Sadly this also made the mage laughable in pvp afterwords because their nukes take too long to cast. The biggest issues were the fact that pets could solo players with relative ease before the patch but after the patch they were completely ignorable, especially with any form of magic resist.

On a side note I am happy that mage pets no longer stop to cast their spells like they used to right now, this was a huge pain when your pet was chasing someone who was running the same speed but your pet would constantly fall behind because the pet would constantly stop to cast.

Oh, and i am not playing a mage during this beta, nor do i plan on playing a mage. Mages are awesome when people do not have resists but once people gear up they will be pathetic in pvp as per the norm.

That screenshot proves you wrong. That pet is hitting for 37 against a ranger that has pretty good gear. That is not a 40% reduction.

The nerf says 'slightly'. I do not think 40% reduction is slightly. 10-15% is slightly.

If you have proof to dispute what I have proven then do it. Just blabbing shit you 'remember' without proof (especially when I have already proven your 'memory' wrong) is wasting time. Don't spread bad info.

If you do the math we are both wrong. The pet in your provided screen shots has a 22% reduction of its normal damage not 10-15%. Maybe you should do the math on your own argument and not waste time with bad information.

Again, think before you hit reply or quote.

You are assuming that the pet is the highest level pet. Which we do not know.

You also forget about AC mitigation on a ranger that is very well geared.

I also did not say that the hit for 37 was, in fact, 10-15% reduction.

I said that 10-15% reduction better describes 'slightly reduced' than your 40%.

There simply aren't enough facts to know what the reduction is, but it sure as hell wasn't 50% or 40%.

There aren't enough pet hits. We don't know what level pet it was. We don't know what the stats on the ranger were.
