[Suggestions] How to fix sorc summoned pets

Attorneyatlawl

I've complained about summoned pets since July.... the main problems are that pets cannot be commanded to assist you or to back off of a target/disengage which makes them useless in group pve or any form of pvp pretty much... they don't scale with stats or gear which quickly makes them useless for damage/healing/tanking in the mid-late game and veteran levels, and they take up a valuable slot on your hotbar to boot with an already limited number. To add insult to injury they get desummoned if you swap bars, meaning you need to give up 1/5 of your slots on BOTH bars to have a pet out. Finally they die in AOE immediately and there's no way to help them avoid it.

SUGGESTIONS:

-Make pressing the pet summon button while a pet is active tell the pet to attack your current target. Or, make the button have an extra active ability that the pet uses upon being pressed again at a magicka cost so it isn't a "dead" slot that you do nothing with after summoning.

-Add a pet passive button and keybind so that we can tell our pets to disengage or not automatically attack the nearest squirrel in PVP.

-Make pets scale with your gear such as spell damage, stamina, magicka, armor, and resistances.

-Give pets a 50%-75% incoming AOE damage reduction so they don't die in a fire immediately upon entering combat.

-Make pets revert to last known state when switching between bars: if you had one summoned and alive on bar 1, then swap bars away it would desummon. However, once you went back to bar 1, the pet would immediately and automatically re-appear with the amount of health it had upon being hidden with no additional cost. If the pet had not been alive/summoned when you had swapped off, then it would not be summoned until manually done and at the normal magicka cost.
