Pets not breaking mez did not come out until sometime after Luclin was released.

Working as intended.

Enjoy.

Everyone is coming up with these half assed rationalizations that don't deal with the actually scenario. There is only one fix, and its simple.

DON'T SEND YOUR PET, UNTIL THE TANK BREAKS MEZ.

Its as simple as that. If mez falls off, the tank has NOT broken mez, so don't send your pet. DO NOT send your pet until mez is DELIBERATELY BROKEN by the tank. Be it the bard, or whatever other tank you are using.

No shit.

OP, don't be discouraged by these dickless monkeysticks. Your post is the first legitimate rant we've seen here in weeks. I salute you!!!

Hey man its pretty tough being a mage first theres the /pet attack and then you gotta follow that up with nuking now and then and damage shields and oh man it's a busy life. Can't really expect a mage to occasionally do a /pet back now and then, can ya?

[yaaaflow]

like for real, us mages are busy watchin porn on our 2nd monitor or surfing facebook or what not, we're only wasting time grouping so we can go on cruise control. Can't you just mez a little better - maybe you could get to tank to switch targets and then mez the stuff my pet isn't fighting instead.

food for thought anyway

I always feel bad criticizing my other group members, especially now that my main's level 50, because everyone thinks they're pro at this level. But the fact is, some people will just never learn how to assist, call their pet off, use messages that say "x is mezzed" or "y is charmed" or "assist me on z". Some people will also never read these messages. It amazes me that I go through the effort of making macros like "/stopsong /cast 8 /g ~mezzing %t !!~~" and people will still attack the mezzed mob, when it has a different name than the not-mezzed mob. Now, don't get me wrong - I think that Bards should work around their group just as much as groups should work around the Bard. If the Bard makes an extremely poor CC decision, it's okay to attack the mezzed mob, and I won't care and I will apologize if I'm the idiot Bard in that scenario. It happens more than I'd prefer that the automated messages cause more confusion than they take away, but what can you do.

Back on the topic: apparently /pet back wipes the pet's aggro list, but a mage I was grouped with in Royals once said otherwise. Was he just an idiot?

He was just an idiot. /pet back off wipes the pet's aggro list.
