Pets

Pets are an essential part of the game that serve many different functions, from getting the enemy's attention and taking damage for you to a minor attacking/healing or buffing role, or hardheartedly to be used as bait to evade attention from some of the fierce monsters you may encounter. In most circumstances, pets play a role in acquiring many of the abilities that you would normally not have as any of the classes. However may be the case, they are still a part of you and can serve in the most unsuited environments.

However, there are certain restrictions placed on pets, ideally because you don't want them to interfere with the duty of a tank.

Notes

• Pets can still use their skills and attack as normal while your character is frozen, stunned, terrified or sleeping. This has been debated, ultimately leading to the conclusion of allowing the actions of pets to be done without their owner to command them. In such cases, a pet with Dispel Magic can unfreeze their owner or wake up their owner with Cure Poison.

• Pets do not count as another member of the group when calculating a boss's pool of health. This has been greatly misinterpreted, and causes a fear of bringing pets to aid in boss fights.
