Necro pet damage (Blastbones) and pet healing (Spirit Mender) are not counted in BG scoreboard

This leads to inaccurate scoring and perception by players as to the actual contribution of a Necro player.

EDIT: Likewise, kills from pets such as Blastbones do not show up in the kill feed, but they are counted on the scoreboard as a kill for the Necro player.

    They just closed similar topics from 2022 and 2023. Just for the reference, this bug has been there from the beginning, dating 2019, never has been addressed/communicated, and I think never will be, because the tendency is that devs don’t really care about anything related to necromancers (or they actually make it worse, like recent blastbones example shows).

    This bug also effects the passive DoT and HoT effects for sorc pets, but the player on-demand triggers of the pet abilities correctly is counted towards the player.

    @ZOS_Kevin This bug has been present since BGs were introduced. Is the team aware of this inconsistency? It can lead to quite a bit of toxicity and misconceptions - I personally have been accused of hacking before in BG matches where I get a lot of kills on Blastbones focused builds, as I'll often have the lowest scoreboard damage in the BG.

    Is warden bear damage also not counted? It sounds like there might be a larger bug/design choice affecting pets in general.

    I haven't tested (I never use the bear on my Stamden), but from what I heard from other players, the same problem applies to the Bear. Active use does show up on the scoreboard.

    Correct, the bear damage is also not counted (although the hemorrhaging and active execute proc should show up).
