I just found out that I cannot buff my OWN charmed pets anymore! And according to a guildmate, it's been the same for the Behest bear since Luclin's release!

WTF is this stupid crap?

People started charming monsters, uber buffing them, and then zoneing.

just think about it.

Yeesh, so what? How many times does it actually happen, Fennar?

And why can't we even buff the Nature Walker's Behest? That's a 100% summoned pet!

It happens more than you think. Since people can't PVP they find other ways to be Grief players.

it seems rather stupid to me actually. They gave us a pet only buff, and now its a spell I can;t use. I can;t even HEAL my pets anymore. How can you hurt a noobie by haeling your pets? its just friggin stupid. So much for druid pets being worth anything other than farming zombie skins.

Synny, try working on Tailoring one day, you'll be glad to be able to SoW your charmed griff to kill spiders spread throughout East Karanas.

She does practice Tailoring, hunting the carrion and crag spiders on her own, without benefit of pets.

Maybe it was a botch that nobody reported or looked into yet, like when they screwed up Bard songs when SoL was released.

Sure, it's possible, but you have to sit down and med once you're OOM. I'd just charm a griffawn, Chloro it and SoW it, and I've got a manaless killing machine.

But I can't even heal it! Gaah

Didnt necros have a spell that was a specific heal for their pets?? and if so, does this new change make that spell now obsolete??

NOTE: Maradon, this is NOT an invitation for you to comment... I am sure there are plenty of other necros (or even experienced player of other classes) who could answer this. You would, most liekly, use it simply as an excuse to whine (like you always do). So please.. DON'T!

Hm, I'll go test this now. Bah, giving spectres 65% speed and FDing was fun .

Tested:

Corpal Empathy on Pet(Generic Heal): Works
Pact of Shadow on Pet(Generic Heal over time): Works
Augument Death on Pet(Pet Buff): Works
Renew Bones on Pet(Pet only heal): Works

Didn't have anything to charm in DL though, so I couldn't test that.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

Ok checked out my pet buffs. Augment Death Works. And my heal works (but not when they are in combat. This is normal.)

Guess they didn't like people making Manaless killing machines and getting a free ride. They want us to work for our experience. Earn it. Sounds fine to me. I have more fun with a challenge than I do just refreshing Mez every few minutes.

seems to me that they went about things backwards. Should've just made it that the effect of the buffs you put on an NPC disappear when you zone, just like the charm.

*shrug*

does explain how I got owned at 5th level by a scaled wolf in Field of Bone back when I started playing EQ on my own account back when Kunark came out. That's always been one of the big mysteries of my EQ experience. *obviously doesn't play charm-tactic-classes*

I've bugged it.. and told Rowyl about it =\

but like I said I don't care about the charmed pet thing... I hardly use charm anymore. And if I do it's prolly with the bats in Solb and in that case, I *don't* want to go buffing them.

the bear pet is useful for other things, other then farming.

I've used him in several raids, and since he doesn't build agro, he acts like a little dot. The extra 30 or 35 points of damage does help in alot of cases.

What J'Deth said is a better solution. Just have all the spells on the charmed mob break when you leave the zone or the charm breaks. which ever happens first.

Typically it's been a HP issue. Pets below a certain HP threshold can't be buffed, Wolves from the Mistwalker, Cleric Pets, etc, etc.

It seems they've expanded the range and it's included the dr00d pet. Not like the dr00d pet was worth much though...

What? I don't think this is normal, I used to solo stuff by healing my pet in combat. What heal are you talking about?
