I Dont Feel Like Playing My Mage Anymore....

[Snaggles]

I’ll measure off some distances today or tomorrow and do pet attack testing.

Normally the onus is on the thread starter bucking the status quo or alleging a bug. It’s clearly not your style so I’ll try to figure this out for you.

Changelog

• Rogean: Distance check re-added for Pet Attack

Weird, I don't see a post after this showing any data of the before and after ranges. Waiting on Snaggles to provide some actual proof that things are borked not a pompous git ranting about his gut feelings

I took 5 minutes to confirm pet attack is not 300 range like Scars of Sigil
Moved up until a NPC was on range for Shock of Steel, 200 range.
DDD responded to attack command at 200 range and started running.

This is a substantial amount of distance. I can’t know for certain if it was 300 range before but I doubt it. All of my pet command use is around the distance of a normal detriment spell (cancel magic, Shock of Steel, Sini/Mala, Burst of Flame). Even chaining kills in Droga, the 200 range extends from the last kill so you can queue up kills and have it run all over the room, even if that’s not the best way to grind for sake of perming the pet.

I feel that 100 range would be potentially annoying but I still not class-breaking. After all, that is the distance of the shaman epic and normal heal spells (not remedy, chloroblast, or natures touch which are 200).

Also remember, pet attack is not line of sight as are detrimental cast spells.

PS: I know this is fairly nerdy for the RNF section but didn’t think it was necessary to create a thread about it.

mad.

[kjs86z2]

throw it on inny @ 100% drop rate

its 2025 let the coth bots have their epic

[Snaggles]

Yeah, what Rip said. This effectively changes nothing. Raid scene, grind scene, etc.

Perhaps a server side variable they can change without doing a client patch and did so in response to the complaints. All I know is, its different than it was a month ago.
