Another thing is the ability of SK/Paladin to get aggro. Disease cloud was never an instant "I win aggro" button in classic.

Yes it was. So was the Ranger/Druid flame lick spell.

Also, ROFL at all the mages shitting themselves at the dev's offhand comment about an incoming mage pet adjustment.

You think classic pets were OP... just wait till they get their epics [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] now they were OP...

I admit my memories of disease cloud could be off as I soloed most of my classic experience. Also, I admit mage earth pet could tank well in classic but I'm talking about the fire pet. The trade off with fire was supposed to be DPS for less tanking ability but it still stands up to mobs as well as a player tank. Anyway, glad to hear pets are being looked into.

My girlfriend plays a mage and I play an SK alt. In fact I think between us we have one of every class. I just want a classic experience and fire pets soloing reds with no help from the mage is not classic, I don't care what anyone says. It gets annoying having mages bragging about how they could drop group and solo the camp we're in, etc.

I started playing a mage and I'm frustrated by how powerful they are. The pets are so vastly overpowered I see little need to play anything else. That kinda sucks.

I love how this disguised mage pet rage thread is actually working....... It doesn't matter if necros can split and solo any camp in the game and druid/wiz can quad kite levels in 30minutes, lets rage on mage pets.

Complaining how much mage soloing sucks compared to Necro/Druid/Wiz is kind of troll of you.

Lol... Love how every Mage is going crazy. "Omg??? A nerf??? What??? What about my pet???"

[feanan]

am i going crazy? not really. will i be disappointed? yep.

i played a bunch of classes to mid/high teens before settling on
a mage. while there were a few other classes i liked slightly better, i appreciated having a class where i could do some afk soloing. so, yes, i am a bit worried when a dev throws out a comment about them looking at mage pets.

not sure what level you are that you are soloing reds with no help from the mage, but my max level summoned 29 fire pet requires 2-3 heals on a even con mob.

as the devs like to say...produce proof that the pets are more powerful than they were in classic, besides your memory

as far as i'm concerned, they are exactly as i remember them [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
