[FIXED] swarm pets

[Brontu]

just to be clear, the problem is usually pets from items/spell procs with BST being the main offender.

necros are pretty bad too hehe, didnt have one until recently - and while i can target through it pretty efficiently, making them non-targetable would be amazing!

[diaylomz]

yeah if u can make em non targetable that is perfectly fine with me.

[Myrixo]

Lol what is with these Necro's and Bst's getting the spotlight about swarms? Wbout mages? Oh yeah, because theyre swarm is so weak they never use it

[Thenrin]

Hey, I left class out of it What with weapons and other items, almost all classes can have this issue

[Obvious]

the term "swarm pets" was used but as an activated AA, it rarely causes problems. This and similar weapon procs are what most people are having problems with:

call of the beastmaster: webtools/spell.php?id=9032

I never meant to single out a particular class in this discussion, but it isnt fair to BST to ask them not to use their class abilities on raids.

[Thenrin]

No slight at you, Obvious, and again, you hit on a truth :

...it isnt fair to BST to ask them not to use their class abilities on raids.

Which is something that does happen, along with people being asked to put away a weapon.

There is a BIG issue with making swarm pest untargetable... (at least via usage of npc flag)

I approach a raid mob and cast my swarm pet - just one is enough.
now /afk and wait till it kills it
why? cause mob cannot hit the pet, but pet still gaining agro - so mob just stands there looking like an idiot and continue to take damage
I will be able to solo ENTIRE raid content of the server with a single swarm pet

BTW pretty sure official Emu code has recently been update to fix to this, that F8 doesn't target swarm pets

[Firenze]

rampage will kill swarm pet , eiter targeted or not

[ChaosSlayer]

most likely not

[diaylomz]

well why not just make it one cat that hits as hard as all of the swarm pets combined? would need increased hp too i am guessing. i dunno about f8 targeting. problem for me is i cycle through targets.
