Immortal pets that kill allies on Vaa last boss and st olms xP
It's a not so subtle message saying Play as a PET SORC and SHUT THE HELL UP. Yes it's knee jerk to the Shield Nerfs, and is simpler to code Immune to damage lol.
My fear as this will be the foundation justification for all Sorc nerfs in the future. I'm wondering if anyone asked for this, or does it make sense??... I can hear the cries now. SORCS are Soloing content no one could solo prior by some mechanism of invincible pets... then Nerfbat.
P.S.
So the "Rebate" Summoning passive doesn't apply in dungeons as pets will never die... Needs another adjustment or just do without it. Meh.
RE: vAA and the Mage. We actually changed the Mage's Chain Lightning in Update 19 to no longer target pets. It was an oversight that we did not include a note
One thing to keep in mind also, pets can not use Taunts in the content in which they are immune so, the dream of having pets tank for you is not possible.
As always, please feel free to send in bug reports for situations (like vAA) where a pet is affected by an ability that would adversely affect the group with little counter-play and we will evaluate those reports.
Thanks!

What about mechanics in other trials, such as storm the heavens in vAS?

As far as I'm aware, the storm atro still spreads the chain lightning, even post-Update 19. The scamp doesn't (yay!), but Bruce the Lightning Rock still seems to.

The soft-taunt was removed from the Clannfear in Summerset, over a year ago. Halls of Fabrication was being tested, and the feature was removed without explanation during that time. If there has been a stated reason for why that happened, I missed it.

But Summerset is a mere 4 months old.

Goodbye solo PvE PetSorc, you were fun to play while it lasted ...

They are only immune to damage in Group Dungeons, Trials, and Group Arenas.
Therefore they will still draw aggro in vMA, World Bosses, overland PvE, etc. They're not totally immune to ALL damage, only in the specified venues.

- Long lasting roots are really bad for pets who can not free them self
- Also maybe exclude the pets from getting a "reflect" when damaging the last boss in this repair phase/shield phase in the middle. Kinda doable to control them to not do it but especial new players often forget it and the pet automatically goes to the main boss wiping the whole grp unless the raid leader yells "control your f***** pets".Some console player said they do not have the option to recall pets.(Dunno if it is true )
