I THINK the pet will attack if its guarding. Mearly speculation, but i agree tamers have no place in pvp....
Well, I think complainers have no place in pvp......If you're in a faction, there needs to be no cause to attack another faction member, what's the point?
Why?...because theirs guilds bicker like little kids? pvp players need alot of growing up.
Pets won't attack a faction mate when they are guarding unless they themselves take damage, which essentially means they won't attack faction mates unless they get caught in an aoe, which most of the time is exactly when you don't want them to attack a faction mate.
As for the rest of it. I can't control what other members of my faction do. Some of them will kill anyone, including faction mates, and as a tamer mage if I am attacked by a faction mate I am left to defend myself with half my template.
It is ridiculous that you can set pets on enemy factioners. The reason why Mysticism is so prevalent in pvpers at the moment is not because of spell plague, but you need mass sleep thanks to everyone using dread war horses and now bane dragons. I can't believe that the player can actually be awarded points and a player can go into stat loss from being killed by pets.
Everyone knows that a kill isn't really a kill if you use a pet, i know it, you know it, the whole of sosario knows it.
Summons, fine, you can dispel them.
"Everyone knows" you don't have a clue. It takes just as much skill, planning and preparation, and just as cool a head, to play a tamer in pvp as it does any other template. And in fact, in my opinion playing a tamer in pvp well is actually more challenging because you not only have to do all the same things that any other player has to do for your own character, but you have to maintain and control the pet or pets as well.
It also takes a thick skin because of all the tamer haters, such as yourself, out there...
