Wiping Pet Aggro

[Quezquotyl]

Okay, so I had a shitty pull in Tactics, two mobs I can handle, but an extra three plus my two from the group across the way's wipe isn't Kosher in the least. I think I got to mob 4.2 before I was OOM and had to go to the bathroom really bad. So anyways, I FD and Ztik feigns. This is the pat where I got to go to the restroom, have a smoke, etc....

So I come back to the keyboard and I get the "Your enemies have forgotten you" text, so I get up. I haste my pet while he is still FD, then click on follow, and two mobs come around the corner, I assume from Ztik smacking one, and the other chain aggro so I hit my Pet FD hotkey and they stop and walk away. ???? Okay pet get up. In come the mobs. Pet feign. Mobs go away. ???!!!!!!???? Okay pet get up , snare, snare, dot, etc, kill. In the process I never got to answer a question I had pondered just before that.

If my pet has an aggro timer and I make him FD after me, would it be easier to Suspend him to wipe aggro than click the pet feign hotkey over and ove again?

Cheers,
Quez

Doesn't pet FD have like a 1/6 chance to work or seomthing like that? Also I would think it follows the same rules as a reg fd would have to wait for mobs to fully reset before pet could stand back up. Not really sure as I am reluctant to buy aa that saves me 10pp when I kill my pet thats what my gaunts of dark summoning are for=).

Your opinion is noted. But um, 1/6 is a far cry from what the real chances off success are for Pet Feign 3, its like 3/4 of the time. So really, you haven't answered my question. :P

I read somewhere that Pet FD is pretty hit or miss. But you can suspend your formally FD'd pet and unsuspend it. Then aggro will be cleared. And you can keep your buffed pet. :)

well its kind of yes and no on this one. the pet does NOT get "your enemies have forgotten you message" however there is a way for them to lose aggro every time. You might have noticed that when a mob goes back to his spawn he forgets you, 100% of the time. Thats because sony changed the rules from "50% of losing aggro when you stand up 35+" to "0% chance of losing aggro if he hasn't lost interest or resetted, 100% otherwise". However they forgot to do this for pets too... however the way the reset thing works is that it clears the ENTIRE aggro menu from that particular monster, including your pet's, so basically if you want your pet to lose aggro he has to be a static spawn and he has to reset, regardless of the 2 min thing or not.

Thanks for the info. :D

just a note... you can't suspend a pet that is on a mobs hate list... hehe you get some message saying that not in so many words hehe. believe me I have tried :)

[Captain_Crunch]

"your pet is the object of someone else's attention" you can't really expect it to, you could just wisk a pet away at the point of death and fd. Thats what pet fd is for, THEN you can suspend him.

Crunch has it nailed.

Pet Feign.
Pet Suspend
Pet unsuspend

Aggro cleared.

That is the one true way and a necro trick only.
