With dungeons getting some updates for Duty Support, I still go back periodically to check in with my Squadron as well. Running Sohm Al and The Vault, it seems like the changes now mean that squadron members can finally be targeted by AoEs and mechanics.

Unlike Duty Support NPCs, previously, squad members would be completely ignored by all mechanics. Every stack marker was put on the player, every attack that hit everyone in an AoE would only ever target the player, the chain mechanic at the end of The Vault just outright wouldn't work.

I'm not quite motivated to go back through ARR squad dungeons again to check on those. But, a curious change. Could they be quietly tweaking squadrons to make them more like Duty Support to expand their use?

(lol no, why would they do that)
