Pet name Player name problems

Recommended Posts

I thought it was clever to give my pet the same name as my player name. Being on a pvp server, it makes people do all kinds of stupid things when I feign death. 

But healers in my groups are up in arms over it.  They are angry that my pet name being the same as my name, messes up their addons. Coming from the perspective of a top healer in Legion, my opinion is that healers should learn how to decurse without using an addon.  I am sure... they do not agree.

I can't exactly go and tame a new pet, because they are Lupos, and Broken Tooth.

Any thoughts?

The phrase "Hoist on your own petard" comes to mind for some reason ...

Quote

Shakespeare's phrase, "hoist with his own petard," is an idiom that means "to be harmed by one's own plan to harm someone else" or "to fall into one's own trap", implying that one could be lifted (blown) upward by one's own bomb, or in other words, be foiled by one's own plan.

Any knows how /tar macro works? I'm pretty sure some healer in my guild has a /tar [hunter in my guilds pet name].

Would my pet be targeted for heals if my pet is closer to the healer and I name my pet the same name as in his /tar macro?

I ran into a bug the other day with DPSMate where it would double the damage displayed for the hunter whose pet's name is identical. It screws up a lot of things.

Great for PvP, but if you're bringing a raiding wolf or something, it's quite unnecessary.

Lupos is my pvp and pve pet. It's very necessary unless I tame another one.

Spoiler

I'm not doing that.

Other than getting a very generous game master to spawn in a Lupos and Broken Tooth for you (lol good luck with that), I'm afraid I don't have any other advice than hunt them down again, tame another pet of some sort, refrain from using your pet on certain fights, or work something else out with the healers. :c
