I noticed while fighting dunkelis in the anniversary event that my pet used Barrier every time my devotion skill shielded them from an AOE. Was this always a thing? Is it new? Does this mean our pets can use their former boss skills? It didn't just work with one pet btw

What exactly do you mean by the "pet used Barrier"? Can you give an example of the battle log? And also, what is the pet set to do, relax or attack or defend?

What exactly do you mean by the "pet used Barrier"? Can you give an example of the battle log? And also, what is the pet set to do, relax or attack or defend? it went Sky Snek dealt 41 damage to Dunkelis. You used <Dango> Devotion!! Defended Sky Snek from area of effect attack. Cast Barrier! Reduced 321 damage. Received 6115 damage from Dunkelis You dealt 459040 damage to Dunkelis Defeated Dunkelis At first I thought it was Dunkelis using Barrier but then I realized I didn't attack, Dunkelis was the one attacking. I can't use barrier, I'm a paladin not a magic class but you know what does use barriers? Boss monsters. Like the one that I had which was the episode 6 boss. I forgot the name but it was a blue ice dragon that looked like a snake with wings. Oh and it was absolutely HUGE. I could be wrong but this either means they were always able to cast barrier or the new update upgraded pets? It sure as hell wasn't there before the update at least.

Barrier like the Purple Aura?
Or the one like when you use Defense?
I think that animation triggers when Paladins protect their pets from AoE vía Devotion.

"Cast Barrier" is a hw skill which reduces dmg taken while casting.
It is also available to other classes through equips, xtals, ALs and relics. In this case it is frequently called "cast defense".
For example, Leviam AL has cast defense +5%. That means that while using a skill that has cast time, you have a chance of receiving reduced dmg.
I forgot what the +% does, increase the chance or dmg reduction, if anyone knows you can tell.

I was just speed farming Anniversary Dunkelis, Halios and Vatendeth then suddenly noticed the message when I was recovering after the fight. The chat was moving way too fast to keep track of everything too. It happened 3 times I can account for with the message boxes in the same order. Which is why I couldn't brush it off as the chat feature messing up

I forgot what the +% does, increase the chance or dmg reduction, if anyone knows you can tell. At the time I was spamming Holy thrust so that means 3 things seeing as that none of my equips have cast defense+%: 1)Holy thrust now has cast defense+% when being casted. 2)devotion now gives cast defense+% to me or my allies while I was casting holy thrust. It boiled down to devotion specifically because cast barrier only happened when devotion activated. I'm going with the second option but I'm going to further investigate more. But assuming all this is legit and its not some mistake on my end why wouldn't the devs announce a tweak on a skill? They announced tweaks on other skills so paladins would be treated normally right? Then again it could've always been like that but it just wasn't in the battle log before and it is now.

I'm honestly more surprised that cast defense +5% activated three times in a row ONLY after devotion activated. I guess
Correlation ≠ Causation
