Beast mastery
Beast mastery has been added to the game.
Pets now have a new resource called focus. You can see your pet’s focus in the pet frame. Each pet has a focus threshold indicated by a white ring on the focus meter. If your pet’s focus is below the white ring the pet will deal less than full damage, once above the threshold the pet will deal full damage.
Pets gain focus by being in combat. If the tamer looks at the pet or what the pet is attacking,and stays close to it the pet will gain focus faster. Pets that are mounted will also gain focus. The amount of focus the pet gains is also impacted by the tamer’s Beast Mastery skill.
Almost every creature in the game that is tamed or dominated now has 4 pet skills that the tamer needs to trigger for the pet to use them in combat. These pet skills cost focus.
To trigger a pet skill drag it to the action bar and press the button shown on the action bar slot.
Pet skill has a minimum focus required, this is the amount of focus the pet must have built up to be able to use the pet skill. Each pet skill also has a focus cost, this is the amount of focus removed from the pet when the pet skill is triggered.
Some pet skills also have a target requirement, some require you to target the pet itself, some require you to target the pet’s current target etc. You can see these requirements, if there are any, in the tooltip for the pet skill. If you fail to target the required target the pet will lose the focus cost of the pet skill but will not trigger the skill.
Pet skills can be unlocked by leveling up or finding certain skills. If a pet skill is locked you should see what you need to do to unlock it by hovering the pet skill.
If you correctly target the pet skill and the pet has the required focus to trigger a skill the skill is queued on the pet. This means that the next attack the pet does will be the pet skill. Pet’s do not instantly trigger the pet skill, instead it will trigger once their current attack is finished. You can only queue one pet skill per pet.
All damage done by a tamed or dominated pet is now also scaled using the Beast Mastery skill.

Changes

Fixes
- Fixed rare server issues that could cause parts of the world to crash.
- Fixed bug which caused you to never be able to cast spells until death or relog.
- Fixed issue where the mount speed boost (double tap W) would throttle down after 10 seconds even when the boost had been canceled causing the mount to throttle down to a lower speed than intended.
- Fixed issue with mount speed boost being canceled if the player double tapped W a second time after boost was active. Tapping W multiple times in a row should now ensure you end up in the boost state.
- Fixed visual bug where it looked like you could add a stolen item to the trade window.
- Fixed not being able to transfer items to a stack of items in a bag/pet if it was full.
- Fixed not being able to fill the last slot in pet bags if the pet had armor equipped.
- Fixed Human clade gift 'Warcry' would decrease outgoing magic damage instead of incoming.
- Fixed an issue with Crab attack behaviors.
- Fixed an issue with the eyes of Shoreprowers.
- Fixed an issue with the Necromancer Boss that allowed you to kill him quicker than intended.
- Several environment art fixes.
- Several typos fixed.
- Possible fix for the invisible gear issue. If this happens past this patch please report it!
