You must be high as a kite to think getting killed in general is the point of this thread. The point of this thread is getting killed before I have the chance to even see a user interface.

If I lose a fight, so be it. It happens every day. Losing fights you didn't even get to fight is a huge turnoff.

Boog My 2h slasher can 1 hit u given the proper hits on opener its not just the pets its the LG's and skills I think its time u re-think your builds cause obviously its not the oppenents issue if u dont see the fight screen. its yours

Oh, and since when do whips do massive damage? Lol (sorry I just read this thread so replying in order :P)

Nerf companions =) imo the max damage is higher than any known legendary melee weapon and with pet damage getting huge bonuses from skills and armors and rabit (+50% damage to companions damage wth! >.<) its too huge... I propose to reduce their damage and lower the attack delay.

Pretty sure Glitchless quit reading this weeks ago.

This is something that will be addressed prior to pet crafting.

Companions are not the issue, it is people who don't know how to survive and refuse to be able to adapt to any combat situation.

I for one will not say that these pets are op. Dots still have the lead in my book.

Well probably its possible to survive one or two or three of those pets with some skills and luck, but some builds cant adapt good enough to survive them without sacrificing some stats points or gear that they use for their main purpose for more Protection. And i doubt anyone will be able to survive x6 Companions... Not complaning, its just the fact that the damage on the pets is too huge. The concept of hard hitting pets with slow attack speed is good but in my opinion slightly lowering the max damage and cut their attack delay for a bit would balance the Companions.

It's not a nerf if they lower both damage and delay at separate rates, keeping the dps the same. If you take a 300 damage et with 100 delay and reduce it to 150 damage with 50 delay, your dps on that pet will remain at 3. I'm not asking for a nerf, which I explicitly said in an earlier post in this thread. All I'm asking for is survivable openers as a caster in a one on one environment.

Good point Boog. Thats what i was talking about, balance Companions so that they would have the same DPS as they do now but not so hard hitting.

[paulodjohn]

He has neither a companion nor is he a doter. hardly an educated comment. I Don't think any other classes can obtain as much mitigation as a caster can. But still they can be literally killed without the chance of casting a gem or 2.
It was obvious that glitch would have to solve this problem before introducing a way to breed pets. basically I don't think he is too pushed about duels and clan battles.. but as for arena a team that can decimate 1-2 members in an opener will never work.

[Kerrlahg]

Let's see, pets have long had all these stats that don't matter at all. And now we are going to get a major pet patch... Can anyone else guess where this is going...?

[brow]

Obviously this is in reply to Glitch's original "well if you're super OP you might be able to survive a few opening crits" comment. In a 1v1 with companion bm vs OP tank? sure. But if you are in a 3v3 arena match or clan battle, the pets attack instantly without even clicking anything. All the BM has to do is target anyone without a shield, then ... done. There is no possible way to taunt before pets attack, even if you draw the taunt and don't click attack.

I will say this though .. pet crafting? HELL YEAH

The fact that not many tanks have bothered replying in this thread says a lot. Yes the pets do have pretty high crits but with the right build they are not 'overkill' as people have described em. Having faced pedro MANY times in arena and having taken the first hits and survived em quite nicely (only to die to DoTs) I can attest that they are not over powered. The delay is quite large and one has to depend on many other skills to remain useful. its not just the pets that make a bm. its the skills and the build. Most often the pets will miss or be growled or blocked. maybe 1 will hit but with close to 15k hp that is maybe half my hp gone. Thats not so bad if you have a healer in the team.
Boog ur defense has always been really fail. U cant expect to go into CB or PvP against ANY decent bm/tank and expect to win. Let alone pedro with or without those pets.
And imo, DOTS still rule. No offense to any casters, just stating a fact. and no not saying they need a nerf. DoT skills and the gem pouch are difficult to obtain and need a lot of hard work, like any other build and the ones who are best at DoTs are also the ones who worked at it the most. Kudos to them
