Which fights do petsorcs disable their pets in trials?

kts · May 2018

I've made a sorc for trials since I need a ranged DPS character, the heavy attack petsorc build looks appealing but I'm just wondering where it would be "useless" in vet trials so I can get an idea if I should roll a non petsorc instead

In vSO the last boss (serpent) will kill your pets pretty consistently so disable pets there or at least the scamp. On vAA last boss (mage) disable the scamp. Twilight is fine. In vHRC pets can trigger starfall. In vmol you can pet on all bosses so its cool there. vHoF all bosses are fine. You should carefully control pet on Assembly General tho or ou will wipe group. In vAS HM nobody runs pets at all cuz rip. Cloudrest- fine on +0 Not sure about HM.

Small additions to the above:

- vMoL 1st boss: when you enter the room pets usually bug and become unresponsive during the fight. So, unsummon them before going inside the room, then summon them after you went in.

- vMoL 2nd boss(es): last pet tick stuns the adds and makes them impossible to chain. This is REALLY a Bad Thing, so you either non use pets (suggested for beginners) or know how to alter your rotation to always avoid the last pet tick or you learn controlling the pet so well that he'll never tick next to adds at range.

- hmAA: I am not sure now, but in the past (and possibily even now), the Storm Atronach ultimate counted as a proper pet "entity" and would quickly decimate melee people due to proximity discharge.

Some of these have been fixed. Never seen any in So, but hrc is most definitely fixed. Did all sorc vet hrc not long ago. On console I imagine vhof final boss is interesting.

vHoF the final boss, at least on HM. healing goes to the pet so HS will end up hitting only 5 players and missing a player missing one heal can be an issue. Of course, pets do need heals so making them not healable is an issue. Also requires the player to properly command the pet in that fight due to phases damage to the boss gives raid wide damage.

vAS the pets give an additional lightning meteor which just clutters up the area with more damage.

That is off the top of my head.

Don't use pets on the final boss of vHoF. They steal healing ticks during execute and will wipe the group. Not an issue if your group has enough DPS to avoid 2nd exhaustion entirely. But if you are running with players of that kind of caliber, you wouldn't be here on the forums asking.
