My nec is only 11, but the trend with these pets I noticed is that they are pretty solid at the level you gain them, but completely a pushover once you are a level away from the next one.

Not sure if this changes at later levels, i'm assuming by 20+ i'll be fear kiting and pet will be just like another dot, not a tank.

spell levels are huge plateaus of power for casters - especially for pet classes. meanwhile the other 3-4 levels only give you a few pts more damage and lowered resists...

Snare the mob you are fighting then walk in the other direction.

So, I decided that my human necro blows and rolled an Erudite one.

Low and behold I realize that the pets have been nerfed almost to uselessness. They can't keep aggro - even one lifetap at 50% hps makes them target me and I can get rid of them. Hell, even just going up and meleeing, if I hit them for 6 dmg with my dagger, the mob won't get away from me. I feel like a damn SK sitting there tanking for my pet cause he can't tank for me. He can kill blues, but it takes forever, and since I don't want to end up tanking the entire time, I can't help him kill it to make things faster. I'm only level 5, does it get any better later levels? This can't possibly be classic.

Is this permanent or are they still being looked into/tweaked?

Hahaha, that's a good one

But they are wrong. Anyone who played a pet class during this time on EQ Live knows that this is completely wrong.

Oh wait, you're serious, let me laugh even harder

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah, man, necros really need to be buffed!
