Lol ?
Havent tested it myself, but if this is true - charming is for sure dead for encs - although it almost is already. Sucks for Magi and Necro. Guess they cant use pets at low lvl now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

While I think this is almost strictly a nerf to mages, I do worry about low level necros. Poison Bolt and Clinging Darkness won't outdamage most pets without significant lifetapping, and until 12 that's all you have to work with.
Also, I'm pretty sure mages with the ridiculously overpowered fire pets will still level much faster in the early levels by letting the pet take half the exp. The way I see it there are two options now if you want to solo as a mage: 1 - Fire pet, little/no damage from the caster, heals or resummons. Eat the 50% xp loss and move on to the next mob. 2 - Earth pet, do 50% damage by expending quite a bit of mana, then heals/resummon and spend more. Likely going to need to med a lot this way, but you'll get full xp. I'm not sure which is better once you get to the mid levels. | ||

Fire pet's damage shield should be neutral damage (right?) so with this change you'd have to be functionally retarded to use any other pet for solo xp purposes.
Potential ways to exploit this (that developers have probably thought of): Get whatever you are killing down to like 1 nuke territory, start casting nuke, desummon pet at the last moment before nuke lands. booya 100% xp? How about chain petting, will this take into account if I'm on my 3rd pet of the fight, and I outdamage him but not my pets combined? | ||

Seriously guys just give it up already... enchanters DESERVED the nerf bat for being able to practically have a dire charm pet, so now we get a nerf that addresses both the charmed pet (from any charming class) and afking pet classes. You think 50% pen is the end of the world? Then find 1 more person to group with. Solo vs Duo xp is NOT that much more different (provided you duo with the right class/person). So instead of whining about it here, go find that partner so you can ignore that 50% penalty. If you keep whining to each other you may become BFF online~

You are seriously trying to legitimize a 50% nerf on all exp gained by a class while soloing with your above statement? Did you stop to think about the people that just rolled an enchanter within the past month? Or those that never had 200+ charisma and were unable to charm before the charm fix? (Yes you needed 200+ for it to work which costs a couple hundred platinum to buy the gear). How on Earth can you sit there and say it's okay to do this as supposed punishment when it's new players that are being effected the most? this nerf doesn't effect me at all, I'm just trying to help others... Think outside the box man.
