Request for Ornaments of the Gods AA

[cbarrett]

Here is a request for a new mage aa that affects only their summoned pets. If you add up all the stats on the bag of stuff that the rank 1 version of Ornaments of the Gods, it will come out to the numbers below. In a nutshell it sure would be nice for mages to be able to summon their own pets with all the benefits of this gear bundled into a single pet undispellable self buff. Pets are so fragile against the higher tier bosses and too often get decimated when they enrage. It's a chore to resummon this bag of stuff and hand it all over to your pet over and over, then destroy or drop the bag. It would be a nice perk for the class that is the master summoner to have an advantage with their own pets with this aa line. The original spell line would be left alone for mages to give to other classes pets. Additional ranks of this aa could be made to clone Ranks 2 and 3 of this spell line and locked away in higher tiers.

Ornaments of the Gods Rk. I is already available to any new level 70 mage due to it being tradeable and sold by higher tiered players, so rank 1 of this aa line should have no requirements other than a hefty aa point cost or platinum or both.

Elemental Attire Rk 1 (100 AA)
This is a passive ability; it does not need to be activated.
Requirements: Level: 70, No previous ability requirements.

Interesting idea... Any other inputs on this?

Also just FYI with the new code pets will accept bags of items and auto equip the items within them. So it makes it a little less painful to resummon

[Sian]

Good idea and interesting news for new code. There will not be any problem giving a bag with 3 weapons vaion? Which ones will be equipped ?

I think this is how mage pets work on live, after a certain lvl, like 75+ or something they just come summoned with the pet weapons and armor that the mage can summon.

I'm probably the biggest pet class hater around but this is a really great idea to reduce downtime.

[cbarrett]

I didn't really think this through. If the buff idea is put into place then there would be nothing to stop me from double dipping and also giving my pet all the gear - except for the fact that I'm waaay too lazy for that.

I did not know that there was plans to enable the pets to take a whole bag and auto equip all the goodies inside themselves, that is more than good enough for me. Personally I dont care which of the 3 weapons the pets decide to equip but others probably do and its a valid question.

[Vaion]

I believe it's the first two weapons, but it may be the last two. Honestly I'll have to check and get back to you all with this one

Also the idea of auto summoning with gear is doable. That could be a nice alternative that would still make the weapons valuable to other players with pets.

I believe on live it was based on the pet focus effect if the higher level pets came with toys equipped already. Using that method would prevent double dipping by summoning with innate stats then equipping.

As for being able to just give a bag, OH HELL YES. I mean umm, that is nice.

To sum up : anything that can make us more lazy than we already are is welcome! aa, innate ability related To focus or whole bag is perfect as long as we can slack and that other pet class are ont forgotten.
