Pets and stealth

[xenny]

nerf

hunter pet has 2 be the worst,
so many times tis has happened to me,
you attack hunter,
hunter runs with stoopid speed thing,
hunter casts pet so u cant stealth bcoz they can always see u (no logic really imo)
u still chase hunter who keeps running till u get bored and attack pet to try and stealth,
hunter shhots you, you chase hunter he runs etc etc
you are dead

chanter pets are worse but i dont tend to be effected by these as much

sorry, but you're stupid then.

1) attack hunter with bleed style, dot poison, snare, disease. he can't use speed to get away unless he purges.
2) sprint towards the hunter and away from the pet. he may be annoying nibbling at you, but he crawls along like he has 3 legs.
3) carry endurance potions and buy longwind so you can chase the hunter for longer

if u dont use snare on a hunter u = sux

I fail to see the logic, and person can vanish into nothing in the in front of a persons eye.. in day light..

Ah well.

prob is they got endur buff ne way so they can easily outrun me and w8 for bleed+ dot etc to wear off, hopefully 1.62 will help a bit, snare is often resisted but i always use on my pa wep, wudnt mind if i lost 2 a hunter jus not bcoz i cant stealth due to a damn pet!

as for my contradiction soz about it but i'm jus damn peed off, it sux how u can stealth miles away from a pet and somehow they still manage to home in on u, tis like they got radar or sumthing :/

Hello

Wolf = scent??

Pets do have radar

I remember having my second cabi in BG1 I was witha lowbie friar mate, he gets killed by a cute little Luri, takes a shot at me as I come running over the hill, pet charges him and continued to follow him for 15mins, he kept running and trying to stealth, mean while i was trying to keep up with the pet was hilarious for me, as I finally got him with a Lifetap when he finally realised running was futile.

Pets rock, its nothing new

if so why when on agressive do they not find u in the area?
+ that dont explain chanter pets

seems really stupid to me that a low lvl pet can see something that a lvl50char cannot, give them a range like players have imo

I assume he thinks chanter, sm, etc pets are just animals in bipedal disguise

 

[old.LandShark]

I agree with everything said above - including 'nerf hunter pets', because while I don't mind being followed and I certainly don't mind the speed shout (pathetically easy to prevent even as an envenomless class), I really, really object hunters having been given a superb interuption/kiting tool when all they were supposed to get was a goddamn melee damage boost. Nerf.

 

[belth]

Rather give hunters a 75 damage damage-add than that bloody pet....
