Problem - Pocket Pixie Prankster pet buff not working in KA

[B_I_G__D_A_D_D_Y]

So I got my team their Pocket Pixie Prankster achievement. It's a combo device that either casts a pet illusion or summons a familiar.

I can't get KA 12.002.025 to actually target the pet when it clicks it! If you don't have the pet targeted, then it just summons the familiar and the pet is left as-is.

So one weird thing... if the pet was previously targeted by the Gift of Itzal buff then the illusion will cast normally. But otherwise the pet buff routine will not target the pet. Of course it works normally if you do it manually. I have tried it without the "Dual" tag as well and it doesn't help at all.

I reviewed the PetBuff subroutine and the CastWhat subroutine and I can't determine what ensures the pet actually gets targeted.

Here is the relevant section from my INI file:

[Pet]
PetOn=1
PetSpell=Minion of Itzal
PetShrinkOn=1
PetShrinkSpell=Curious Companion Compactor
PetBuffsOn=1
PetBuffsSize=2
PetBuffs1=Gift of Itzal
PetBuffs2=Pocket Pixie Prankster|Dual|Pet Illusion: Pocket Pixie Prankster

So the end result is that after every mob dying my SK will stop what it's doing and try once to cast the pet illusion. It fails and then he runs off to pull again.

The simple thing for me to do would be to just ignore this vanity thing and remove those lines, but I thought I'd report it anyway in case I'm too stupid to understand the possible fix.

1. can you cast it manually and it work? if not check pet blocked buffs -

2. does the sk target the pet when he tries to cast the illusion because its also a familiar it has to target the pet for the illusion


these things suck as both a familiar and a pet buff/illusion - i dont even bother with my mage i cast it manually

In most cases you do not have to target your pet to cast a pet buff. The routine checks and only targets pets when needed. This was implemented to keep from target switching all the time, when checking buffs. Might need to add a new tag to force pet targeting in cases like this.
