Hello guys. I am a new ranger and noticed that moas have this passive skill that heals for quite a bit. Is there a way I can trigger this skill reliably, or my pet has to be damaged so it heals itself?

If a nearby ally is below like 80% health it should trigger, but it’s been like 3 years since I used moas regularly.

So is it based on nearby ally health rather than moa’s own health? And if I have another moa on swap, do they share cooldowns? If it is based on nearby ally health and there is a nearby ally with low health, will moa use Harmonic Cry first thing when I swap to it?

Edit: It seems that having Frenzied Attack on cooldown is a requirement, but Harmonic Cry isnt used immediately after that. Nearby ally health or ally proximity don’t seem to affect it, but I believe moa’s health is playing a part.

I really thought allies were involved, but that was ten thousand small updates ago. It would make sense that it didn’t base it’s usage off of allies to keep the pet itself alive.

If I have a second tonight I’ll go out to some medium level zone and try to figure out exactly what the pet does.

Moa only used heal without using Frenzied Attack if it was out of range of target and not full health, range at which it uses heal might be random. At melee range it used heal some 5-10 sec after Frenzied Attack. I would say this skill is only reliable for encounters that have more or less a stationary target which deals damage over time.
