Petname??? All the same?

[SPAM_is_bad]

<div>Did anyone else have the issue where all of your pets were named the same thing?  I had 5 freaking pets all named Exwife running around.....was hilarious......</div>

[Yirabeth]

That many exes would be a....nightmare.....*g*Yes all my pets had the same name last night, it was good for a laugh --- imagine a group of orcs being taken down by a field of daisies.../snicker~Yira<div></div>

Had the same issue here... but you can use /petname in a macro to work around it.example: macro1 for main pet                     /petname Rehnquist                     /usea Diseased Servant               macro2 for dogs                      /petname Souter                      /usea Blighted Pack             macro 3 for ghastly                      /petname Scalia                        /usea Stench of the GraveOnly problem is that macros won't show the recast left for the swarm pets.  Each type of swarm pet willl get its own name this way.<div></div>

<div></div>one thing i don't like about the new pet names is now its Motherinlaw hits a something or other for 9999 damage, not Motherinlaw <Kopics pet> so the parsers count the pet as its own player.

<div>Yep pets are parsing seperately now and the dumbfires get lumped in with them.  Thats why the parse shows your pets doing pierce and crushing and crazy dps : )</div>

<div></div><p>I am a new Necro just level 9, but I can't get /petname to work for me. Is it based on what level I am or do you think I am just doing something wrong?</p><p>Thank you for any help in advance?</p>

Are you resummoning the pet after /petname newname ? You can't change the name of the pet that is already out.<div></div>
