=Wouldn't this encourage AFK killing again? Or am I misunderstanding how this works? Couldn't a level 44 mage stick his pet on a spectre in Oasis for the night=?

ummm I would think this would lead to the permanent deletion of that mages account. Is that the case when someone AFK xps?

this change wouldn't be so bad if pet taunt/agro actually worked.

i want to see a mage do over 50% nuke damage on a mob and not have that mob beating their ass into the ground

Can't wait for the EC stock market to open. I'm putting everything in malachite futures.

The solution isn't to do more than 50% damage. The solution is to solo as you normally would even if that means you'll be going half as fast, because you'll still have more solo ability than any other non-Bard class. This nerf is pretty much necessary and should have been in from the beginning.

Also, you could always just group - then your group mates will surely do more than 50% damage.

Anyways, not sure what the complaining is about, this is classic.

absolutely not. charmed, hasted, dual wielding pets will outdamage 1, 2, possibly even 3 mdps in a group. seems overpowered to you? maybe, but keep in mind that charm will break 100% given enough time and that retarded dps will go straight to the enchanter or druid.

however, this nerf makes it questionable whether to use pets at all in groups if there is even a doubt that the pet will take exp.

Because not everything is classic, sometimes on purpose, so when something is nerfed in the name of "classic" it's bothersome.

I have a feeling when I log on and start kiting I'm gonna take a massive XP hit, because my pet normally does a lot more than 50% of the damage because of the DOT reduction on moving targets. I used to think I was doing more than 50% because I got decent XP, but now I know that that's not the case at all.

You guys need to stop whining, seriously. This still leaves pet classes as much faster soloers than every other class (except Bards). It was like this in classic and didn't cause a huge shitstorm then, so why would it be a problem now? If anything this is a good thing, it means you're more likely to get other classically inaccurate things fixed (like pet weapon delay, sword of runes, and so on). You came here to play classic, don't complain when they make things classic.
