Pets The following list of pets have been turned into mutually exclusive toggles. This means that you may only have one of these pets out at any given time. Going forward, vanity pets will all fall into this category.

I know the toggle change itself is intentional. That's not really the point of my post.|

The point is that by making that change *and* tagging the toggles to be unusable outside of human form, they've essentially barred both Kheldian ATs from making use of their buff pets (vanity pets, too, for that matter-) a fair bit of the time. There's no way for them to ever have one active AT ALL when in forms.
No other archetypes have that particular problem, and I'm curious rather it being an issue for Kheldians was something anyone on the dev side thought about or not.
I suspect it wasn't, honestly. The shape-change gig isn't exactly a trait common to the majority of the characters in the game.

the issue with khelds may just be an oversight since for the longest time you couldnt even use mystic fortune/secondary mutation while shapeshifted

That's why I thought it might be a good idea to poke somebody about it.

Hi guys...
I don't know if you intended for this to happen with the recent change to vanity and buff pets, or if it was an "unintentional consequence" sort-of thing.... but it seemed like something that ought to be brought to your attention.
By making the pets toggles, you've made them impossible for Peacebringer and Warshade characters to use while in Dwarf and Nova forms.
The pet toggle turns off when those characters switch from human to Dwarf or Nova, killing any already-summoned pets they may have running. The problem is that the toggle, like many other toggles available to the human form, is greyed-out and unusable once the transformation is complete. That makes re-summoning the pet impossible, barring Kheldians from ever being able to use them while in non-human mode.
If that's just an accidental over-sight, fix it please? Sola misses her wisp.
If it's an intentional change... Boo! It's not exactly fair that other ATs can use their buff pets while the squiddies and crabsters can't.
