I have
to agree, on my ranger, I can see exactly how this could give me an unfair
advantage, not as much as a warrior or wizzie, but still an advantage.
However, I have always wished my ranger could have a pet wolf to follow me
around in newbie zones, this used to be possible with the Mistwalker, but they
nerfed that, so now I pretty much have no hope. I wish, they would make a
tinkerable pet, or at least some way to summon a pet, but just have a simple
level 1 (20hp) pet that I could drag around a zone for fun :P. It's a
money sink, and useless in battle, so hey they should be happy
to.
What about a wizard
class. Which all in all would be the strongest class with even a crappy little
pet. A wizards biggest problem is keeping the mob occupied while he/she cast a
spell. Think about it even if the pet had 200 HP it would take a giant 2 hits
to kill it giving the casting times on wizard spells. He could get his root
off and then proceed to whip up the giant I am not saying he would still win,
but a class that is strong like wizards that do not use pets and would really
damn strong if they did, would be something Verant would not ever
do.
