FULL PET TEAM ASSSEMBLEEEEEEEEE

duneadx · #1 03-07-2014, 12:28 AM

I have touched on the idea before, asked the community, and finally have some down time to give this a shot....

I am trying to assemble a static full pet class group. The idea is exactly as it sounds, a full group of mages (or necros) leveling from newbs to the highest level possible with that group makeup. I have often wondered while playing P99 how effective 6 mages would be, along with 6 pets, at curbstomping whatever NPCs they would be facing at that appropriate level. Picture this, 6 casters worth of nukes at once, and 6 melee NPC pets all converging on 1 poor soul at once. Even if one of the pets were to die, there would be 5 more in tow, ready to pick up the mob. I would like to put this to the test.

What I am looking for:
If you are someone who wanted to level a mage but never got around to it, or just someone who is bored and wanting something to do to pass the time before velious, then this may be the opportunity for you. I am looking to form a static group that will meet a couple times a week (potentially more) to spend a few hours putting this group makeup to the test. If we can gather 6 people together for this, we could potentially have something here.

Please note that I am on EASTERN timezone, so my preferred meeting times will most likely fall into the early evening hours.

If you feel like this would interest you, reply to this thread and let me know your ideas. Thanks for reading!

Well the turnout on this group looks pretty promising!

I am trying to do a window of about 2 sessions during the weekdays, and 1 sunday night if at all possible, roughly 10pm to 12am. Remember, this is something that really doesn't require too much effort, and that is kind of the whole idea. Shouldn't have to cost you any plat (unless you want it to) and should be a moderately laid back experience, while having fun at the same time, and building up a nice fun alt of yours to play in your spare time.

The class composition is still up in the air, but would really like for it to stick to at least 4 pet classes, and if possible, more.

If you are interested, please drop me a PM. (Also you can reach me on any of the chars in my sig)

Update:3/9/2014
Currently we have 3 very committed players who are able to adhere to the schedule and are actively looking for 3 more. Please let me know if this is something that interests you and we can work through the logistics in order to make it happen.

UPDATE: 3/10/2014
We have 5 people folks! Just need one more friendly person to fill the 6th slot and we can start. Please remember to PM if interested!

Update: 3/19/2014
Couple people fell through, but we have already put this group together a few times now and have REALLY been killing it. PST if interested! Meeting t/w/tr nights from 10pm-12am

Fun idea I've seen about 4 Magicians together on Rallos Zek live pvp. Interested to see how a full group of them would do pve.

Were they boxed on RZ?

You guys need a necro to help with heals/possibly snares, if any would be needed that is...otherwise the sheer damage probably pushes a necro to the side [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Don't believe so. Two magicians + one necro was very common there too.

I had a team of 4 necros, an enchanter and shaman in howling stones once. The DPS was out of this world.

Just be careful to manage nuke aggro V.S. Pet aggro. It's a very workable idea, in fact if you get 20 mages you can kill just about any single raid mob. When Valiant Companion comes out in Velious I fully expect to see a party of mages taking down dragons.

Iirc there is a classic bug report in submission queue to limit the number of pets that can be attacking a mob at a single time. Believe the number is 4 meaning any additional pets will stand there with their thumb up their ass.

What about druids for this group? they can charm for a pet

VD used to have a mage club and we were running shit.

To get full XP for the group you would only have to pull with your lvl 1 nuke and let your pets rip the mob up. Is it true only 4 pets at a time? I would imagine anything of 2 necros for this group would be a waste since you cant stack dots on mobs. but having a couple people who could spot heal would be very helpful.
