Thread: Extra Healing aggro from the CH change?
I was reading the Creature Handling changes at http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Developers&message.id=7098#M7098 and came across this.
Here is what we're going to do to address that: NPCs and creatures will get just a tiny bit smarter, and will realize that when you send a pet to attack them, _you_ are attacking them. This doesn't mean that they will instantly and always ignore your pet and head straight for you, but they won't just completely ignore you, either. And if they kill your pet, they'll definitely be attacking you next.
Also, if you heal a pet that is fighting something else, that other creature will "see" it and might choose to respond to that action by attacking you. Probably not a very big chance of that happening, but they won't just completely ignore you as they do now
My concern is, will this affect healing of Player Characters as well as their pets? Am I going to get the full attention of every single mob when I toss an AE heal that lands on Players AND their pets?If this is true,pray thetank doesnt die, because if he does,the medics will likely be next in line to go.
If this change is on test center, can anyone check into this, especially on the higher level encounters?
