Huge HP mobs

[NiteHawk]

We did Flame Sally tonight:

Earth ninja, Fire ninja, Storm stalker, Ice zerker, Ice priest, Earth priest. Stalker used a VERY tanky reindeer pet. Fight took about 13 minutes and was moderately healing intensive. I think the reindeer pet took a lot of load off heals as it absorbed an awful lot of hits.

Fight felt a lot better time wise, it wasn't so draining. Healing wise didn't feel harder even with the higher damage but I think this was because of Raindear (yes that's how he spells it, smh) the tank god.

All in all it felt much better, and we also had a better comp for it which helped even more.


Re: Plushies
They feel so much better now, thank you. Didn't get a chance to fight the giant as he was already dead, oh well.

reindeer pet? Is there some stupid pet that got past me that has something stupid? I'd assume though a pet overall can generally help with tank though defo. Cool to see rangers usefulness, hopefully it's not a stupid pet that got past me though.

Reindeer pet aye. I frankly don't know how strong it is compared to other pets. It did tank very well for us, but that's not necessarily bad if it's not also doing huge damage or healing ya? Anyways the pet was also getting focus healed so not like it was just absorbing damage all on its own.

I don't see any reindeer pet, the only pet I see thats a deer is a meadow deer. That's a level 1 mob, granted it won't be terrible at level 25 though.

It's from the xmas area. I forget the exact name.

[NiteHawk]

Well, they weren't supposed to be tamable.

They uh, are a bit overpowered.

[NiteHawk]

Yeeeeh, so uh. Those monsters aren't supposed to be tamed.

They have triple the HP of regular mobs, 80 AC (which is highest) damage is the same, int is high.

Uuugggh I just fixed rangers too. I'm going to have to talk to people who have them but I'll let it be for a couple days. I don't have time to deal with it.

that means they get something stupid like 130 ac with deers too. Though with the high int they good healing.

And this is why I've just disallowed them making pets now. I restricted the christmas pets too but this won't fly.

Yeah I kinda figured the reindeer was too good. It was honestly better in the party than a cav, derp.

RIP Raindear, you'll be missed.

Anyways. In general pets with 1 attack have 4 taunt level, pets with 2 attacks have 3 taunt level (default) and pets that have 3 attacks have 2 taunt level. sorc/necro pets have 3 taunt. I've adjusted most of the npcs now and such.

I also removed the Christmas pets. while I think its a GREAT idea to have unique pets being released, it needs to be done properly. I'm not saying they cant be UNIQUE in some ways, but overpowered is a messy thing to deal with. I will look into this more next time we have some events, probably easter. People were awarded the rare soul gem for the loss of the pet if it was their active pet, and any items lost. Super sorry, had to be done though. I will try to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Thanks!
