Big Pet problem
Lirkin
✭✭✭✭
I have been playing my fairly new sorcerer and found that the pet is dying a lot after taking on low level mobs. When I watched the pet I found that it's health goes down and it doesn't heal between fights. Is this intentional??
If they are not going to heal between fights what good are they? We need to be able to see there health on a bar on the interface and heal them some way. I know that there is one morph that allows for healing by hitting there button again but what do the other morphs do and we need to see their health at all times or take them away and give us other options.

Wow... I enjoyed using pets in VMA because it brought a little ounce of fun into the boring grind. ZOS just destroyed that fun.0 -

Remember that they benefit from your class ward. My scamp doesn't die too frequently in vMA, even post change.
Not sure what the intended playstyle is, though. Are all summoners supposed to slot a Restoration ground heal?0 -

Hopefully it won't be as bad as I'm thinking. There are certain mechanics that have me worried though with the change to heavy attacks (pets switch to your heavy attack target). They'll be running into AOE and hazards while I'm trying to restore resources. Just off the top of my head I'm thinking these will be a pain.
- Spinning blades in round 2.
- Lightning swamp in round 3.
- Ice water in round 5.
- Round 7 they die already anyway when the Daedroth screams.
- Round 9 Ceremonial Guardians fire breathing.0 -
the_man_of_steal✭✭✭Don't worry, my friend. The main thing ZOS focuses on is improving pets and playing with pets. This will be hot fixed soon! #JokeOfAGame0

✭✭Here I was thinking this thread was about big pets getting in the way or something. So many of the pets are tiny I couldn't imagine why someone would complain about a big one.
I haven't played my pet sorcerer recently but it sounds like they've made them a lot less fun to play with that change. For me fun is the whole point of playing one so that's disappointing.
Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

✭✭✭✭✭It really hinders solo play... What do I gotta slot a resto staff for my familiar again?2 -
Lirkin✭✭✭✭I don't think you can heal them but you can make them heal themselves but it uses a lot of your mana.

If that's true, they changed something that had been set up since the beginning.
They also made Trinimac's Valor the most nerfed pos ever0 -

Apparently they want all pet users to slot a heal as well or take the pet heal morph, and they must slot a heal that will target the pet reliably also which limits their option to restoration staff and one or two skills.
Honestly, this is just another reason I don't use pets if I can avoid it.
They can't even make pets work as well as when the City of Heroes TRUE stand-alone expansion City of Villains came out and gave amazingly adequate pets to a class called "Mastermind". I dare them to look it up and compare how big a failure pets and pet classes in this game are.0
