The Hidden Forest

A month ago, my pally bot was using Vulak's 2H-axe which procs the rogue epic swarm pets. This always caused issues with targetting (tabbing), and I basically stopped using it (esp. during raids where people would complain about it lol).

I rarely lurk on eqemu & other server forums, but I found something interesting from "Titan" server yesterday:
"Charm/Swarm Fix, Charmed Pets and Swarm Pets are now treated as pets, not NPCs. They will not be in the auto-target cycle"

Is it possible if the same fix be implemented on THF?

I got no plans on using the axe again on my bot (since he got a PoAir lance), but just concerned about other players having the same issue, it can be a PITA. I've always liked epic swarm pet procs, they are way cool!

I checked the Database and Swarmpets are flagged as Pets already. Maybe there is another flag somewhere, dunno.

chances are this is already part of the code, given recent updates

That's good news! WTB brain of CT.

Can someone verify this as working please?

I'm fairly certain that they're still being treated as an NPC when switching through targets. I'll test today and confirm though and post with the results.

I just tested my mage swarm pets using my aa Host of the Elements. I can confirm they DO get targeted when using Target Nearest NPC and when cycling through NPC targets.
