Pets are near useless.
If you use camouflage you lose pet, if you don't camo and don't use any surprise a warju or warlock will kill your pet in seconds, your damage is lower, you don't have barrier, you can't auto-heal, your new range is worse for your pet...barbarians will buff as they see you and kill your pet, knights resist a lot, and the two now have same or more speed....
So, as I see If I use pet I'm more useless in a war than before, If I'm hunting skin of the beast is as necessary as UM for barbs.
If I don't use pet I need to use an area (OP vs barbarian's areas) to kill one player and confuse to level things (bad for conjus). Cold blood is like 3 more hits, and you lose time buffing, it was better to use dual shot as it was before the nerf.
I also don't see any fun thing in the new support role, I prefer the dynamism of conjurers and knights.
