The vAS trial currently prohibits the use of pets, not because they die too often but because pets are targeted by the meteors spawned by the main boss. In its current state pet magicka builds are prohibited from doing +1 or HM +2 which is kind of unfair to pet users.
@ZOS_GinaBruno are there any plans on making pets to not be targeted with meteors or is this a made intentionally. Feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
