Return of Reckoning

Hi there,

When I am in melee squig form and using the Fasta Squiggy mount, anytime I go upstairs, hills, etc. my pet will despawn. I uninstalled (and removed from profile) addons (Pet Assist). It basically makes it so I can't use a pet while mSH.

The holiday reindeer mount didn't cause this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've narrowed this down a bit.

If I slot the '50% speed increase to Squig speed' and unslot the +160 wounds/balllistic/strength tactic, the squig does not despawn.

1. The squig pet is having an issue with its default speed to keep up with the Fasta Squiggy! mount.
2. Is the +160 wounds/str/bal tactic necessary for pets to survive (are they still a champion)?
