Reduce Maw of the Infernal size (-%20)

Soul Shriven
As a Maw of the Infernal user, and with companions coming in upcoming updates, I would think it a simple quality of life improvement if we dropped the size of the big fella down by 20%. He’s massive, obstructive, and also easily mistaken for an enemy in instances like Banished Cells II.

✭✭✭✭✭Reduce size 20%Shouldn't of specified a size because people will just choose other to specify a different number.
This also has nothing to do with any of the PTS changes so it would be better suited for the Combat or General section of the forums. You'd get more traction too.
But yeah, I'd take half the size at this point, along with all other pets in the game.0 -

✭✭Other (explain)Would prefer he just be invisible to other players (toggle option maybe).11 -

✭✭✭✭✭Other (explain)As much as I like him around sometimes, that thing is ridiculously annoying when he spawns right on top of you when you're trying to watch for a boss' heavies. Some dungeons all I can do is hold block and pray while Maw, Colossus, Atronach, Scamp, and Matriarch are all completely blocking me from seeing a thing.
I think the Aegis Caller set is only visible for the person who procs it, and I'd like to see that with some other sets as well. Or at least have it so anyone marked as tank can have group members' pets invisible. Definitely would make it easier to see boss telegraphs.0 -

✭Other (explain)Just get him to flank the enemy instead of getting in the tanks way and blocking telegraph's!3 -
honey_badger82✭✭✭✭Other (explain)It needs to be programmed to attack flank and rear instead of head on then it wont be as much of an issue. As a tank I try and turn the boss away from the daedroth and he follows everytime getting right back in front. This monster set has made it literally impossible to clear some vet dungeons when someone is wearing it. Cant see the heavy attacks and 1 shots that just happen to hit the moment you drop your shield for a badly needed heavy attack RSS restore.5

✭✭✭✭✭Don’t reduce the sizeMaybe make it and other summons something else entirely? I feel like 20% smaller would just look strange and not do much to address the problem. I’ve definitely attacked player summons, dodged out of the way of fire and on the other hand ignored daedra I shouldn’t have. The mistake is soon realized, of course, but it seems a strange and unnecessary problem to have to begin with.1 -

✭✭Other (explain)Add a toggle option in settings "Hide allied pets" just like we have the option to hide allied ground AoEs. Simple option, not much work since it is already an existing feature with AoEs, solves most if not all problems related to pets.
Solves Daedroths/Matriarchs/Bears blocking tank sight problem.
Solves pets making encounters less transparent problem.
Solves pets blocking crafting station problems.
Solves trial group looking like zoo problem when many of pet classes are present.Edited by Olupajmibanan on February 8, 2021 7:13AM2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Reduce size 20%Reducing its size would be nice but honestly I would prefer an option to turn off player's pets (unless in pvp zone or duel). They're just an eyesore and I'm tired of bears blocking my writ boxes.Edited by LadyNalcarya on February 8, 2021 7:44AMDro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

✭✭✭✭Other (explain)Or make them a really loud, different color from the normal ones! Hot pink would be fun. Or highlighter yellow and neon green.2 -
Batgirl✭✭✭Don’t reduce the sizeI'd love my Maw neon yellow, 20% bigger and with this fancy armour that daedroths in white gold tower wear

✭✭✭Other (explain)Make all combat pets, including those from sets, invisible, unless they are yours or enemy's in PVP2 -
Xebov✭✭✭✭✭
✭Other (explain)This would not solve the main issue: He spawns right infront of the enemy, which means for Bosses between the Boss and the Tank. Having it 20% reduced in size would barely do anything. What you need is a different spawn mechanic so it spawns either on the side or behind an enemy so it is out of the tanks way.Edited by Xebov on February 8, 2021 2:20PM5 -
katorga✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Reduce size 20%Maw needs to be the size of the sorc volatile familiar.
Matriarch needs to be the same size (or maybe double) of a nixad non-combat pet.
Ice staff shield needs to be made less visually disruptive.

pelle412✭✭✭✭✭Other (explain)I think the size is fine, but from a tank PoV it would be better if the daedroth attacked its target from the angle of the caster rather than all stacking right in front of the tank.0

✭✭Reduce size 20%20% minimum. And/or make it semi-transparent like a ghost.
I swear it's coded to always spawn and exactly stand on top of my tank while blocking my view of the boss. Unless there are legitimate Daedroth enemies -- in which case it runs all around randomly so I can't tell which is real.PC NA0 -

It is. It's absolutely coded to spawn directly in front of the enemy, and often moves so it stays in front of the enemy, which is awful for the tank or anyone holding aggro.1 -

Does the daedroth itself not hold aggro? (I don't know but mine seems to) . If so having it do a flanking or rear attack would mean your Boss will be constantly turning to face it with and end result of them both spinning in circles - or am I wrong?
(Mind you I might be confused as I'm running (for solo fun only) a 6 pet build at the moment so who knows what's got the aggro!)

I don't know, but when I am running dungeons with my friends who run Maw, we're all on DPS but I'm usually the one holding aggro because I have the higher DPS and it's ALWAYS in front of me, even when I move to get away from it and the boss follows me.0
