Mage pet DMG/HP nerf

[Pozzey]

This thread is not about mage pets maxed out at 34, which itself is a joke.

Mage pets have been un-classically nerfed in strength overall... they were OP for the first 3 months then patched thereafter.

I think that the unspoken intention was to try to stop zerg raids on Naggy/Vox early on but as we can see this is still happening. Not expecting anyone to come forward and agree with this in an official capacity but that seems relatively obvious at this point.

Could we not now scale mages up to their rightful place given that the rationale for intentionally dialling them down is unwarranted?

I truly appreciate everything P99 staff are doing but at the abandonment of an entire class seems somewhat overly harsh.

Thanks for reading.

Another thread that will be moved to the RnF by the anti magician coalition.

And btw necro pets also just a shadow of what they were. Sorry i don’t have the time to find documentation those who played back then just know and remember the crazy necro pets destroying with dual fs daggers.

With those original pet damage numbers and 2 charm anything spells, necros were OP as hell. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

...And people think wizards are sooo out-classed on P99 servers LOL....they're much more competitive here than they were in 1999 EQ [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

This isn't intended to be an RNF post. Just wondering if there is any official response.

If there isn't, and mages will continue to stay "broken" throughout Green, it's less than idela... but it is what it is.

I just wonder if clerics launched without Complete Heal whether there would be an equal amount of silence?

1. Starting off by calling the staff, who you need to make the change you want, out over a different mechanic... probably not a good way to start a bug report.

2. You need actual evidence provided or the staff won't even read your "bug report."

3. You're grossly exaggerating the weakness of mages without pre-nerf pets rather than making a better, actual argument in favor of the change you want to see.

You probably should write an ACTUAL bug report without the ranting or exaggerations then.

How is any of this relevant to a good bug report?
