The Hidden Forest

Be careful with swarm pets, the current ones in game barely last seconds on raid mobs due once again to the rampage and ae mechanic.

I'm trying to organize the posts so we have specific to pet and specific to caster as suggested .

Problem: Due to the raid mechanic of rampage on the server, pets are mostly a 1 hit wonder on serious raid targets.

Most of us are now raiding with 2 or 3 people boxing anywhere from 3 to 6 characters. In the later tiers dedicating a healer to a pet is definitely not an option. We ha...
