Tested this myself on 6 Ks99 Runs for Behemoth, Used new Slug on 3 and Sheep on 3 x2 of each pet without Run wild and 1 of each pet was with run wild : the 2 Sheep and 2 slugs without Run wild Did die even with using reward. the 1 sheep and 1 slug that I used run wild Did not die and Each of those 2 fights were 2-3 min faster than without. So in my opinion I think Run wild has its place and time and for better or worse I like it very much.
