Do pets break mez on this server? V2.0

Once again, you fail to understand that there is not always a "safe spot" as you describe it. when you tell someone, "[only keep] your pet on follow...outdoors or if you are moving a considerable distance" you reveal yourself as not understanding the subtlety of the necro class or the disaster that will come from your pet breaking a single mez. People should be warned not to group with you in tight situations, because your rule will eventually cause havoc.


Its too bad that you call yourself necromancer extraordinaire when you clearly haven't played a necro in any actual capacity. everybody on this server seems to think they are an expert, and it turns out most of them are phonies.

oh yeah, idiot.

My way works for me. Never had a problem, but thanks for your concern.

Including yourself then, you are no expert that is for sure. no one really is all you can do is be good enough to adjust to different situations if you think any rule is hard and fast in anything in life then you need to really take a look around get off the high horse and grow up.

if you actually read my post you would see that i didn't agree with quitis that follow ALL the time was best, and that I said you need to read the camp, puller, tank, mezzer, etc and choose what is best for the particular situation...but then again, why would you bother to actually read the thread before you post?

and, yes, I stand by my post that there are TONS of people on this server that think they are masters of EQ...and they don't match up after only a few minutes of playing with them. If you wanna lump me into that category without ever playing with me or even reading my posts then your opinion isn't really worth all that much.

Seems like you do that with others who disagree with you so why shouldn't we think the same of you?

And why do you say in every single one of your posts "If you had read my post..."? We read your stupid posts. That's the fucking point... Otherwise we wouldn't be talking to you. Which brings up a great point... Why the fuck AM I talking to you?

The End.

[fastboy21]

the point is you speak with authority, but the you are really like a lvl 20 necro with no clue about what you are talking about. the group you cited as evidence was prob in oasis or crushbone.

and, if you don't know why you are posting (you certainly don't know what you are posting) then stop.

Not sure why you feel the need to post your 101

Ok time to explain pet mechanics 101 again..

So in short I was correct.

Pets cant be ordered to attack a mezzed mobs which I already knew.

Yes there is a mechanic in game, tied directly into /pet attack, that prevents putting NPC's on your pet's hate list, that are unattackable, and yes, that are Mes'd. But that is the only thing helping you do your job. Everything else is up to the pet caster.

[Quitis]

Sure, you can order your pet to attack all you want, its that one little mechanic that prevents the targetted Mes'd, Charmed, whatever NPC from being put on your hate list that everyone needs to learn about so they know that there is only one thing preventing their pet from attacking a mes'd mob, and a whole slew of other crap that will cause their pet to attack a mes'd mob anyway.

Btw, I know I mentioned this in an earlier reply, but I want to reiterate.

If your pet gets a DoT put on it, it will reagro over and over again regardless of Mes. Destroy these pets at all costs or ask for a target change.

Now this is some good advice. Thank you.

Along the same train of thought it's up to the pet classes themselves to remind their groups of this and to suggest killing caster/dotting mobs first at all costs. Mistakes happen, of course, but good communication goes a long way.

Also, I am not intending to rouse "fastboy" from his rage fuelled slumber but the whole "Follow or Guard" debate amounts to preference. I understand the benefit of keeping your pet on follow, but I'm situationally aware and don't see the need personally. I just prefer to know where my pet will go to after every fight. Sue me. Never had any complaints from group members (that I know of).
