- Pets with taunt off ACTUALLY, REALLY, FOR REAL are ignored by Rampage
- Corrected Literally Unplayable typo in
/pet health output
/pet health aliases added -> /pet stats /pet inventory etc- Added
/pet assist command (on\off toggle available). When this mode is enabled, pet will follow owner's autoattack & damaging spell targets, as well as automatically assist any pet with taunt on if the assisting pet has taunt off
- Added popup stats window to
/pet health output

- Pet taunt and aggro generation revised.
- Pet taunt always succeeds to put them at the top of hate list (with a smaller buffer than players get from the Taunt skill, which can fail)
- Pets with
taunt on inherit ALL of their owner's aggro (before aggro-reduction modifiers), and having a pet in this state reduces their owner's aggro by 50%.
- Net result is that solo players will not take aggro from mobs as long as their tank pet is alive, and grouped players will not have perfect aggro on their tank pet (but can generate enough aggro cumulative with the tank pet to make pet tanking in groups viable)
- Pet Illusions survive zoning
- Petamorph wands can target individual pets.
