I'd like to start out by saying "Astolfo" is the funniest name for anything ever. I would totally become a modern day viking if axes named "Astolfo" existed in real life.

However, I instead of my pet get it in the neck every time and although I keep Holy Waters on me my pet seems to ko, is Apoc Ray a dual-hit ability or is something else happening ? I use GG, all Ferine +1, 2 X Pet-pdt Astolfo's [] or 2 x Pet Mag Def axes, DG, Apoc & V atma, Twilight Torque, Anguinus belt & Ferine Mantle.
I'm open to suggestions as to any changes I could make !
My apologies if I'm not understanding the issue correctly, but maybe this will help:

Apocalyptic Ray is conal. Imagine the area that would be covered if Khalkotaur drunkenly puked up two liters of Buckfast Tonic Wine; that is roughly the shape of Apocalyptic Ray's area of effect. As long as you stand on Khalkotaur's tail, Apocalyptic Ray shouldn't be able to hit you and your pet at the same time.
