View Full Version : Game Mechanics: Enchanters should not have /pet feign

Enchanters using Charm can do /pet feign in P99.

It's a little buggy, sometimes only working when you do it twice in a hotkey or /pet sit down first, but that's not the point.

The point is that the /pet feign command was initially added by the Planes of Power release as a Necromancer exclusive AA ability (http://everquest.allakhazam.com/wiki/eq:Feigned_Minion). Enchanters shouldn't have it at all.

Realize that it is difficult to find proof of a non-feature. Consider that a Google search of eq "pet feign" enchanter charm (https://www.google.com/search?espv=2&q=eq+%22pet+feign%22+enchanter+charm) has 67 results with only Loraen's Enchanter Guide (http://wiki.project1999.com/Loraen's_Enchanter_Guide) on our own P99 wiki saying that enchanters have it. All live resources only talk about the Necro (and much later SK) AA, with not a peep about enchanters.

Please let me know if I need to provide additional proof, and what that might be.

I dont think any pet class should have it on P99, as it was implemented much later

I suspect this is already fixed (pet feign is ignored by the server) but the client insists on making the pet fall down.

Every pet class has the command and that's wrong. It doesn't actually ever cause aggro loss/mem blur on your pet. However it does show a death animation for that pet.

Which is extremely useful to separate a charmed pet from a mob that needs to be mezzed/targeted. Because of this, it should be removed because it makes things easier than classic.

I've been a big fan of removing this for some time!
