Look at when we're having connection issues, the animation of the skills, even cast times, still play but the damage does not register.

Also to make it more responsive, pet movement should be faster than the players, even when we're under Sprint.

This change can also be done with SCH... and get rid of Seraph (Yes, I literally hate it but I'm forced to deal with the jank).
I don't know exactly how the code works for XIV but I have a feeling this is not a feasible solution, otherwise they would have done it for Searing Light instead of just having the summoner cast it, it also would have worked before the change when SMN still had pets to command and they never implemented such a change.
