Default Pet XP changes Oct 23 2011 patch follow up

Hey folks,

Just wondering if the pet exp changes as of the October 23 patch have been fully figured out and how do you think it has impacted pet classes?

Thanks,

- Tbox

F'd the following classes in the A: Magician, Necromancer, Enchanter, Druid, Shaman. In no particular order.

Doesn't it fuck enchanters the most since they're pretty much incapable of even outdamaging their pet at all? Between shitty damage output and the enormous aggro from the stun component of their nukes, I don't see how soloing is possible for enchanters, except when camping items where the xp is generally irrelevant. While it sucks hugely for all the pet classes, the other ones are at least able to do the 50% damage it takes to get proper xp from the kill. Memblur is out of the question because it fails like 80% of the time and doesn't tell you whether it fails or succeeds, plus it would be too much mana to spend on top of the terrible nukes and the constant re-charms.

It's a terrible change. It has damaged the server morale.

really guys I play a mage as my main only lvl 43 the change is a bummer but you just have to find new ways to get the kill. I have been loooing for caster type mobs that have low hit points that I can easily blast and do 50% of the damage. P1999 is still a great server and let me remind you its free so roll with the punches mage is stilll a fun ans productive class to play.

I don't think shamans should be affected at all, and the charming classes (druid/chanter) only have to make minor adjustments to get full xp.

As for mages, do what Strides says - kill low hp mobs like bards and casters. Or just roll with the penalty and continue to be one of, if not the best, solo class for leveling.

You can also (gasp) duo or group.

It did affect shaman from 34-39, at least me anyways. I was able to avoid it by changing my play style, but it was less efficient.

Now at 39 it hasn't been an issue because my new DoT. Also because the pet isn't as strong vs what I'm hunting now as compared to what the 34 pet was against what I was hunting then.
