Game Mechanics: Mage pets research

[randal.flagg]

Next iteration of green just delete the mage class until the pets are in if this is "classic". I cannot explain to you how frustrating it is to have spent over 80 hours leveling into a dead-end.

The idea of this being "classic" is asinine. At what point do we prioritize a *sane* experience?

As I said, a dev is looking into it. They do have jobs, you know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

During that 2 month, people barely reach 30 and server were down most of the time.. it was 1999...

kinda agree, there are people pouring huge days into p99 absolutely destroying xp content in a way that transcends the classic.

Air and Fire 34 thats maximum pet level u can get atm.
Its like playing a 40+ cleric with superior healing only

I mean its not ideal, you're stuck with 0% rez instead of 50 and you have no cheal but in an otherwise balanced group you can probaly get by. Luckily there aren't a higr number of 40+ mobs in vanilla.

Lyandris its the same dead end that existed in classic if it helps. The fix was to fill the gaps with merchants pet.

It was known when the decision to break the clss back on here was made. Same thread.

meanwhile it is known that pets aren't casting at the same interval as in classic

Mage pets didn't get spells until May 1999 and didn't get root until October. So...

I understand some changes/balance issues that were added later, but these were PROBLEMS with the game on release. Just because it was broken then doesn't mean it should be broken now.

It’s pretty simple it was done to force people to group and play like it’s 1999. You think 4 mob aoe is legit classic also? You sweet summer child.
