Before the nerf pets were doing max hits every attempt, now they're averaging out. It's a huge DPS nerf for pet classes. Enchanter level 55 pet went from doing 30-40 DPS to 10-20 DPS looking at my parses.

Over 50% reduction in one patch seems heavy handed, but I don't know what pets did in live so I can't comment on if it's accurate.

was trak really a 3 day spawn and every other dragon was 7 on live?

Since T staff change/fix was suppose to be in last patch,was it updated and not noted on this patch?

Yep, cause he was the only dragon at the time that was required to be killed to finish a key quest.

yea pet damage seems WAY off.

my level 12 necros pet is hitting for 4 on most swings, and my level 54 mage's kunark air pet is hitting for 13 quite consistently.

I can agree pet DPS was probably a bit too high before, but this goes way too far in the opposite direction.

Level 29 pet at lvl 30 is constantly hitting for 6 with intensify death up. I'm running out of mana trying to solo because my pet is simply not doing its share of the damage.

Completely agree, still at 23 (on the verge of 24) but iirc way back in the day, at the low levels like 20, you usually didn't need to recast snare of a blue con (and yes, i'm stacking the same dots I did before patch) usually darkness would wear off around 15%-20% IF it did wear off, now it's more around 40% on average. Understandable for white and higher.

I don't dispute that pets probably were a little hard hitting and Necro's can adapt to the Dot and FD changes, but it's just discouraging to see the pet be whittled down to something that it's own master could probably out-melee.

This nerf is huge really. My pet doesn't hit for much at all now, and addthe fact it can't taunt, it is basically useless (enchanter). W/e forumale was introduced went way overboard. The only dmg that I could see that needed to be toned down was the kick dmg on the pets.

[goodthink]

ps.

I think you guys need to address the taunt-issue before taking away pet dmg and making pets slightly less than totally worthless.
