Fluffy is a little "Pushy"

[Nanndas]

Do all our pet buffs starting from level 51 "Spirit of Wind" have a push or knock back effect? I find it very irritating. If so I foresee some problems grouping.

I play tag team when I solo. I spawn a Dryad and immediately send in the pet to disrupt their buffing. I cast slow, DoT, Listless and then move up to engage. By this time the pet has the NPC in a tree and when I go around to fight the next thing I know the NPC is knocked past me and I'm constantly moving forward to fight it.

Another time the pet pushed the Dryad up a rock that I couldn't scale. I had to run around the rock to climb up.

Would I be better off using Spirit of Vermin instead of Spirit of Wind ?

Thanks,

Nan

Nope, snow and flame and rellic do not have that same pushback that wind does. They actually have a stun effect to interrupt casters.

Thanks for the reply

I'll go back to Vermin then

Yes, if you are grouped, don't use the wind then. But it's still good for soloing those dryads.  :)

Wind has its moments....knocking things around a lot is an excellent way to interrupt casters. But you have to be on top of where the pet is positioned.

The only pet proc that has any pushback is Spirit of Wind.
