The worst part is it applies before the new pet is swapped in, so it doesn’t get any of the boons and it doesn’t get remorseless.

I hadn’t realized that bit – that is not cool. Does the pet still get the boons from Clarion Bond indirectly via Fortifying Bond?

Just tested in the heart of the mists, with fortifying bond, remorseless, clarion bond and zephyr’s speed the pet you swap to will have 4 stacks of might and quickness. So fortifying bond is giving it the measly 1 stack of might from clarions bond but not the fury or swiftness and as I said before no opening strike either.

Thanks for testing that. I hope they:

1. Fix the tonic in combat problem
2. Make the Call of the Wild ICD for Clarion Bond sync up with (or be shorter than) pet swap when traited with Windborne Notes and slightly longer than pet swap when not traited
3. Figure out a way to make ICDs like this visible since combat decisions are made on when ICDs are over – as things stand now, the activation of Clarion Bond is not reliable or predictable

+1, all the +1 on this comment. Being able to transform in combat is not a reason to punish the class. Fixing the tonic should be addressed instead of killing such a good trait.

I should add a fourth:

1. Fix the tonic in combat problem
2. Make the Call of the Wild ICD for Clarion Bond sync up with (or be shorter than) pet swap when traited with Windborne Notes and slightly longer than pet swap when not traited
3. Figure out a way to make ICDs like this visible since combat decisions are made on when ICDs are over – as things stand now, the activation of Clarion Bond is not reliable or predictable
4. Make Call of the Wild triggered via Clarion Bond apply after pet swap so the new pet receives the boons
