Where did my pet go???Follow

Ever wondered why your pet would disappear at nearly full health?

I've been in this situation several times, in the middle of a fight suddenly - *poof* - the fully buffed pet was gone. At first I thougt that it was a bug or that new mobs (post PoR) got a new ability to dismiss pets, but yesterday a friend of mine told me the real reason:

IT'S THE SHROOM !!!

Do you have the Freemind Spore Earring (Halloween quest) or the Lunar Fungus (8th anniversary scavenger hunt)? When you have your pet up, you cannot get the shroom as second pet, but you still get the corresponding buff from these items.

The main disadvantage is that if the buff fades (being dispelled by a DoT or elapsing), your pet goes with it.

Pet classes should think twice before using the shrooms...

Indeedy, anything from the Malo line of debuffs will make the shroom *poof* in a second as well...

Would you try clicking the buff off and tell us what happened?

This is Not accurate.

I constantly Use the shroom earring On my necro when I have my pet up, He never dissapears or anyhting whenever the effect leaves.

Yours(and theres) are just random bugs.

The four times I've had a pet and the Shroom Familiar Effect up on a shaman alt and had a mob land a cast from the malo line on me, the Familiar effect AND pet have disappeared. Sounds awful consistent to me.
