Not the other way around. No stam sorc uses this morph. It chews up your stamina just to keep the speed buff up. Speed is a utility

Pets: i've never actually used pets in PvP till today. and i have been having a lot of fun with it actually. and i've seen a good deal of other sorcs using pets as well. I think the change to pets is pretty good. although, might wanna consider binding a seperate key for desummoning because they still don't stealth properly.
Is there a way to prevent pets from casting damage abilities so they don't get agro ? I think the winged twilight looks very interesting for sorc healing. However, if it's not dependable and dies all of the time in group dungeons, it's pointless.
There is not. at least not that i have found. but in terms of healing in group dungeons it's better to go with Surge plus high crit. and Volatile familiar with it's AOE Pulse.
But even putting that aside. you should be able to sustain it now that pets also regen health.
I've only been in PvP so far. i would like to test how pets perform in Vet dungeons and trials tho. Might do that later today.
When you do have a chance to test it in PvE please post your back and let us know how it works. I won't have a chance to get on PTS for a couple of days
So you delete all Toogles but stick with Bound Armor as a toogle?
Can you explain why or did you just forget about that?
So, someone in the PTS can test if pets abilities have a cooldown ?

If these new non-toogle change work well, bound armor would probably be the newt one on the list.
I would love to have the 8% minor damage reduction while slotted, with minor defense/resistance while activated. Morph can be minor damage reduction/minor defense + resistance for the entire group on activation, or minor berserk on activation.

@RinaldoGandolphi I think the double pong makes more sense than a single pong because defensive posture is reactive and we have to do two abilities to make our one ability connect... Not to mention using a specific weapon to have access to the ability. Without the double pong we're basically unable to ever use frags against a dk. With double pong it was our choice to focus our build on it and use the resources to utilize it against a dk.

Ok, but Defensive Posture itself is broken and i'd be all about going back to the double reflect but Defensive Posture would have to be changed in order to do that.
right now a DK casts Wings it lasts 4 secs....very very short duration.
right now a Sword and Board user can cast Defensive Posture it lasts 30 seconds but it only reflects spells.
However here is the issue with Defensive Posture:
After casting Defensive Posture, you can switch weapons to a Destruction Staff or anything else and still reflect projectiles even though your not using the weapon
Change this and im all on board with double reflect.
Can I use Wrecking Blow while using a Bow?
Can i use Executioner while using a Resto Staff?
why are Sword and Board users able to use a Weapon Skill when the said weapon is not their active weapon?
In other words, change Defensive Posture to where:
If you cast Defensive Posture you must have a Sword and Shield on your active bar in order to reflect anything If you cast Defensive Posture then Swap Bars, Turn on Overload, etc, then it cancels the Defensive Posture buff and you lose it....thats only fair. Make this change and im all about doulbe reflect, until then, no way.
You shouldn't be able to reflect projectiles with Defensive Posture if the active weapon on your current bar is not a Sword and Shield, if you switch to a resto or anything else, you lose the reflect buff....Thats balanced, do that and im all for double reflect.

Rapid Regen keeps ticking away after you swap bars away from resto staff, healing ward doesn't dispel when you swap. Rally Still heals after you swap weapons, volley still does damage for the duration, and blade cloak still does it's thing. I don't really care one way or another about the balance of defensive posture, but you're argument is cherry picking. There are plenty of weapon abilities which work even after swapping bars, whole builds are based around doing just that.
