So is the only way to repair vitality with a vita pack? I ran a planet wide search on Tatoo the other day and couldn't find a single one? So eventually the pet just wears out and needs replacement when the stats start to be hit? Haven't found anyone that could or would explain this a little better. Hope someone can help.

Also does the Use Vitapak menu selection on the circle menu just cause the creature to consume the pak or does it have another funtions also. Have heard different things about that. My pet also doesn't seem to want to regen red and green in the data pad. This is normal or bugged?? Thanks in advance for advice.

What are the effects of Vitality. All my pets are 92/100, but i don't seem to see any difference. Can someone explain Vitality for me?

vitality is the overall condition of the pet. same system as weapons with their condition. so like weapons pets can wear out. vitality can be repaired but when it is you will lose a little bit of the max vitality.. u lose stats at 25% increments. so u dont see anything till u hit 75%, 50%, 25% vitality.

Thank-you.

I respeced my Rifle/Ranger to CH/Ranger, tamed some pets and my char was "on idle". (Its an alt on a different server)

Last week I could start to "test" my template. (I cant respec anymore, so I will keep it. I think its nice, except all the bugs and nerfes lol)

I always had a lvl10 BE-Pet with me, so I have some pre-CU health- and vitality-stims.

I wanted to try the vitality stim on my pet that incaped several times (only 96/100 but I wanted to test it)

Now my pet is at 99/99 vitality? Is that right? A lot of CH's "complained" that pets would never die, u could use them over and over again without any fear to lose them. But if this is right any pet can become useless as soon as it reaches a certain vitality level. OK, this could take some time but anyways...

Is there a way to get 100/100 again?

Is this a bug with my pre-CU stims?

Or is this intended to give pets a "decay" like weapons?

This is one of the few things that is actually "working as intended" (for real working as intended). For every 25% out of 100 points of vitality a pet loses it takes a 25% reduction in stats. IE a pet with a vitality of 75/100 would take a 75% reduction in stats, a pet witha vitality of 74/74 would take the same 25% reduction in stats, a pet with 50/60 vitality would take a 50% reduction, and a pet with 25/90 would take a 75% reduction in stats. Your pet will never truely die but it will become more or less useless after a certain point. I suggest you wait untill your pet reaches 76 vitality before using any packs (and when you do use vit packs use the strongest ones possible) this will return your pet to 99/99 vitality and will prolong the use of your pets.

This is to keep pets on par with other item decay rules and its on the issue/request list to have ADKs apply to pets to make them immune to vitality loss.

Use incap recovery command ifyour pet does get incapped -right click on it to bring up radial (while it's incapped). Personally, I've found that this keeps my pet from losing vitality, though I read a post where someone said it didn't work well for them. However, it's worked every time for me (and I've had occasion to use it A LOT) except once, and I'm guessing that was because I wasn't able to revive my pet in a timely fashion.

Vitality shold be done away with pets are usless as of now anyway.. at least perserve our companions. I get heartbroken everytime one of my pets lose vitality. THE THING THAT PISSES ME OFF THE MOST IS THE DAMN CU!! EVER SINCE MY PETS LOSE VITLAITY WAAAAAY TO MUCH CAUSE THEY INCAP WAY TO FAST NOW I AM SICK OF THAT. MY GPS WENT FROM 98 PRE CU TO FRIGEEN 90 RIGHT NOW. THE WORST PART IS he and my other 50- elites are my only useful pets... so i am forced to use them. TAKE IT AWAY!!!!!
