Stop Ninja Nerfing Mage Pets

Just like with the Poison/Disease DoT threat generation - the devs slightly overcompensated for /pet attack range. Now, the attack range is much less than what seems reasonable.

In terms of their hitbox? or in terms of how close they need to be to the target to accept the command?

seems they have to be pretty dang close to the mob to accept the attack command

Big oooof I don't really have much love for even my own mage... but that was one of the few good things about playing / leveling one, could just sit in one spot and order the pet around and clear a whole room without having to move much

Oi, that sucks! I haven't played my mage in a while, but I agree one of the best things about it was I could tag a mob and send the pet in as it approached so the pet had a few chances to grab aggro before the mob could get to me. Or just sit on the hill medding and send the pet to start the fight.

It could just be anecdotal, but it seem that pets cast their spells less often than before.

Magicians just the most recent nerfs. Unclassic or less than classic.

Monks: Sneak pulling
Shadow Knights: Disease cloud, lifetaps
Necromancers: Lifetaps
Bards: Song/proc aggro
Pet and melee classes: Push interrupt

Probably forgetting a couple others. Le sigh.


What else?

I don't really mind the pet tracking nerf, but it could be implemented differently.

Pet tracking was kind of always cheese because the pet just tells you that the mob is up by saying "attacking so and so", but then it just sits there. It's clearly an unintended bug by the original devs, it's not like it runs accross the zone to actually attack the mob, so it's sort of a nonsense "mechanic." Plus it diminishes the value of the actual tracking skill.

Instead, leave the range at which it will run off and attack the mob the same as it was before, and just nerf the range at which it relays a "attacking so and so" message.
