Is pet damage being returned to P99 launch code?

No, they weren't. Rogean basically said tough titties, deal with it. The arguments, rants and flames were duly noted, lol.

Well I dont understand this server then. They enforced classic graphics, classics, everything, but they are not going to make classic pets? Even the graphics on the pets arent classic yet the character models are? Im sorry, im just a little confused.

If you have proof that the pets are not classic (apart from the delay issue which is client-side I think), post it instead of crying about it please.

This isn't true - the frequency of getting their maximum hit was reduced dramatically and cut their DPS a TON. Pets used to typically always hit near the maximum. Now it's pretty damn rare.

Pets hitting for their maximum all the time was not classic. There used to be serious problems with pet mitigation/damage that have (thankfully) been fixed. Level ~40 pets used to mitigate damage on mobs like the spiroc lord better than level 50 warriors. You really want to go back to that?

I wasn't saying it was classic, I was negating where you said that the only thing that changed was their delay. Don't have to be such a baby about it.

Pets on the other emulators are generally are very wrong.. and very much in the OP category.

They aren't that far from classically accurate on p99 now. I think some additional work on npc vs pet hate is needed, but the damage and ac are correct.

And you can see your elementals using the classic models. Choose it in Options, uncheck Luclin elementals and horses. Alternately, you can change UseLuclinElementals=TRUE to UseLuclinElementals=FALSE in your eqclient.ini file.

BAM!
there ya go lazor... and im not whining, just stating that i felt they were off compared to live.
The DPS does feel about right, but their agro control is off
i used to roll with a druid (later boxed cleric) so cant really judge the beefiness correctly, but it seems about right

I only ever got my necro to level 30 in classic but i do distinctly remember it not holding aggro well at all and me fear kiting/aggro kiting everything

^^ This

I dont think your going to see classic pets here

[joetheman]

how do you make them duel wield?

[vinx]

otehr emu comparsions should be left out of P99 talk
(besides vztz comparisons that are sometimes releveant to prove a point)

The pets we have on P99 are alot weaker then live classic+ pets
the no duel weilding is legit tho

Thanks Nilbog, I can see the good ol fluffy pets again~!
