Thread: NO Pet decay in PVP upon incap?!
*gasp*
I can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier! If this is true....
I made a post earlier stating that pet decay is the only thing keeping me from joining the GCW.
Like the poster above stated- "The screecher airforce launches!" lol
This would make me so happy. I have a gurrek with 60 energy 40 kinetic and 98 heat 
I just don't use him in pvp because of vitality. And I wouldn'tdare use my screecher.

No news on this yet. It seems like the sort of thing that might be part of the Combat Revamp. I'll try to get some sort of answer again.

Well, with that in mind, I'd say that baby variety comes in a very close second, at leastin my opinion. I personally would rather be able to use my pets in PvP without fear of them being ruined beyond repair than have some better pets I would be afraid to use in PvE, let alone PvP (IE, who would use a FG in PvP if they knew it would lose vitality? I'd be afraid to even use it in tough PvE). As for auto-storing... well, I know how much of a pain it is, but if your pet auto-stores in PvP (where I'm guessing many people would use pets if they could), you don't get decay if you die. And that would give even more motivation to use pets in PvP over PvE, because PvP would be significantly more forgiving. Lastly, I really can't give much opinion either way about specials. I personally don't have much of a problem with the current state of affairs there, but apparently plenty of others do. So that's for y'all to decide amongst yourselves. Myself, I'd rather use my not-too-rare pets in PvP than display a Bull Rancor or FG that I'd never be able to use effectively.

I would agree with putting it in the top 5. Baby variety/rarety issuesneed to be in there... Specials always work for me (although knockdown only works on NPCs, not creatures), and I have never had a pet auto-store (this might be because I am melee only but who knows).Anyway I would be happy if this issue was in the top 5 becauseif I am doing anything factional it is Teras Kasi only, my pets stay home.
I discovered the hard way that pets don't even have to be deathblowed in PVP, only incapped, and 2 vitality points are gone. It is not worth it when petsget incappedin 4-5 seconds.
So I guess to answer the question, I would say yes, with baby rarety the only real competitor. But given that I won't use my rares until this is fixed, I think this should be fixed first.
