Anyone other SMNs running into "Pet Damage Doesn't Count"

[NeoAmon]

eh? As a BLM I always add up my pet damage to my own. Don't worry m8 Garuda is no less than my Bard, you should add her up to your damage ^^.

Lol Neo. I see what you did there.

Haha, I saw a thread when 2.1 came out titled "Bard is now caster pet". I could not help myself, best pet ever. All kind of songs with a very good AI (most of the times lel).

The only other way I could imagine why someone would think that, is that pets can be put on autopilot.
Which of course the next response would be "Then auto attacks dont count for physical DPS, since its being done automatically by the game."

[*]They tell me "Pet Damage Doesn't Count"

I have run into this issue in every MMORPG I have played when pet classes are involved.

I've never run into this before. My immediate response would be: "are you a complete ****ing moron?"

LOL i love this response. People are too stupid to do simple math and add two numbers together. Like stated multiple times, anyone who thinks that a pet class' pet damage doesn't count, is just an imbecile. The pet wouldnt be there if you weren't. and you would be RIDICULOUSLY op if you pulled the same numbers that a geared group was doing, and THEN added in your pet.

Not to mention in every other MMO (ie. WoW, Rift, Aion, etc.) you don't see people saying "your pet doesn't count".

As a BLM, I count my pet tank into my dps mix. The only issue is BLM pet upkeep can be such a headache sometimes.

Some people are very stupid. Anytime a pug tells me my dps is slow I tend to ask "and what about Garuda+me?" At which point my damage goes from being just above the bards to above everyone else's. Even if the parsers are inaccurate if it helps other people stop asking stupid questions I'm fine with it.

Are parsers even tracking dot crits properly now? I know they still don't track shadowflare at all, but it'd be nice if they at least tracked our actual dot damage not the projected damage that I believe they used to show.

On topic, I've never had anyone tell me that, so my condolences. Not much you can do there besides accept the fact that some people are stupid and carry on.

They don't track Contagion, DoT crits or Shadow Flare. They also only estimate non-crit DoT damage, so it may be close, but it will never be truly accurate.
