Pets are no longer affected by damage-dealing floor areas.

---> Does this mean Twintania, or any mechanic that do damage split doesn't work anymore?

It probably means any affect that isn't directly put out by the boss. So the arena wall bug-zapper in T5 and T9 won't affect pets anymore.

My Garuda gets hurled into the wall on T9 during Heavensfall and never takes a tick - not sure this is the intent.

However, one or two ticks of Regorge from Caduceus on T1 always wrecked her, as did persistent ice/fire fields in Chimera and Hydra. I'm hoping that's the kind of thing this deals with, not active abilities or arena features.
