Here's a parse. Dead Hills against A xulous elder. Even con mob. EM16 pet with only burnout rank 2 and surety rank 2 from my merc. No weapons or other buffs. Yes this was painfully slow to watch but at least we have a baseline defensive parse. /GU Tanking summary for: Jibartik --- Total Melee --- Da...

Air pets are exceptional against one mob at a time due to their stun. However they also suck something fierce when it comes to more than one mob because their innate mitigation and avoidance is terrible. Also yes, there was a pretty big nerf to pet power awhile back. If you plan on having your pet t...

I'm the kind of petty twit that holds grudges. I'm sure paypal is fine most of the time but for some reason I have really bad luck with it. Out of the five times I've used it twice have ended in a pretty big oops on their part with a completely unsatisfactory "resolution". I'll look into P...

paypal can sit and spin on a cactus. Do you by chance have another method I can send you a bit of money? I can only afford $25 now, is that enough to give us an alternate way of donating?

So with the changes I'm curious how the damage spikes are now. I might try and do some parses on Shoon or Roon just to see if things have changed enough to warrant giving additional info to mages and dev's. Do you have any other mobs that would give more relevant parses? There's still the high guard...

I've noticed it on both sides of the fence (my primary alt is a sk). While playing Tweelis this change is a great tool. Having melee toons dps is fantastic. Even playing my sk it's getting some getting use to but all in all I'm enjoying it. Granted it takes some work to get agro off a pet but doing ...

I remember you from forever ago. Welcome back! Anyway, if you're a solo/group mage we're still in pretty good shape. I can't speak to the new expansion as I still haven't purchased it yet but up through TDS we're doing fine. Raiding on the other hand....going on third hand information but in the rai...

So yea, I have been super busy with life outside the game. I do still play, just not at the level I use to. Anyway according to Jmag our pets are going splat even with dimensional armor. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/too-many-nerfs-to-mages.228947/ To be fair I haven't even c...

While there are some boxers/groups with a few magicians the pet wall armies like you're reading about on the progression servers don't really exist elsewhere. I currently play on Bertoxx/Saryrn but also have toons on Bristlebane. Raiding past House of Thule is alive and well. While I imagine some gu...

If I remember correctly when you have the pet sit command active then send your pet to engage a mob it'll beat the mob up. When the mob(s) are dead your pet will sit where it finished fighting. I to use to use this command like you described but when the changes occurred I no longer use sit or guard...
