In Diablo II, it is done through the Unsummon skill, which any player gains if they have a skill that allows summoning pets.
Pets can be unsummoned at will (for example, if player does not want them to attract the attention of idle monsters). In Diablo III, pets of other players are displayed transparent and less visible. Necromancers, Druids and Witch Doctors are the three classes that have an opportunity to deal a major part of their damage through pets, although other classes may sometimes make a build focused on pets. If the latter ventures too far, pets can teleport to their current location, although immobile summonables lack this ability, and will stay where summoned until the location is exited, or until they are killed or their timer expires.įollowers and Hirelings are not necessarily pets, and should not be considered as such, though they share similarities with pets in the facts that they have their own AI, and also fall in battle if their master dies. In Diablo III, monsters tend to attack their master's current target, unless it is somehow out of their reach. As enemies generally do so as well, melee pets are often used as a meat shield for their ranged-attacking master.
In Diablo III, killable pets' Toughness depends on that of their master, and they take greatly reduced damage from area-of-effect attacks, as well as any attacks that are supposed to be avoided by the player.Īll pets have their own AI, and usually attack the closest target they see. Unattackable pets, however, very rarely if ever block enemy path. Most pets block enemy pathing, and therefore may lock their target in combat, taking hits on themselves while keeping their master safe. Some pets are attackable by enemies and/or killable, while others are ignored by enemies for targeting purposes and have no Life bar.
Companions, summonables and summons are also common terms for pets. Pets are sometimes called minions, but that name is generally reserved for monsters accompanying a powerful enemy. In fact, most pets act as monsters, except for they are fighting on player's side. Pets autonomously and independently attack enemies (or otherwise assist in battle) while not being under the player's direct control. Pet is a common name for any summonable companion of a player.
For monsters assisting a Rare Monster or Unique Monster, see Minion.
