Pets continued attack - Guild Wars Forums

CHEF1187 · Jul 14, 2009, 12:28 AM // 00:28

Where: just outside of Boreal Station
What: Snow Worms

when attacking the Snow Worms, and they go back underground, my pet continues in attack mode where the worm was.

is he still doing damage?

the reason I'm wondering is he does not auto regen his health like he would if
he had broken off the attack. he incurs no further damage.

thanks

The attack is maintained, I believe. You will see this same behavior in minions and spirits too.

Yes, The attacks count. Your attacks can still count to. Dunno about warrior/Sin attacks but a wand wielder can keep wanding the worm to.

Not sure about minions, but I know that spirits & pets attack hidden foes (incubii in the ceiling, wurms in the ground, etc..)

it's likely a bug, as ANY form of "physical" damage (players, spirits, minions, pets, ect) can continue to attack "hidden" foes... I know I've done it several times, but not ALL the time. Not sure why it works some times and not others.

I've noticed this many times, particularly in Frostmaw's, but I don't recall whether or not they did damage. At any rate, next time it happens, look to see if any damage numbers (even if 0) are coming up (if it's your pet/minion/etc.)
