What exactly changes for Mages / Pets in Kunark?

a call to fix pet spells needs to be sold as

"Mage pets are delivering unclassically high levels of dps as they aren't having enough missed rounds due to not spamming spells"

But that isn't true lol. I don't play as magician on green but I know that they aren't delivering more damage due to not casting their spells as much lol. Your quote sounds like mage hate lol.

He’s just giving an example of how to package a bug report in general. But anyway, technically he’s not wrong. If a pet isn’t casting root as much then it’s potentially doing damage in those rounds instead

Thank you for clarifying cd288 I’m not so good at expressing stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

Self CoTH should work on green when it gets to that. It is classic but it gets changed at some point. I don't remember when.

The only classes who will be able to solo without high levels of gear will be Enchanters, Necromancers, and Shamans... and I guess filthy Bards. Druids and Wizards can quad but I am not sure thats really all that great past 55... Bear pits for Druids is incredibly dangerous and usually leads to more XP lost than gained.

Anyhow, even the 'good' solo classes typically duo or trio past 55 in my experience because you dont have to play the charm break game or worry about dieing as much.
Shamans with Epic I think have the easiest time of any class because its no brain rooting and mana-free DoTing... CoM will be littered with Epic shamans killing 5+ mobs at a time on the upper levels, and HS will be littered with enchanter/cleric duos.

But to your question Mages become less OP because Melee gets boosted from better itemization and your pets dont really scale up... and on raids most guilds wont even let you have a pet up because they can be huge liabilities with pathing so you become a summon/CoTH bot and nothing more in the end game.

Guild Leader: Summon more rods slave
Mage: I have 300 rods down sir
Guild Leader: Great! Now log onto a warrior/cleric/rogue so you can actually be useful to the raid... oh! and log your shit mage out in the corner so when we need to CoTH in more people we can
Mage: Yes sir!

To be fair, outside of clerics and the main tank...most guilds would rather you log off your enchanter, shaman, mage, necro, druid and log into a guild cleric account. It's just reality.

Perhaps, but it only requires a little bit of backbone to say, "No."

I’ll just bring whatever I fancy or is most convenient for me. If asked to switch to a different toon I’ll politely decline, and perhaps explain I’m not interested in playing shareds or trashing faction on my ‘optimum’ toon. If the issue continues to be pressed I’ll lose any interest in playing and /q.

I’m a massive child.
