiple bad implications:
- In AoE-Heavy fights, especially the Tho'at Replicanum, the clanfear dies almost immediately.
- During the corridor fights, the pet would pull aggro of enemies. This makes stacking really difficult in some cases as this can happen behind corners rather far away.
- It also makes Sorc-DD even less viable in the Archive.
At the Tho'at in Arc 4, I was not able to heal myself with my clanfear at all anymore. I would summon it and before I could even get out a single heal it would die from all the AoEs present. This is not even to mention the long cast time for the summon itself (in which I have to leave block). It was really frustrating and took a lot from the otherwise great experience.
There isn't really a way to build or play around this without being so inefficient you might as well not play Sorc at all. The clanfear is the only reliable heal in the class-kit of a Sorc-Tank. So all I can do is to ask for the pets to work like in almost any other instanced content and be immune.
