Ship buffs for pets

[Sylvado]

Is it possible to have the ship buffs for pets be on the same timer as the player instead of losing them on logout?

I second this suggestion. Is a real paint to run to the ship just to rebuff the pet.
Would also be nice if when leveling the pet did not loose then due to resummoning.

To keep things simple, the pet could adopt the same buffs as the character who summoned it. This would ensure that when the pet has to be unsummoned due to unresponsiveness, it can be resummoned with the same buffs!

That's a great idea, and I hope this actually happens.

I didn't even know this was possible, this is awesome.

I don't know if it's possible, but it'd be great.
Just making the pet buff guild buff simply hand out the rest would work, since the pets get that one every time you summon one.
Hey, it'd also buff hires on the way out, but it's not like they don't need the help too.

Hires need more help than can be given.

Ain't that the truth.

This would indeed be a very welcome addition!

I thought they were fake pet buffs. I used to but gave up on them because so time consuming... they really work?!!
Too bad hirelings don't get them too. oh.. you said that... never mind!

OOOOOH!!! a button [share guild buffs with party!] lag would love it... wouldn't you Mr. Lag?

Just make all applicable buffs that are active on a character also apply to their pet—even short-term buffs. Have both existing buffs carry over when the pet is summoned, as well any new buffs applied. It’s not like this would make pets overpowered or unbalanced at all.

Pets need a comprehensive overhaul, starting with their AI and their GUI to make them more reliable and manageable

But this suggestion is absolutely something to include with that. Pets should inherit pretty much everything relevant from their players - they're effectively just an extension of player power, after all. And then anything unique to pets is added efficacy on top of that.

I'd even like to see health link for pets, so that damage/healing is more evenly distributed and keeping pets alive isnt such an exercise in micro

Whoa???? Really??? I never knew that buffing pets was a thing. Nice

What? You have to port to your guild's ship to rebuff when you log in or level up?! Sorry, I'm too lazy for that.
