I'd like for pets to simply not have faction. Problem solved.

Then you lose the issue of the pet roaming off and getting aggro....I like that. Better yet to make them just eat 90% of the XP if folks are going to roll this way.

Isn't that usually due to bad pathing? Almost everytime my pet aggro's something he shouldn't, it because he's jumping through a wall or went some weird way he wasn't supposed to go.

Also, if the pet gets 90% of the exp for the owner not damaging a mob, where does that leave us when we simply chain cast pets (which does require skill) or are fighting a resistant mob so we choose to play healer on pet while he does 100% of the damage?

With pet heals being in the game (and how efficient they make soloing), do you really need to xp on something you'd need to chain cast pets on?

Also, I think it's 75%. The best reference I've found for this: http://www.xalmat.com/eqsummoners.co...s-library.html

Yes. At level 49 my pet heal is less than 200 hps. It's not as efficient as you're implying. Summoning a new pet is 200 mana.

Ah, I didn't realize that the 44 pet heal wasn't added until PoP.
