NPC Pets and DS
 

This is a weird one and I can provide logs once I get home. But I hope it's something not too tedious to fix:

When a mob and it's pet are alive, and you have a damage shield on. ONLY the mob will take hits from that damage shield. It is not until the master dies for the pet to start taking damage shield hits.

Example:

Mob hits for 5
Takes DS hit for 20
Mob pet hits for 10
Mob hits for 5
Takes DS hit for 20
Mob is SLAIN
Mob pet hits for 10
Takes DS hit for 20

Is this an npc's pet hitting you? Just to clarify. Likely a message issue, as the messaging for pets and owners is kind of wacky.

The damage is handled seperate from messages for pet and non-melee damage.

Are others around? See if they see damage messages, specifically the burned type. Thats from the damage packet.

The pets are connecting with their hit and the damage shield certainly isn't reflecting back at them.

As evidence by the fact that they are 100% HP until their master dies at which point their HP starts dropping given I am killing them via DS exclusively.

Bummer. Wonder why. Will investigate.

Found the issue. Just need to test a fix.

Nice. Thanks for looking into it!
