whoever you were playing it with was doing it wrong
while pets can add to the healing nictus, phantom army is definitly not affected and shouldnt matter, and on a decent team, doesnt matter how many pets poeple have the healing nictus has a target cap of 16 and it can still miss if your team has good buffs or even a single FF person
if your team is having a hard time with the pets that do get hit such as mm pets or carrion creepers, then hold off on them for a bit, but overall it shouldnt make that much of a difference and the lead of your tf sounded paranoid (and extremely uninformed that PA are untouchable regardless so they cant be healed off of)
Thanks. I made sure it was only PA since I knew they were untouchable.
I can't remember -- maybe he was a brute. Would I steal from his fury building if my pets were taking aggro?
Ah well. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything more stupid than usual 
We don' need no stinkin' signatures!

A lot of people think PA can still be tapped for the heal because when they are hit by the Nictus the animation still goes off even though it doesn't actually trigger the heal.|

We were down to just Rom and his healing Nictus. I was spamming hold and ranged hits on the nictus and dropped my PA to finish off the Nictus. As soon as I did this, a teammate yelled "NO PETS!!!". Nothing else was in aggro range. What am I missing? Please enlighten me. |

Seriously, it may cause you to take another 1-2 minutes to defeat Rommy if you max out his Nictus' healing. Normally, every ITF I've been on just flat-out ignores all the Nicti anyway.
