Smart heal centered on the Sorcerer, 28m radius. It can be out of range of its own share of the heal, and that does *not* free up the 3rd heal for a different target. EgoRush is right, if you're going to use it in dungeons and trials, you're going to have to get used to keeping it alive/recognizing the incoming guaranteed kills. At 10,487 health for VR16, it won't survive much direct damage. The only 'relocate' command we have currently is the Command Pet+Right Click function, returning it to the caster's position. This could be used to take it out of danger by having it stick to you until you're afield, then commanding it to attack from that location. I'm unsure of its approach radius from range, though. I'll test when the game's back up.

Be aware that it is a valid target for boss mechanics. This can be positive, like in Molag Kena: her Storm Atronach can land on your summon, away from the party. It can also be negative, such as in The Mage or The Serpent: Chain Lightning or World Shapers can choose its location to begin, sometimes causing unexpected damage or deaths.

If you're running a Ward on your bar, you can keep it up decently. Endgame healer sets should provide you with a 12-24k ward at max level, depending on which you are wearing and your Bastion investment. Its self-heal is guaranteed to heal it for 70% of its HP even at 30k magic. If you keep it within your ground heals, it should be topped up constantly. That would use up a target for them, however, so use discretion.

Is there a way to check the health of the pet without target it? In a mess of mobs or pvp, it would be hard to target the pets and see how many % it's left. Do we have to keep spamming ward and heal "just in case"?
