First of all, I’m not playing a “pet-using” class. Mine is lvl 57 and I only use it as a regular companion. But come on IMC, its Stamina depletes WAY TOO MUCH FAST!
Sometimes I feed it at the Companion Trader and after going to my personal storage and to the blacksmith, its Stamina is ALREADY HALF GONE! Pet Food is not cheap either (1k for 2 pieces, basically). And your pet doesn’t even recover Stamina by itself, not even when the player is sitting by a bonfire. This doesn’t even make sense.
Moreover, feeding it only before boss fights isn’t always possible, sometimes you’re not even expecting a boss fight to show up.
Why not make pets restore Stamina by themselves? Or maybe add pet items that would reduce Stamina usage/make it restore? (By the way, are there any pet items available yet? Haven’t found any so far…)
Pets are way too buggy and annoyingly weak (even at high levels) at this point to make players have to worry about their Stamina restoration capabilities…
