Mage pets

[Jadian]

They gonna be like they were in classic/release of p99 or are they going to be the damage/aggro nerfed version we got a few months after Kunark on p99?

[chuck]

both

[tbox]

I would guess the nerfed version

[Jadian]

Oh come on I know some mage went in and tested it.

They can't all be as lazy/indecisive as me

From the screenshots I saw, it looks like mage pets are pretty nerfed like tbox said. It is not like K&B when they hit for 60's and 70's.

I tested lvl 4 necro pet and it hit like shit and I tested lvl 4 Mage pet and it could solo dark blue mobs (necro pet crap damage plus fire dd proc and inherent damage shield).

Level 4 necro pet on K&B or Red69 solo'd yellow mobs easily.

I never played K&B so I don't know how bad pets were there for a reference.

I played a mage at the release of p99 though, so I know how pets were there. They were nerfed once before kunark and then more after kunark.


Are pets holding aggro badly here? If you sit after the pets first round of melee damage on a target does the target come after you? Are high level mage pets occasionally hitting in the teens? Like a triple attack of 46, 13, 46? Those would all indicate the nerfed version of p99 pet.

I think thats fixed, i started a necro on P99, again lol and didnt have to tank the entire time.. (levels 1-10)

if i let pet tank mob down to 75% or so i could even lifetap w/o agro
which wasnt the case a few months ago when i tried a low necro
idk about mid mages, i could log in and check a 27 mage while waiting, and the 49 mage pets seem to be doing good.
(been farmin junk a couple days on a 51 mage w/o probs)

edit: fook that! im not checkin... im gonna make some cookies for tonight
