Re: Update: Not Scheduled Yet
one of the factors contributing to this is how ridiculously weak our pets are, Level 40 sins can 2 shot our pets without breaking a sweat any decent sub/boss in game will destroy our pets faster than you can say "6 seconds consistent damage",
Have to disagree i'm afraid. Even before PE comes in, the pets on here are pretty much fine. Sub/boss will destroy them you're correct but they aren't here to tank them. Subs/Bosses are meant to be killed by more than 1 class especially the RC ones. I will say though, red cave aside, just about every boss/sub ingame is soloable by a tao without pets/with just a deva bounce including the new yims subs.
The pets themselves aren't too bad, maybe could use a touch more HP but that's about it. They can currently tank 1 of any standard mob ingame with the exception of the RC rats and that is what they are for, just a little bit of assistance when we are killing in caves or as a general pain in the ass in a pvp thanks to the pure master target system on here.
How is a level 45 wizz killing 6 people in 2 hits fair? ( this is without the very strong 5 blue pets they can have)
Sunpots and no level 45 wiz can 2hit a group of 6 people unless they are either low level or all sin's. Majority of wiz that i know dont even bother to tame pets since they got the HP nerf as they are more hassle than they are worth. Anytime iv been in a fight with a wiz with them pets, dropping a PC on said pet is usually enough for that wiz to promptly RT to save the pet. (Very precious about such things)
How is a level 43 wizz stood still in poison cloud while tanking all out damage from a 44 warrior and 45 tao while blocking a door fair?
Sun pots and they work both ways.
I dread the day Lkira decides to kill everyone on server for a laugh in a few casts with Magic Booster level 2 and meteor!
Mets is and always was going to hurt like a bitch. As it is a total root spell though for a decent duration which doesnt allow combo casting, i anticipate the user getting focused and dropped like a sack of **** by any semi competant sin/war. Taos our choice is to gtfo and hope for a decent PC to land on that root.
In summary, Tao in my opinion has always been a social class. You are there to hunt with a partner and by god you make that partner an absolute tank in some situations thanks to the multiple buffs/debuffs. I dont conform to this every class should be able to kill every other class nonsense. We all have our weaknesses. In a 1v1 with pets a tao should batter any melee class but wiz it becomes more tricky. A warrior with Slow can batter any wiz class but struggle against tao and round the circle goes.
Just my 10cents although i want to get curse leveled properly before i can really comment
