PvP changes with last(?) patch

[Not Salem]

I noticed a few changes in pvp that I thought I'd bring to the forums, as I don't see them listed in any patch notes. I'm not sure when it happened, I just started noticing them with the last patch though.

------------------

Epic Mage Pet Buff

Epic pet's stun is landing often now as opposed to never (@100~ MR) I was resisting maybe 1/3rd of the stuns in my last 2 encounters. The epic pet is also now immune to fear! Class is pretty strong again, would suggest dusting them off and dunking someone with epic pet.

------------------

Rune blocking bash

Another strong change for int casters, rune is now preventing bash from interrupting spells, though I haven't noticed if it stops the 5% chance to interrupt yet. Very easy for bad players with wizard epics to just channel droughts/lures through melee hits Mitic should make a return imo

-----------------

anyone else notice any changes?

no one pvps but you so no changes weren't noticed until now.

[Potus]

I don't recall epic pet being immune to fear, in fact don't Mages get a level 59 buff to deal with that issue?

Also, it was the necro spectre pet that was supposed to be immune to fear... someone had their wires crossed?

[Potus]

Yeah the Spectre pet gets innate fear immunity I think at Velious launch? It's part of a raid fix toward pets because AEs clean their clocks.

[Smedy]

cannot recall the epic pet being immune to fear but i know the necro spectre pet was

mage epic prob wasn't immune but considering how fear was mr based and also an easy to resist mr spell the epic pet resisted it 99% of the time i'd guess

Pretty sure this is spot on. Magician pets were not innately immune to fear.

[Potus]

Mage pets shouldn't be resisting shit.

[iiNGloriouS]

Mage pets shouldn't be resisting shit.

They're like buddhists. One with everything. And by everything I mean schools of magic.

This guy plays a necro, claims necro pets should be immune to fear.

Everyone knows they were only immune to npc fear, and that was a post velius patch. Which had nothing to do with the pvp aspect.

Original eq didn't care about pvp ether. It had to do with balancing dps.

As for mage pets being immune to fear, that's a bug . Without a doubt.

[R Flair]

Epic mage pets arent immune to fear. I just tested it 10 times on my pals pet, only 1 resist and I'm not even 60.

[Zalaerian]

Mage pets were not immune to fear until they got the spell valiant companion or we in luclin?

[Not Salem]

oh ok, azrael doesn't have any epic mages so i was just basing it off this encounter with ozdred in Dreadlands

That is generally what happens when a fully raid buffed SK goes against a squishy self-buffed caster.

I'd like to see you 'dunk' Mirkuls, Grinch or Hashtag 1v1 ;)

[Not Salem]
