Temp Pets and Zoning

I know if you zone with a inherent pet like say fire imps, they come with you now. I believe this was added in i16.

Now, if you summon a temp pet, like the Vanguard Heavy or Shivan for instance, will it zone with you like a normal pet?

I wouldn't think so, it would make them way too powerful.

Especially since the Heavies last until you or it dies.

Just tested it and they don't follow you from zone to zone. Not positive about the heavies but my shivan didn't. I would assume the heavies work the same way.

They probably do, but not a safe assumption since the Shivan has a duration and the Heavy does not. I believe the illusion Phantasm (no duration) will follow you across zones, but Phantom Army (has a duration) will not.

Nope, PA and Phantasm both follow across zones (I just tested it on my Ill 'Troller). Strangely, though, both types of pet disappeared from my pet window upon zoning (but they were still there, and followed me as normal).

I think it's safe to say that pets that are part of an AT power set will zone with you, and pets that are acquired via temp powers will not.

Pets that do zone with you also get buggy from time to time and decide they don't want to be on your team anymore. Zoning again will usually fix this, sometimes simply waiting a few minutes will also work.

This is a known bug. As soon as a pet gets hit by a targeted anything, it'll show back up.
