    Pets are all bugged!

    Hello, its very hard to heal as a scholar without the Pet and the pet takes almost all the AOE's that are targeted in a zone cause she takes so much time to move.

    In most aoes its ok because she doesn't even take a lot of damage because its a pet and because of that, thankfully, it takes only a percentage of the direct AOE damage, but in some bosses 2 aoes of those kill her, because they're made to oneshot everyone even with best gear.

    And there are cases that are even worse like in The Aurum Vale the first boss puts a stacking debuff on the entire room that you have to get out clicking on fruits on the ground, well the pet isn't a player and can't remove them so she dies all the time and it gets near impossible to a scholar to heal that boss afterwards, at least with our current gear, but that's not fair.

    Pets need fixing!

    Agree that scholar pets die too quickly during the only times when they're actually needed.

    Pets shouldn't be targetable by aoe or have massive aoe reduction like every other mmo.

    It's for the children.

    I feel like it is only a small portion of content where this is a large issue. It it vey easy to just have the pet follow you out of danger and I for one don't want the game to be dumbed down in anyway. Yes fights that involve interaction could be tweaked but we just need more time playing with our pets to learn how to effectively micro them.

    Would like to see how you feel after fighting demon wall as a scholar.

    that's actually another point, pet control is very bad , i'm mostly spamming the heal but i notice that when im on GCD, the commands do nothing.

    They do. Eos took the whole of 1000 needles, no buffs, took 200 damage.
    Learn to use sustain and Place.

    As i said in mainpost, they do, there's just bosses that do AOE damage that does so much damage that even the pets die in 2 attacks, that sometimes happen in a row.

    And they only move like 2s after you move, like the lag isn't enough.

    and really, do Aurum Vale and then u understand.

    Every other MMO? Almost no MMO has this. It already has more AoE reduction than most MMOs.
    Anyways, yeah, I've noticed the issue of pets in a lot of dungeons I ran with scholars despite this, the fact that moving them out of AoEs seems difficult. Seems like there should be some kind of command to quickly bring them to you (with no GCD of ANY sort) so they can dodge with you.
