I am 80% sure I am quitting after this change.

You'll be back. If you leave.

btw - if you are duoing and one pet still does over 50% of the damage...not really sure what to tell you.

i'm almost positive that in a group situation one of the pets merely need to outdamage your group for him to leech exp. i know that when i haste and equip a charmed pet with daggers my exp tanks in groups.

unless the MDPS is really solid, i usually don't even charm anymore because i'm literally robbing my group of experience. it's really kind of a dumb way to balance things. a more direct approach to nerfing pets is probably more appropriate, such as decreasing attack tables.

even if he does come back.... what is the point of the dev's screwing with a mechanic that completely gimps a class? if they want it to be classic XP... sure im all for classic, but with how everything works right now a mage soloing a mob and doing over half the damage is NOT doable. If they are going to change one element of how pets work they need to change everything else as well. Right now we are just being forced into a broken system in the name of "classic".

And "just use an earth pet" is not an answer. This has nothing to do with learning to play differently, there should be NO reason to even use the earth pet if pet agro worked correctly. Being forced to use an earth pet (which doesnt remedy this problem) because the dev's want to change base mechanics of XP is NOT classic in anyones eyes.
