... saying the pet has to do over 50% of the damage to take 50% of the XP is the same as saying the player has to do over 50% of the damage to not take the XP penalty. ...

These two statements are not equivalent. If one pet does 49% damage and another pet does 49% damage, then the two players combined only need to do 2% damage to prevent from losing full exp.

I'm talking solo, and no they're not equivalent even though they may seem to be. If it's just you and your pet doing the damage with zero outside influence including damage shields then they're both functionally the same.

BTW, this is a "I'd just like to know" thing. It's not too important; my necro does fine.

So is pet agro going to get looked into any time soon? or are mages just completely gimp now. Id like to know before red99 drops... it will influence my decision to play greatly

Well 272 posts and 14,000+ views and still no comment from dev team - so who knows Mala! I would hope they are looking into it and some kind of confirmation would be nice.

They fixed the sword of runes proc, maybe if you keep reporting bugs like a civil human being you might get more things fixed.

How was it fixed?

Originally on live servers didn't it always proc when wielded by a pet? I know the last time I played P99 it only procced if my pet was fighting an elemental.

inyane · #**278** 11-02-2011, 03:34 PM

yeah, its in the bug forum as fixed, pending update. so, next patch should see swords procing.

don't see how its going to help mages with the solo/agro problems though. either the proc damage is attributed to the pet, in which case the mage will have to do even more damage now to try and "win", or it will be neutral damage, which leaves us in the exact same situation as we are now

well, at least it will give mages something to do, summoning swords for other pet classes

You'll have plenty to do now that you have to kill twice as much to level! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just FYI, pet weapon delay and aggro have been reported as bugs but there's no response so far, and the XP change obviously cannot be reported as a bug to be changed.

Those issues are the reason for this lengthy thread. It's just a place to discuss the frustration; the bug reports are where there should be official responses (but so far no official responses).
