Pet peeves

i have a couple of issues with pets... at least one is a bug...

ISSUE #1

in the Winter event one could get 'Build Snowbeast' as a power... oddly, one can have 3 of these at one time... but they don't stack... it says this in the description... so this is correct... and that's NOT the issue, but i suspect it is the cause...

i accumulated 3 of these, and placed them on one power bar... but on occasion, when i log back in, one or two of them have been removed from the power bar... i still have them, and i can still place them back... but they shouldn't be removed without ME doing so...

ISSUE #2

this one I'm not sure if its a bug, but it is not 'nice'... I have 'spiderlings' i can bring up in accordance to my being an arachnos soldier with that ability... i have managed to reduce its recharge time so much that it becomes 'available' before the spiderlings go away... i think this is referred to as 'perma-pet'...

the problem is this... if i evoke the 'spiderling' power while i still have spiderlings, it does not bring up another set... ok fair enough... but it resets the spiderlings powers recharge timer, so i can't bring them up when they do go away... if i do this while the spiderlings are at that exact moment they die, it can have this result in only some of them returning... for example, i might end up with just one or two spiderlings...

I would think evoking the power when there are spiderlings still up should either:

- evoke more spiderlings (thus having as many as 6)
- disable the power (grey it) until the existing spiderlings are gone
- kill existing spiderlings, bring in fresh set of 3
- auto-bring-in ALL the spiderlings back when the current ones go away

spiderlings last for 4 minutes, and i have their recharge time down to about 3 minute 45 seconds... so if a evoke the power between 3 min 45 secs and 4 min i will end up with NO spiderlings for almost 4 minutes...

this seems like a bug, but i guess it could be working as intended...
