I realized that when my mage pet was buffed...none of the buffs showed on the pet window...also wanted to make sure that dispell on pet also works as long as we are on the pet topic...

Classic never let you see your pet's buffs. You only get a message when your buffs on your pet faded.

And they do now ?

Never saw a "Your burnout spell has worn off Kebeker" yet.

Also the same kind of message wasn't classic on player ?

yup there is no message, and why wouldn't they make it so you did see your pets buffs...will it show when pet get rooted/snared? like wtf....and the pelling might become an issue if buffs arent listed...

Pretty sure the pet window wasn't even classic.

Just like the pet life bar, right under YOUR life bar in the characters status window.

No wonder why there's a /pet status command. It just returns the health % of your pet cause there were no way to know it otherwise.

Quite frankly I seem to remember my buffs wearing off a player would leave a message in the combat window. But I played right when Kunark went out so I am not sure this is classic. Can anyone confirm/deny this ? For pets too

No, beneficial 'wear off' messages are not classic.

It's classic, it just didn't have that sidebar for buffs.

Pet window isn't classic (as far as prior to Luclin). That UI element didn't even exist.

Classically, to keep up with your pet stats, you would need to /pet report health, or similar.

This thread and responses like this are the type of shit that should get someone banned from posting in the bugs section.

Pet window is NOT classic. It didn't even exist. ALL pet interactions were typed and/or hotkeyed by yourself, you needed to know the commands.

/pet reporthealth only says his health percentage, not buffs. Is that correct? I can't remember :X

True enough. Memory tricks.

What's it like to have no friends in the world?

Let me know when you come up with an answer to that, Corky.

I'm asking you because I don't know and you're the leading expert.
