Druids pets (charm) are acting strangely. When I send my pet in to attack, it hits the mob once then runs back to me. I have to spam attack to keep it on the mob. This seems broken, but I don't use pets much. I can't say if it was caused by this patch.

Seems to be fixed. Thanks.

AC mitigation changes are definitely noticeable. I have nearly 600 AC and I went from being able to kill 2 light blue mobs solo with 1 health bar to being able to kill 4.

nm, understand now that I've read through it again

Shamans are going to kill me for this post, but I doubt the devs will change anything because of it. Someone was asking about Shaman pets, so here we go.

I played a Shaman as my main class back in the day and know more about them than any other class. One quirk to their pet was that they would NEVER equip weapons. Not even for procs. No matter what weapon you gave them, they would always "hit". Not until 2002 did they add the ability for shaman pets to equip weapons. This also allowed them to dual wield. No shaman pet would dual wield (I don't even think the PoP pet True Spirit would dual wield) unless it was given 2 weapons.

Here's a related post for proof: http://samanna.net/CRUCIBLE_SAVES/pets_and_weapons.html

People wouldn't be going crazy about their pets equipping weapons 3 years after the release of the game if it wasn't something new.

Another thing I've noticed is that shaman pets tank too well on this server. You were always way better off tanking instead of your pet on live, but on here I've seen shaman utilize their pet like a mage, which is definitely weird to see. As far as regen goes, I'm pretty sure that shaman pets regen at the same rate as the others (mage/necro etc). Shaman pets would always regen way "faster" than mage/necro pets, due to having much lower HP.

But anyways, the whole shaman pets equipping weapons thing was such a great turning point for Shaman that thread is one of the dozen saved topics from the old Crucible, along with VT Key, AA guides, etc. It was a huge bugfix that most people don't remember (it wasn't documented), that P99 should never see.

the freakin 29 pets don't even dual wield unless you have the max level pet.

Did you even play during the first three expansions?

Yes actually I started right before Kunark and played heavily from Kunark until PoP. Anything else you need to know about http://strategywiki.org/wiki/EverQue...ecromancer/Pet ?

The ability to DW should be tied to the spell level, no matter what the pet ends up spawning as. The damage, sure. But the abilities, no.

Then code it up Mr. Smartypants.

I am so sick of the pet classes and their non stop whining. I think I will go work on some other classes for awhile.

the character im currently leveling is a pet class (necro) but srsly.. take a break from the friggn pet classes, probably the solution flies by (is often that way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])

and to all the whiners: shut the fuck up if you cant contribute more than "QQ THIS IS NOT WORKING QQ" instead of a fix or at last an idea for a fix or anything....
all you cause with your stupid whining is developers gettin tired of working on things, cause it will end in QQing anyways..

pointing out that some changes fucked up things is one thing, but this goes to far, idiots!

btw... REMEMBER: the developers take their fucking free time to make p99, appreciate it or go to hell!

Awesome response from a dev. "I overnerfed a large number of the classes in the game, people are complaining but fuck you!" Haynar, you've added a lot of positive fixes for P99 but this wasn't one of them. No need to get so defensive bro.

A lot of people have been doing nothing but contributing valuable information in an attempt to get this fixed.
