its so annoying when im trying to fight a boss or do some general mobbing against tougher than average foes and my pets decides to run headfirst into the nearest badass and proceed to be killed in matter of seconds…
if there isnt a weak mob for me to set attack command on during the maliwan raid boss (which most of the mobs are rather deadly fyi) one can expect my skag to go straight towards wotan and die immediately… it makes pet builds (which still suck btw) to be all the more annoying to manage amongst other things like my own survival… you would think flak could tell his pet to “stay close” or “attack” only when you say so orrrr maybe dont program the pet to attack obviously dangerous foes like wotan or annointed badasses head on, or any “kill you quick” enemies you dont nornally hug… flaks pets suck at damage, least they could do is stay alive mid boss or firefight in mayhem 3/4

I think pets will be better once all the pet damage increasing skills work. Atm none of them besides the base dmg boost they got from patch and dmg boost from the 1 skill in blue tree at top of it work.
i really hope so, because as it stands (and has been since game release) the pets are underwhelming in every way… only good use im getting out of my pets is the dmg reduction skills thanks to deathless… and rakk attack only now seems viable thanks to the new mod which is unfortunately obtainable in mayhem 4 only: maliwan takedown or tink boss in cunning proving ground, so nonetheless still discouraging, so i may as well stick to fade away as always.
Rakk attack had always been viable tbh especially with the new annointments. They have just been used as a action skill end annointment effect. U can easily permanently have all those affects and the rakk attack dmg increase annointed effect is easily one of the best.
Also the new rakk com is actually booty sadly it will never do better than red fang,stalker,or bounty hunter. The things that boost really dmg is also weird since they get boost from splash dmg and something else weird i forgot I think its gernade damage QA well as any base damage increasing skills
im still trying to get more of those annointed rakk attack guns… im sure i can switch off fade away once i get some decent annointments
