Lol ?
Havent tested it myself, but if this is true - charming is for sure dead for encs - although it almost is already. Sucks for Magi and Necro. Guess they cant use pets at low lvl now [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

While I think this is almost strictly a nerf to mages, I do worry about low level necros. Poison Bolt and Clinging Darkness won't outdamage most pets without significant lifetapping, and until 12 that's all you have to work with.
Also, I'm pretty sure mages with the ridiculously overpowered fire pets will still level much faster in the early levels by letting the pet take half the exp. The way I see it there are two options now if you want to solo as a mage: 1 - Fire pet, little/no damage from the caster, heals or resummons. Eat the 50% xp loss and move on to the next mob. 2 - Earth pet, do 50% damage by expending quite a bit of mana, then heals/resummon and spend more. Likely going to need to med a lot this way, but you'll get full xp. I'm not sure which is better once you get to the mid levels. | ||

Fire pet's damage shield should be neutral damage (right?) so with this change you'd have to be functionally retarded to use any other pet for solo xp purposes.
Potential ways to exploit this (that developers have probably thought of): Get whatever you are killing down to like 1 nuke territory, start casting nuke, desummon pet at the last moment before nuke lands. booya 100% xp? How about chain petting, will this take into account if I'm on my 3rd pet of the fight, and I outdamage him but not my pets combined? | ||

Quit crying, if you knew how to play - you wouldn't be concerned.

Good now the server will just be overrun by druids instead of druids, necros, enchanters, and mages. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
