The Hidden Forest

Problem:

Due to the raid mechanic of rampage on the server, pets are mostly a 1 hit wonder on serious raid targets. Pet classes are designed with their pets as a large portion of their characters abilities. Making the caster take time out of their DPS casting to heal their pet further pushes the disparity between caster and melee DPS.

Suggestion:

Make pets IMMUNE to Rampage. Give each class a AE spell ward buff for their pet that lasts 4 or 5 times per cast. So the pet caster still has to keep some kind of an eye on their pet if the encounter has AoE spells, but at least it can contribute to the fight.

-----------------------------------

So far, the best proposed solution is a Pet only raid zone restricted heal or rune buff. The above solution would require modifying the source.

Please welcome druids to the ranks of pet classes
They no match for BST pets, but they will give non raiding druids some DPS boost.

I will reply on the others issues soon.

re: pet toys

do you guys have access to this item?

I think the muzzle and belt a mage can summon are also sold on the weapons vendor in the forest

thats a different muzzle.
the one sold has like 25% haste, this one is 35%

I think that one may be one of the fear toys, i heard it comes in a bag with stuff, so thats probly one of them

Havent gotten the pet toy clicky to drop from dracoliche, so havent messed around with it

Ok apparently there s a whole new set of Fear pet gear already in game. So seems like highest raid raiding already taken care off

If so, a dagger summon needs to be added for when we get a rogue pet so it can backstab :p

i am pretty sure that pet, just like npc doesn't need a dagger to backstab =)

at least without any weapons at all the new druid lev 70 pet backstabs no problem for 584 dmg

druid pet BSing for 584, means mage pet is gonna do like 1500+ right? :p
