Well blah blah blah.

Making easier for enchanters motivates me none.

Best i can go by is eqlive to determine how far you see pet hits and pet ds messages. If i am already taking a look at melee messages, i can look at range of ds messages.

I want to play with a few things on live tonight, and might bring out a fire pet to smoke some mobs for fun.

Hello, did you ever get a chance to do this? As of now I have to be within 5 feet or so of the mob to see my pets damage messages. It also seems off because I will send my pet into fight when I am far away and of course see no damage notifications, but when I get up close, I still wont see anything literally right on top of the mob. If I send my pet in while Im right next to it to begin with then I see the messages until I move, away, but then wont see the messages if I move back in. Today I had a mob catch up to me and was literally beating on me with my pet right behind him and I still couldn't see any damage messages, because I had sent him in initially while the mob was like 50ft away. Any insight you could give would be appreciated! Thanks!
