Figures...Now that I finally got my torch after 3 weeks of camping that this comes out. Come to find out that I will be less powerful than I was when I didn't have it....

My shaman's 39 pet, prior to the patch, conned dark blue, maxed for 35, and had duel wield, it was a nice upgrade to the 34 pet. After the patch he cons green, does not duel wield, and maxes for 27. Oddly enough that is what my 34 pet was like, maxed for 27 with no duel wield, but of course he conned DB at 34. Seems kind of odd to me, and makes me wonder if this is working as intended. I did not play a shaman on live, so I really don't know how shaman pets are suppose to be.

my 39 shaman pet duel wielded last night. He was green as he would be on live and maxed for 31, maybe you just got the lowest level one, but he should still dual wield. And prior to patch the 39 pet would only con dark blue at level 39 if you got the highest level pet, most would be light blue.

I have found the same thing as you with pet strength. As an enchanter whom does not have over 200 cha(for charming) when soloing I rely on my animation to tank for me while I dot/nuke and debuff. While before I could solo blues with my pet and the pet would be at half health before the mob died...now it is usual for me to have my pet dead and the mob in question still has 40% health.

When summoning pets...they do not seem to have a level range anymore...you seem to always summon the lowest level pet for that group ie...the level 29 pet animation spell is only summoning the level 29 pet...it never seems to scale up to 33.

I verified this by casting the pet spell 40 times and looking at the pet. They all worked like level 29 pets and nothing higher.

I think it was in Classic (except perhaps the level 4 spell, which was probably special-cased in the code).

But my question for Haynar is - what *is* MAX?? In classic, I thought I occasionally got white-conning pets, but never yellow. So that would mean that the level 16 spell would have MAX==16. And the pets could be 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16. Anybody else remember white-conning pets in classic?

It is possible I am remembering a later change.

From the reports above, it sounds like MAX is now set to the spell level - 1 (or even spell level - 2). So for the level 16 pet, is MAX currently 15? So that you will get a pet that is level 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 (all conning green or blue when you first get the spell)? Or 14 (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)?

Thanks in advance for any clarification on what MAX is.

For Mages it depends on the spell level of the pet: http://www.xalmat.com/eqsummoners.co...e-library.html

It's impossible to get an even con beyond level 20.

Oooh, good info, thanks.

So we should be able to get yellow-con pets prior to level 20. Sadly, this does not seem to be the case right now - every pet I have cast so far is green. Will keep testing though.

I can confirm the pet variance is working well. On my necro, level 8 pet was blue to me at level 12, summoned a new level 12 pet, was light blue and hit for less than the level 8 pet. Sadness. This sucks pretty bad [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
