Problem - Group buff on charmed pet casts on pet's owner

[rural_gammie]

I am trying to get group buffs on charmed pets. Charmed pets are not included in the group buff, so I figured I would cast the group buff specifically on the charmed pet. But modbot targets the pets owner as the target of the group buff instead of the charmed pet. Single target buffs work fine on charmed pets. See below. AB7 is a single target buff, and it works fine for charmed pets. AB8 is a group buff, but targets and casts on the charmed pet's owner and not the charmed pet.

Is there a flag I might be missing?


[AB7]
Gem=5
Spell=Call of Earth
SpellFoci=
DurMod=0
SpellAlias=petcoe
Announce=/bc
SpellMinMana=0
TarCnt=1
TarType=pet cbt idle
Recast=FALSE
SpellIcon=
PreCondition=TRUE

[AB8]
Gem=7
Spell=Spirit of the Predator
SpellFoci=
DurMod=0
SpellAlias=petsop
Announce=/bc
SpellMinMana=0
TarCnt=1
TarType=pet cbt idle

To my knowledge, you will always have to use single target buffs for charmed pets.

Hmm, I guess I could do it manually, but would be nice to not have to think about it. Maybe I could do an event and force the buffer to target the charmed pet.

I'm saying I don't think group buffs land on charmed pets even with the AAs.

I don't usually use charmed pets, but I thought group buffs do not land on pets if you target them directly? That is why I specifically coded ModBot to target the pet's owner. Or is that only for regular pets? I can try some tests when I get a chance to log in.

I have fixed an issue in ModBot related to buffing pets with Group buffs (out of group). I will include it in the next release. Along the way, I did confirm that to buff a pet outside of your group using a group buff, you must target the pet owner. Any PC member of the pet owner's group will do, but ModBot will use the pet's owner (as soon as I post the fix). I still have not tried charmed pets.

I haven't actually tested, but the AA description for Pet Affinity says "Makes your SUMMONED pets a valid target for beneficial group spells." Leads me to believe unless there is another AA that allows charmed pets that you are limited to buffing charmed pets with single target buffs.
