Aeolwind, does stat pass mean nerfing or buffing? When can we expect details of what's changing? Thanks! (and yes I know, any "nerfing" or "buffing" will only be to bring it closer in line to real classic)

He means now that pets have a 60% xp penalty that will be shared by the group [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Classic era mobs have lower hitpoints and hit for less than mobs for every subsequent expansion.

The reason why some people remember things differently is usually because things changed a great deal within the first 16 months of Everquest.

Consider the difference (extreme example) of a level 25 mob in Luclin versus a level 25 Aviak in South Karana. Use the same pet on those two mobs and you will think you are hallucinating.

Mage Pets are getting a stat pass as we speak.

And yes, disease cloud really was that much aggro.

Another thing is the ability of SK/Paladin to get aggro. Disease cloud was never an instant "I win aggro" button in classic.

Yes it was. So was the Ranger/Druid flame lick spell.

Also, ROFL at all the mages shitting themselves at the dev's offhand comment about an incoming mage pet adjustment.

You think classic pets were OP... just wait till they get their epics [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] now they were OP...

I admit my memories of disease cloud could be off as I soloed most of my classic experience. Also, I admit mage earth pet could tank well in classic but I'm talking about the fire pet. The trade off with fire was supposed to be DPS for less tanking ability but it still stands up to mobs as well as a player tank. Anyway, glad to hear pets are being looked into.

My girlfriend plays a mage and I play an SK alt. In fact I think between us we have one of every class. I just want a classic experience and fire pets soloing reds with no help from the mage is not classic, I don't care what anyone says. It gets annoying having mages bragging about how they could drop group and solo the camp we're in, etc.
