Me and some mates went the other day to do Battler. We were both grouped and in a BG, when Battler died, we received "the Battler" but i didn't get the encounter which i need.. i was there with Recluse, lvl 50 zerker, was hitting him etc.. have anyone else experienced this? or is it just me?

Dont think we had any petclass there...pretty sure it was warrior, savage, zerker, healer, shaman and pbt-bot.

Pets don't steal credit, it's an urban myth.


No, they don't, really.

That's why they're creating cloaks on chanter pets, so you can see if it steals ure SoM etc.. rly...

Q: I need to get this question cleared up because I'm getting mixed answers. Can a pet make a raid not get credit if it gets the last hit on a ML or Artifact raid mob?

A: No. That’s the short answer. Long answer:

- A monster that has been confused can steal credit on an encounter if the monster gets the killing blow. (Confused creatures will attack other monsters.) This used to happen a lot on dragon raids, so most players above a certain level remember it clearly. The problem is that the confused monster isn’t and can’t be linked to a player the way a pet is, so the server doesn’t realize that the actions of a human player led to the death of the computer generated target.

- There was a bug with TOA, where encounter targets that died to a particular kind of weapon proc damage would not award credit. It took what felt like forever to figure out the common cause. Since most raids do employ pets as supplemental damage dealers, it was thought for some time that the pets were the culprits.

So the convergence of those two facts, combined with the fact that pets do take some experience, may have led to the rumors that the pets steal encounter credit. Rest assured that they do not.
