Summoner Pets Unresponsive again?

After the last patch, I went into T6/7 last night and I'm jamming Contagion over and over but it takes a while for Garuda to finally cast it. Also I had to jam enkindle a few times before Garuda decided to get off her lazy ass and finish off Rafflesia :mad:

Has anyone else had any pet issues since the last patch or is it just me??

I haven't been doing anything but Frontlines since patch and it's hard to stay focused on pet cuz it's very chaotic in there, but I haven't noticed anything out of the norm.

I don't think this issue will ever truly be fixed about garuda. It started after they decided to give garuda that insta-cast spell. I still have issues where I have to spam press the contagion button and I even made several macros for it and it still does not go off when I want. I even had her in the steady mode and she still takes her pretty time doing what I tell her to do. Her enkindle skill does not go off when I tell her to do it in most instances. So because of these issues I have no clue as to what will be done about this. I do hope that something is done to fix this issue as it is really annoying and now garuda has become so disobedient.

I was noticing the same thing with eos whispering dawn wasn't going off again and I had to spam the button. I gave up on garuda and contagion so I'm just trying to find a place for ifrit now he's more responsive :)

She a bad gurl.

lol yes she is. But thankfully I still have ifrit :)

It's really annoying to use ifrit in Turn 7 though (he'll just take cleaves to the face) so I prefer to just use Garuda.
They fixed the responsiveness in one of the patches last week but with the patch this week the bug came back :|

I didn't have any issues with Garuda during T6-T9 last night. Maybe I'm just lucky and she likes me.

No problems here since patch. I'd say Garuda is now the most responsive I've seen her.

Hmm maybe my client was lagging then. I'll try again tonight and see what happens, thank you everyone for your input.

Personally haven't use contagion in frontline cause people tend to die quickly. But in other content she did response late, I guess it's may be due to her GCD, still she will did it, so, what should we do in the delay? What I do is when B2MB were up I would hit contagion (considered mobs were not gonna die to quick), run into the mob hit MiasmaII and start spamming Blizzard II then when contagion hit, I wound bane them. Normally it will hit right after MiasmaII hit. I find if the mobs die quick it not worth contagion only Shadow flare-B2MB-bane-spam blizzardII would be enough.

They have been fine for me, actually more responsive then normal

Although Contagion is going off the DoTs seem to take a while to update. I've had them appear to run out for a second before reappearing with the updated timer. At least Contagion is responsive enough I'm comfortable resetting the dots with 3-4 seconds left. So that's a plus

Garuda puts abilities in a que if she is casting wind blade.

I've had a Contagion issue here and there where it took a minute to update the DoTs timer and/or didn't go off when I wented it to. But it's not as often as her not listening and heeling when I tell her. It's very frustrating when you try and soak a fireball and Garuda isn't there to help all of a sudden...

This so much. The dots take time to appear and update I have noticed this lately. I thought it was my client lagging as I tried it out in several fights. Maybe its just me having all of these problems because not I have to wait a few seconds for the bio dot to appear after I cast it after casting Bio 2/Miasma 1. Its even happening when I run in and cast miasma 2, I have to wait a few seconds for it to register that I have just used Miasma 2 and enemy now has been infected with this status effect.
