My post stems from my experience of Old Frontier keep defending and the frustration of having pets slowly mow you down when outnumbered. I feel it's really frustrating that people can afk with pet on defensive and actually be more useful than someone who is actively playing their class in a keep siege.
My suggestion is that the pet owner needs to have line of sight for the pet to hit/cast a spell on their target. This means that you as a pet user can't just mindlessly send your pet onto someone and then forget about it. This would improve chances for smaller groups of defenders to actually do some difference instead of just having 5+ pets running at them every time they AoE or CC a keep siege zerg.
Pets that have already started casting an ability would still finish the cast but they would not start a new cast unless the owner can see the enemy, melee pets would follow but no longer continue to hit unless their owner is in line of sight. Less frustration for those affected and more chances of outplaying a pet owner using line of sight. While I understand that this would be a huge nerf to pet users I think that it would be a good change overall since I generally think pets are annoying to say the least.
