Oh my, what's happened?
Just like with the Poison/Disease DoT threat generation - the devs slightly overcompensated for /pet attack range. Now, the attack range is much less than what seems reasonable.

In terms of their hitbox? or in terms of how close they need to be to the target to accept the command?

Big oooof I don't really have much love for even my own mage... but that was one of the few good things about playing / leveling one, could just sit in one spot and order the pet around and clear a whole room without having to move much

Oi, that sucks! I haven't played my mage in a while, but I agree one of the best things about it was I could tag a mob and send the pet in as it approached so the pet had a few chances to grab aggro before the mob could get to me. Or just sit on the hill medding and send the pet to start the fight.

It could just be anecdotal, but it seem that pets cast their spells less often than before.

Magicians just the most recent nerfs. Unclassic or less than classic.

Monks: Sneak pulling
Shadow Knights: Disease cloud, lifetaps
Necromancers: Lifetaps
Bards: Song/proc aggro
Pet and melee classes: Push interrupt

Probably forgetting a couple others. Le sigh.


What else?
