No what they say is ENTIRELY incorrect. A pet has the ability to break mez. It can hit a mob after its been mezzed, thereby removing the mez.

That means it DOES have the ability break mez.

Saying that they can't is ENTIRELY FALSE. Just because you can't send them on it, while they are already mezzed, does not mean they CANNOT break mez.

When you are a bard, triple mezzing. If you get ONE resist, it fucks your entire rotation and you are going to take a hit. DONT SEND YOUR PET ON IT IN THAT TWO SECONDS IT TAKES TO REMEZ THE TARGET.

Don't mez a target that has a pet on it before bitching out the pet class. bitch the pet class, get pet backed, then mez.

[Nineran]

Target is mezzed. Mez breaks. Pet is sent. Mez reapplied. Pet then repeatedly breaks the mez as it is repeatedly reapplied as the bard desperately tries to stay alive.

I will immediately bitch out the Pet class for sending the pet, when the TANK has not attacked the mob yet.

If there is a pet on it and the pet has threat, FINE! No need to mez it. Can mez it if the pet dies. But thats not a scenario I am worried about.

[Nineran]

Everyone is coming up with these half assed rationalizations that don't deal with the actually scenario. There is only one fix, and its simple.

DON'T SEND YOUR PET, UNTIL THE TANK BREAKS MEZ.

Its as simple as that. If mez falls off, the tank has NOT broken mez, so don't send your pet. DO NOT send your pet until mez is DELIBERATELY BROKEN by the tank. Be it the bard, or whatever other tank you are using.

[Autotune]

You're retarded bro. Pets Don't Break Mez.

You must be high.

Pets not breaking mez did not come out until sometime after Luclin was released.

Working as intended.

Enjoy.

I always feel bad criticizing my other group members, especially now that my main's level 50, because everyone thinks they're pro at this level. But the fact is, some people will just never learn how to assist, call their pet off, use messages that say "x is mezzed" or "y is charmed" or "assist me on z". Some people will also never read these messages. It amazes me that I go through the effort of making macros like "/stopsong /cast 8 /g ~mezzing %t !!~~" and people will still attack the mezzed mob, when it has a different name than the not-mezzed mob. Now, don't get me wrong - I think that Bards should work around their group just as much as groups should work around the Bard. If the Bard makes an extremely poor CC decision, it's okay to attack the mezzed mob, and I won't care and I will apologize if I'm the idiot Bard in that scenario. It happens more than I'd prefer that the automated messages cause more confusion than they take away, but what can you do.

Back on the topic: apparently /pet back wipes the pet's aggro list, but a mage I was grouped with in Royals once said otherwise. Was he just an idiot?

He was just an idiot. /pet back off wipes the pet's aggro list.
