In the past you could never big head a summon because they couldn't use the items, such as the potions, or were not affected by the hot springs. Now that herbs can be picked up and used by pets and summons, they too are affected by the big head when you instruct them to pick up a herb.
summons did get HS curses but not sure if they ever got the big head one and i'm positive they never got a big head if they ever did get it
still wondering if any other summons get it, as you can see WS summons are the only ones in game which have their body segmented and while that doesn't really matter if big head is part of an animation file it would be a big deal if it's vertex related
either way i'm mesmerized at what NCsoft chooses to spend their time on ><
Yup yup they get it :) I was PS on the PTS and my summons got. I also saw an ES with her pony and they both had big heads too. So summons definitely get the big head :)

Herbs has always been shared 50/50 between the summon and the char. The big head herb is a new one that was added in CT2 and that's why we have never seen it before.
Yes the other summons and pets gets affected by it to (pets has to pick them up them self as they don't share the herbs 50/50 as the summons do).
Does anyone really think big head is funny? for me its just anoying and a waste of code.
It's annoying!
Herb of Lets get overbuffed because a stupid herb that looks like a Herb of Speed or Herb of Mana.
I'm not sure it's so easy to be overbuffed in CT2. Especially when grinding in field areas.
Overbuffed? Most of the time I got lv68+++ PP buffs so most of the herbs just overrule the buffs for 4min. Got enough slots for my self buffs (Rapid Shot, maybe Accurancy-toggle) without going overbuffed, even with 4 dances.
It's frigging annoying that the Mortal Blow Herb looks exactly the same as the Mana Herb.
You aren't forced to pick it up.
If you don't want to take the time to scroll over it to make sure it's a Herb of Mana, then that is your problem, isn't it?
1. spam attack till mob is dead
2. frantically spam pickup without looking
3. move to next mob
At least that's how I do it so I pick every crap up that drops :P
But then again I could care less if I'm running around with a bigger head for 5 minutes, it actually looks kinda funny ^.^
What IS annoying tho is that the DW herb looks like the MP ones. I'm always trigger happy "oh wow cool, greater mp herb! ^_^" and then it's only a DW herb...
Oh and btw, summons COULD in fact get big head effect before already. At pavel ruins there are mobs that cast it as a debuff and it DID enlarge my cat's head back then... Could dig for a screen, gimme a sec!
And that was like 2 chronicles ago. Or even more Oo Dun remember :P (my warlock subclass died a horrible death 1 lvl later and got replaced by a BD ^^)
Well, I love the big head. I don't know that I actually think it is funny, but I certainly adore it. I didn't know there were herbs out there now with it..... Guess I'm spending too much time in the rift and Hellbound :)
No the potions dont make your head big permanently. Nothing makes your head permanently big, it would be a pain to resize all your helmets, dont you think?:P
Actually there are quite a few ways to get a big head these days, the fish monster curse, Hot Springs, potions you can buy from the priest, now the herb...did i miss something?
Btw its extremely easy to remove the big head "buff" if you think its below your dignity as a zomgpvppwnzer to go around having a big bobble head. Just Alt+click on the buff and its gone. Tadaa!
permanently no, but you have mysterius pots that lasts for 20min that you can buy from the dusk/dawn priests. There are also some event hats (auctioner sells them sometimes) that gives you a big head.
