If beastlords can agree on one thing, it's "Beastlords don't need more ways to heal their warders.

Std. Pet Heal line, Delayed Pet Heal line, Pet HoT, Growl line HoT component, Pet Quick Heal AA, Pet HoT AA, BP clicky has HoT component. Paragon/FPoS if we still need more. Oh and a healer merc, if applicable (Most mercs seem to belong to PETA, since they place buffing/healing warder at a higher priority than the person who actually PAYS them, but that's for a different topic...).

Now we have yet another method to heal our warders, by giving them a limited charge, random self heal proc. It's not just redundant, it's REDUNDANTLY redundant. On top of all that, you need to keep it memorized to use, since it needs to be refreshed constantly because of charges and it has a built in conflict with Hobble of Spirit and Pet slow proc line.
Personally, I'd use hobble and keep a promised heal in that spell slot. No charges to worry about and a better heal that takes next to no time to use.

The current friendly pet "fix" has really done nothing except waste resources and time that could have been put to MUCH BETTER USE, since there are many other beastlord issues that need some TLC that are much more important than getting another pet heal that will never be used by 99%+ of us.

I hope this spell will not start to suffer from "taste of blood" syndrome.

wow thanks for the BIG FU from sony...

Has anyone actually tried this to see how it works or what it does?

I tried it out on a raid last night and was getting the worn of message about every 15 mins yet my pet was not tanking at any stage.

Could AoE spells actually be triggering the contact heal?

As far as I could tell it's a straight up offensive proc now.  Pet will proc it as long as it's attacking (and heal itself only).

Thanks Karth,

Yeah I just did a test copy and gave it a run. It procs from its own hits and heals itself only. I would have preferred it stayed broken and healed itself when it was getting hit.

there"fiix" is an epic fail. make it a group heal over pet only if anything. hell necro's get a 10k Crit group heal off Spells being casted lasts 2 min with a  4 min cool down giveing us a what 3k base pet procing group heal is not bad. as we gota recast it.  i would lvoe to see this it would help with Ae's

I wouldn't mind seeing an extended buff (Like haste or Vaxtn) that was cast on the pet that would proc a group heal for 350-500'ish.  I could see that being useful, especially if our heal aa's worked on them.

Other than that?  I hate the entire line of another pet heal.  Especially one that's random and conditional and has stacking issues.  Nix the whole thing and give us our Ferocity Aura.

I don't think we will be seeing anything remotely useful until next expansion. Just take it as another shaft and move on. If/When it will get fixed is anyones guess and...well currently their track record isn't very good. Actually seems to be getting worse. So...yeah...lets just move on.

I don't know about that. Heard a rumour that bsts will be happy "soon enough", but my source didn't reveal what was it about. Maybe we are getting some goodies when next patch of AAs coming live. One can only hope...
