Aren't some of the pets just a bit overpowered? That lion is insane. My champion 1 bard (yes I know they're frail and not suited for combat) in full dragonskin / mithril under half weight got completely rocked by one of those lions, to the point htat hte pet ITSELF took me down to 42% HP. Now, I know bards are frail and aren't meant for combat and whatnot, but to me that's just a bit ridiculous. Pets should all be capped at a certain level and be made mercs instead of barbs. They can bash, but not berserk. The damage that some of them put out is insane and a horse, imo should be used as a mount for travel, not as a shield. It seems like the pets just keep getting stronger and stronger. Take for example those cutlasses. They deal low damage, but they have innate fly and are 100% immune to ANY type of magic. It's not resistance either as even magma spray from a warlock (bypasses MR and MP) doesn't even scathe em. They're basically like a golem. Imo something needs to be done about these crazy pets and they need to be weaker. It's bad when a pet lion can solo a person near grandmaster in full dragonskin and mithril, no matter what class it is. Wha do you guys think? |

I think they are fine, would be nice to see a much larger variety of pets though. |

There is a huge variety of pets in the game. The correct sentiment is: It would be nice to see people buying more than the lion. With the implicit question of: "Why are their lions every where?" |

You know it's a problem when classes that do not need pets are walking around with pets because of the sheer necessity of having that extra DMG output in pvp. Even though I play a barbarian, lions are cheap, tank well, and dish out decent damage and are a great supplement to any battle. With the changes to leveling, I think the pets are appropriately powerful for classes that require being in the second row (priests, bards, even some rogues). I don't really see a solution, the current system just necessitates the ownership of a lion. Sort of like the orb necklaces from Exile, before they got wimped. |

Come again? Anyone w/o a pet is a complete newb, and not because they're missing out on some damage output. And the lions are fine. Your bard is probably just awful. |

I actually have to agree, the lion does little damage to my bard. Get better weapons and or armor. |
