Necro pet bug?

[Innova]

I currently have two wraiths. When the tank wraith get's low in hps, he will try to heal himself. However, he must be doing a "cast 'heal undead' wraith" because he never actually heals the correct mob (the tank is always 2.wraith).

Why wouldn't he do a "cast 'heal undead' self"?

I believe pets can't heal themselves anymore, at least as far as I can tell.

If pets are not supposed to be able to heal themselves now, which I assume is the case, then their AI should be tweaked so they don't try to heal themselves on their own anymore.

yea they can heal others pets though, and i faintly remeber something about not being able to heal liches.

The heal msg doesn't echo to room when they self-cast. (oa c 'heal un' me) But, it still heals them.

Rep them, heal, rep them again -

There is some variance in heal amount when cast on pets. used to be the consistent 90, but varies now from like 40-90.


And yes, pets cannot heal a lich.


*edit*
lest I be surprised by a recent change and look stupid, just tested w/ a shadow.
Healed normally (80hp), tho without the echo as usual.

[Innova]

That would make sense (that they message just isn't echo'd to the room). I just thought it wasn't working, and never verified it.

[Nekelet]

On a hunch, just tried 'self' keyword as well. Works as expected.

I always use 'me' when I want pets to self-reference.
