Pet Levels

[Cyrik]

I bet a lot of mages and necros would be willing to put up a nice donation if they made this change... hint hint =p

I think having a little randomness in there helps mitigate how powerful chain summoning becomes in later levels.

These should be put back to non-99 state until they fix the pet agro. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You do know the put the rule in for pets not keeping agro when a player is nearby during Velious(to counter enchanter charming in Kael). Not Pre-kurnak. Really sucks to solo indoors as a mage with current pet status, as we cannot heal ourselves from the forced damage taken in tight areas.

I do seem to remember something about giants and charm… =)

I know this is a classic server and there are so many people here that are hardcore about classic, but seriously if classic means "as the game was released" then you're playing a fairly flawed game. I remember playing in beta, and I remember the first few months of release and if that is your definition of classic you can keep it. I'm all for the devs putting in their own touches and fixing things that should be fixed as long as it does not change the way the game was intended to be played.

Pets zoning? That's just common sense. Why would your pet disappear at a predetermined point so that you have to resummon it? If I'm walking down the street with my dog and he suddenly vanishes for no reason, I'm going to be fucking pissed. Just sayin.

Air, fire or water is the group pet of choice. It's really quite situational.

If the mob has high output, then air is a fine choice. If, however, the group is simply pulling to grind or clear for names, then Fire or Water are the logical choices: both pets have equal DPS when the DS is ruled out, and they're the highest DPS overall pre-epic.

Yeah that's exactly what we need, lets make it easier on necro's and mages.... good idea

[Nightblade]

Mages, granted, have it a little easier than Necros do because like it was stated, our summoning components are in more ready supply, and sold by vendors. Having to cut out and hit up a zone to decimate it gets to be a little old after a while. After playing my necro on Live up to the 80's, I can relate wholeheartedly.

The idea isn't to 'make it easier', but more of just a common courtesy sort of thing. A few assholes don't make the whole caste a bunch of heathen rednecks, so I think it rather unfair to take it out on the entirety of the population when implementing something simple as being able to zone with pets, or being able to see what buffs they have, or when periodic effects wear off of creatures is a relatively easy, harmless ordeal. I'm sure druids would be rather appreciative of knowing when that snare broke whilst something was rooted so they know that the next nuke they land is going to have the mob coming at full tilt to beat their faces in.

Many people seem to be making this out to be a game breaking ordeal, which I find positively laughable. What about knowing buff durations, dot messaging, pet zoning is so damned evil?

If you started sommoning pets at max level, the price of bonechips would drop tremendously I would imagine, right?

Kills a newbie market in EC

[XeldiablosX]

So the newbie prices shift from bone chips to CB belts / deathfist belts? or gnoll teeth? lol anyway hehe.... to making it easier on mages an necro's by letting us summon 1 pet instead of resummoning to get a decent level pet? wasting time and mana and doing nothing if you get a bad streak like I have had as well as many others I am sure. Instead of sitting there wasting the first half hour of my night medding an killing off my pet because hes LB >.>

I mean really people wanna whine an complain about it a supposedly OP class an making it easier on them. Then make one an play it out see how it goes, as posted earlier its a matter of convenience to not waste half my night that I am able to play on summoning a gd pet so I can do something lol. Some people do work while others sit here on the game all day or play it while at work no less, others aren't so fortunate.

Also I can see the point that this is classic an it wasn't in the game at that point so I deal with it and I will wait until it is.

/rant off

Sorry but the whining just gets to me >.>
