If a mag gets a add the fight is over period, people <melee> cry constantly that pets are OPd but in reality its to make there own class more powerful. After youve alrdy nerfed pets 4 times.

I'm in no way trying to be disrespectful, and enjoy playing on YOUR server daily, but constistancy would be great, enchanters are not pet classses, either are shaman, why nerf mag/necro pets over and over?.

You need to back off on the pipe some," enchanters are not a pet class". I use my pet every grind and solo'd 95% of my 45 lvls. My pet does the work and I give it a 11 point dam shield and slow the mob. Ooo and let me not forget my 11 point dot that really burns the mob down fast =P We just use our pets a bit differently.

I dont understand chnages /nerfs that keep comming. I know this is uppsoe to be classic but do you keep following the same time line that totaly FCK'd EQ to begin with till no one wanted to play anymore? Well shit cut out the waiting and let implament all of Sony's fck ups now so i dont have to wait till the game sucks bad enough to quit again.

This ^

Sorry monks, but being a monk on live - you'll figure it out. Those that dont, will be crappy monks (just like on live!) those that did will be always needed in groups. Yes, pathing type mobs *will* remember you indefinitely , thats how it was on live. Only mobs that "reset" after FD back to a static spawn point will forget you. FD is not a get out of jail free card (until later when they made it better with AA), you have to use it right for it to be useful.

I remember *frequently* pulling in raids, and agroing wanderers that we did not want, we would FD and /quit to clear agro - many, many times over the course of an evening of raiding. Thats just the way it was.

Pet nurf sucks, but if you dont admit they were way OP then.... sorry to burst your bubble, but it was way out of whack.

You don't get it. The pet nerf wasn't a timeline-dictated change, it was, as Kanras said, a 'this has been wrong since the server started' change.

Pet's were OP on this server, and it needed to be addressed. Whether they swung the nerf bat too hard is something to discuss, but I think most would agree that it pet damage needed to be tuned down somewhat.

With the change, it seems my pet isn't hitting for max more than once every 15 hits or so and he hit for 8dmg much too often (tested vs blue con and green con mobs with pet duel wielding). It's the enc pet from level 34. And for those who think enc's aren't pet classes, you need to roll an enc and solo. The end.

They did with regards to pet min hit frequency. Should be noticeably lower, pending update.

I never played a chanter before so I have nothing to base my pet damage output on other then what my pet went from to what my pet went to. The point is do you impliment things to the point of pissing everyone off who were content with how thins were to the point of not wanting to play?

I do feel discourage I'm going through a hell lvl all good in that, but now my pet gets his ass beat cause the fight now takes twice as long which means I also get to sit longer waiting on him to heal so now a hell lvl has just got even more hellish. So kudos to all of you lvl60 chanters who were able to use whirl all the way to 50 cause it was the suck for us who did not and now the grind is increased by a pet who swings like a thai shemale.
