No no...me 2 - thanks

'sides....each time I have encountered you the result has been:

1. Run away - not a bad thing...it's tactics and you must choose your battles
2. You have died.

Now - this thread isn't a who killed who or what have you. It's about pets being weaker. So if you want, take this offline in a pm to me. Now, if you feel be-rated because of how I brought your hunter into this thread please understand I did not mean so.

Back to the thread at hand

Aye, I use my pet as a tool and only invest enough to tame the pet I want. I choose the Ignean Orc Grunt because:

1. He hits hard compared to other pets
2. He's lvl 51 and actually will resist ALOT of attacks from lvls 45 and below

During a fort fight I'll use Skin of the Beast (lvl1) because it gives him 50% protection. Additionally I'll use Performance (lvl1) because it gives him a 50% evade chance. Then...I'll send him on his way to go poke on people. Now, since he's a higher level MOB it will take another person or two to kill him. So, he'll either kill the person I send him after (usually a conjurer) or he'll force peoples attention away from the fight to deal with him....

Kinda the principle where "Shooting to wound" takes more people from a combat situation than killing any one individual.

Well ..... seems to me that makes perfect sense .... and rightly so, this is how i play, or at least try there Comp .... as I have managed to learn over the last little while from you and a few of the other good hunters we have. I've seen the way others do it, Ive been beaten by others as well, many times, but it happens. I use the highest level, hardest hitting, most resisting mob I can, at whatever level I happen to be at that time, and that's what I use .... just makes sense to me. My other skill trees are high enuff for my playing style, and like Comp says ..... win some, lose some

But yes, I did notice, or seem to think I noticed my pet (young ignean orc) not hitting quite as hard as before ..... might just be me

Except that about 5-6 players will shoot him once, and he's toast in 2 seconds flat.

Alas....I'm not much of a fort-fighter I help where and how I can. Somehow my pet usually seems to do okay especially when we make a push. People tend to forget about the pets when that occurs. Since it's quite easy to just "revive" him he's an extra body to use.

But.....are pets weaker - for sure. If your one of those hunters that use a cat.....oh my get rid of it. Even lvl 51 kitties hit me for 80 and MAYBE 120 critical if they are lucky. Throw evasive tactics and I'm getting hit for around 40. Get something that will hit....

Yea, I noticed that my orc grunt was hitting in the 300's maybe I think with lvl 5 beastly wrath. I have since gotten rid of a pet and gone for my older setup, but now with confuse. I have 99 dexterity now.

haha - I'm about to go that way because of new changes coming. Having a pet during the next update sounds like it will be a hinder....not a help give that camo is now only offensive and pets won't hide with you....uff!!
