I remember insta duel wield after lvl 39 as well. I don't think this change was warranted, however, I do trust that the GMs did proper homework prior to renerfing magician pets.

That being said, it's been confirmed by developers that they are NOT going to increase pet power despite classic timelines and patches. This was evident in things like the "pets use weapon delay", "sword of runes procs on all mobs", etc. not being implemented on this server.

Pets are incredibly strong as is I agree that developers shouldn't be going out of their way to increase pet power over other pressing matters. However, a 40% blow to mage DPS is quite substantial....

Anyway, let's ride it out and see where it came from! Like I said earlier, the GMs do their homework prior to nerfs and patches. I'm sure Nilbog will follow up shortly with a quote from a reliable source. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
