P1999 pet xp today, experiences

55 necro here. I add 1 more DoT (3 in total) and I'm gtg. I use the rogue pet. I personally don't feel all that affected.

I look at classic as all or nothing. If pets generate 0 aggro, you can't allow pet xp to work this way. If pets are adjusted to hold significantly more hate, then you can keep this.

Choose one.

Agree

It's because you're not pet tanking. You want aggro so you can kite. As a mage we don't have the ability to snare and thus have to pet tank.

As a great example:

I'm running through LOIO last night with fire pet. A sarnak aggros me. I send pet on sarnak. It took a good 5 seconds for pet to pull him off me and I did 0 damage to the mob.

In true classic if you sent pet in on a mob you had not damaged it would pull it off you immediately. Very broken.

Aye I agree. I Fear/Kite so I am at an advantage decidedly. I never played a mage before but talked to my guild mate and he mentioned they have no snare or fear.

For your class it's a serious cock punch.

I feel like we are living an experiment to see what EQ would be like if mages couldn't solo
