Looking over the new /assist rules, we agree that's it's still possible then to use pets as a means of assisting a character (the owner of the pets ofc), right?

It SEEMS so based on this
/assist will return a target if the Target is a NPC and the Target's Target is a Player Character.
But then we assume that a pet is fully considered a NPC as for the /assist command.

We have to test; it's easy to do it. Some probably already tested on Test server; I was not testing that patch though.
