[FIXED] Fading buff kills pet

[Tristhan]

Hiya,

Anyone have the same experience:
fading or manuel removed buffs (like Familiar of Power, Ro's Greater Familiar, Familar: Minion of Chaos ...) instant kills every pet (summoned pets from necro/mage, summoned pet from Donation BPs, Draekonpets ...).

Per example:

Necro use Band of Eternal Chaos - selfbuffs Familiar: Minion of chaos 6 min duration, summon pet form Donation BP Drinaz, the Final Reaper,
after 6 min the buff minion of chaos fades and kills the summoned pet from Donation BP Drinaz, the Final Reaper.

Wizard cast donation weapon Turyn, The Dawn Breaker and selfbuffs Familiar of Power, removes pet, summon pet from Draekon Statue, as soon as the buff Familiar of Power fades the draekonpet get killed.

Using UF-client, it happens with/without MQ2.
Anyone else have the same problem ?
Is that a bug or intent to be that way ?

Thank you.

Thank you so much for figuring this out!

I can confirm that a fading familiar (with a corresponding buff) despawns real pets when the buff fades. I tested it with webtools/spell.php?id=8819

I have noticed necro pets mysteriously disappearing, and I think there is a related issue afoot. I never use familiars on my necros, but I do use swarm pets. While I haven't been able to reproduce the main pet despawn with swarm pets, there could be a despawn triggered by a swarm pet's debuff fading. Possibly from webtools/spell.php?id=9637 ? Just a theory.

And Chrom, I tested that familiar buff from The Chaos, some time ago, and it only affects melee attacks. There's zero reason, as far as I can tell, to use it on a caster unless you're using melee attacks. Hopefully that makes you feel better about not using the buff (and saving your pets from doom!).

Indeed the buff from chaos wont help my casters, but alone the class wizards have two "must have up" buffs (Familiar of Power and AA Ro's Greater FAmilar) that kills any pet (like draekonpet for more dps) when fading.

Can be hell for every class mainly use pets

btw, the buff from Art of the Murkglider wont kill any pet when fading ... tho the Art of the Murkglider pet get killed if any of the above named buffs fade.

It seems nearly every buff that summon a pet when casted, bring up that effect.
