I can't understand why they feel the need to give pets 50% of your Spell/Heal power and let them be fully geared out in BiS shit. One or the other is probably necessary for balance, but both is, "Huh? Why?"

Tried a pet class and it was just fucking boring. I like knowing I can fuck up and die even though death doesn't mean much on this server.

And then you wonder why 1/2 to 3/4 of the people playing a pet cuck on this server?

This all stems back to the EoM and Dopple bugs in Kunark, when pet sucks were obliterating PD in like 26 seconds. Everybody was bitching that pet cuck was too powerful, they investigated, and then found out pets had a weird interaction with SP and EoM (maybe it was Dopple? One of the two).

Anyways, pet sucks whined to holy fucking hell and back because the original change was that your spell power would be split between ALL of your active pets. Because of all the whining, they did the whole "all pets just get half your SP" thing as a compromise, not factoring in all the +SP gear that would be added later.

On top of that, pets also inherit SP from their owner that is OVER the 750 cap.

It's no wonder pets are absolutely bonkers. It has been an issue since Kunark and they half assed it because of the reeeeing and now we're back to roughly the same point in Kunark where they were out of control. The only change is that the meta used to MAG/BST/ENC and now it's MAG/BST/BRD.

EDIT:

ROFL - from the latest patch notes: Added Greater Syncrosatchels for Necromancer, Enchanter, Beastlord; Available from Merchant Aina at level 60

They must have really gutted the mitigation to give them all consolidation sacks, lol.

Pets are no longer valid targets for NPC Rampage while they have taunt off

Pets are going to be fucking nutty. All they did was nerf some of the stacking bonuses from pet buffs. While it'll impact them, the new satchels will easily make up the difference in the sheer bonus to DPS they're going to get, plus the extra mitigation. And because the extra gear will add AC, it's raw mitigation, whereas the pet buffs were percentage based - basically, MAG pet is going to drop in tankiness a tad, but all the off-pets just got a massive DPS and likely a slight mitigation BUFF, especially with the Rampage changes.

EverPet indeed.

I hear the mag pet got gutted,1/2 mitigation than before from the discord.

Maybe this will turn it around for the pet cuck server.

People already talking removing BRD from cucks, loool.

I would take ANYTHING in the pet discord with a MASSIVE grain of salt.

They literally said that the bug fix they got back in Kunark would be the end of petcucks and they were going to do 25% LESS DPS.

We all know how that turned out.

The brd rune thing really sucks though. For all the non pet cuck builds. Basically if you had 400 heal power before your runes are going from 510 to 110.

No point in rushing to Fire. Anything EXP related is mostly wasted, unless you're still working on AAs for alts.

So just did sleeper on my cuck and I saw no changes. MAYBE pet took more dmg, but not that noticeable. So nerf is prob mostly for POP.

This whole no rampage thing doesn't work. My mage pet ate absolute shit on grummus. I run a SK/BST/MAG and I do the tanking so I know taunt wasn't on.

I can log in just fine. It just seems to take about 10x as long to load between zones vs prior.

Ran pretty decent for me tonight, was pretty suprised. Was actually planning on just waiting till tomorrow thinking it would be unstable to play but ended up knocking out T1, and killing aerin'dar and bertox.
