pet healing

[feanan]

i could be remembering incorrectly, but i thought healing
pets didn't cause any aggro?

was just surprised when a mob almost smooshed me after
healing my pet

[Tseng]

Seems like you answered your own question

[feanan]

not really.

i'm saying i remember healing pets not causing aggro.
healing them causes aggro here.

so, i suppose the question really is...is this broken? or is this classic?

[Skope]

Healing pets has always caused aggro.

Pretty sure healing pets caused no aggro in classic.

So you could take down Naggy with one pet and a couple of clerics?

my google skills suck, but you can find plenty of references where people talk of strats involving CH and pets, because healing pets doesn't cause agro, or faction hits.

just one such reference, for example:

"Healing pets is no aggro whatsoever, nor any faction hit. So a couple pets + healers, is great."

or another:

"Note well: If your cleric only EVER heals your pet your cleric will not gain aggro and will also never gain/lose faction. This is very useful for fighting in places where your necro is KOS but your cleric is not."

from what i have always noticed, healing anything/anyone draws agro ha ha

Yep. was a nifty bug/feature till they fixed it. Cheal on a greater Vocerate Earth pet or Epic pet was pretty fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

That's Sony for you. Don't think they even announced that change just like the day Kunark hit and some bard charmed Cazic Thul (in fear). The very next day it was nerfed.
