comparing FZ or vanish to what that ml9 pet buff does to the game is just plain dumb.

Both of those are handy little tools which gives watered down stealters a chance against low RR low-middle tiere visuals. Where as the ml9 ability is just quite simply horendously overpowered. (and yes the PVE overpowered point is another massive factor)

Just a shame its gonna take about a year before a nerf comes (if it ever does), and all the retard mode players gonna be queueing to get tooled up with their auto-I-win mode class.

sorry for being so cynical but its whats gonna happen. I mean its a hard job to balance up all the classes and abilities in this game for sure, but it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see how way off they are with this one... (made more annoying that my ass is on the receiving end of this overpowered ability)

You do know the pets still folow the same rules as one without summoning mastery, i.e it can be cc'd, outrun, and all the other things that you do to avoid it.
The pet has to be buffed to do damage like that otherwise it only hits for 300ish

In RvR it's powerful, but can at least be counteracted. In PvE it's stupidly overpowered. Nothing should be able to solo level 70 mobs.

Wonder if any sorc's have tried soloing a keep yet? Would be worth a go - and I reckon that, without any player intervention, it would be possible. Might make Mythic sit up and take notice.

EDIT: Maybe someone should try a three ML9 sorc relic raid. It'd have to be an alarmclock raid to work, but I'd just like to see if it could be done... now that really WOULD make Mythic patch it fast.

well an ml9 pet for the other convoker pet classes are easily spottable as a giant pet following the caster be warned about tanking mushrooms with the name war harbinger above their head :)

because it doesnt show on mushrooms they remain the same size and tbh focus casters with convoker are better than other pet classes because the focus shield does the damage and the pet absorbs it all :) my ml9 fully buffed mushroom cant make even a dent on certain mobs because they parry or evade or block Some mobs do die i took it too galladoria and only managed to kill 3 mobs down there and that took me 15 minutes :D

also using pets does leech rps so its a case of do you use the pet for 50% rps or do you nuke properly for 100% rps.

bullshit, Templars hit their cap often unbuffed . Seen them cap on r9 + BM's and on r10 casters. but mostly they hit for only 500-600 unbuffed. Swingspeed of that sword is like 6.0 or 7.0 so it's normal that cap is so high.

but ye those pets are easily CCable, 1min mez, 1 min root and you have a perma CC'd pet.

Maybe the damage of the 2h pets is op, they are very rare (undead troll and templar is only pets i know ) and it's a pain to go to those spots every time you die. mostly i don't bother getting those pets if i'm grouping.

should have clarified im talking about sm pets as they intercept so mez can be broken.
As for templars. mez poison/fz,no more pet as you said. its not rocket science.

I might add that when I use ML9 pets and send them after a random target
the smart ones turn around and slam/root/stun/snare/mezz them.
They then run off and my pet almost never catches up with em again.

The ones who are simply running from the pet will just keep getting
hit in the back and eventually die.

The thing is that it takes me anything from 15-30 minutes to get that fotm pet
and to get it buffed up etc. So this is not a I win situation every time I meet someone.

Most of the time I simply get the nearest pet and they sure as hell dont
hit for over 500dmg per hit. Maybe on casters with crappy resists but more
like 300 dmg on tanks.

Besides the dmg you talk about also require a lvl 50 enh bot.

Stealthzerg or not ML9 sorceror pet IS retarded.

yep, SM/Caba/Chanter pet is not overpowered when ML 9'd cabby pet only hit for 650 as a spirit cabby with haste for the pet etc and can't be CCed :touch:

Can we find something else to whine about?

Ml9 Convoker / SOI / Zephyr are all getting quite repetitive.

how about using some tactics or thinking things through b4 u start whining.

1. gather ur usual little stealthzerg
2. when u see ur sorc, fz from stealth and shout "fire at will" to the troops
3. sorc gets some nice "you cannot cast while riding" spam when he trys to fire soi/ml9 buff
4. dead sorc cursing fz and stealthzergs

now im not saying that the ml9 thing is not overpowered coz it most definetly is a bit ott in pve (done most of ml9 with just me, Annisa & Sculptor. also a lot of arti encounters in duo with bbot).

Pff, 700 a shot? In Brite's video around the 9:30 mark you get to see ML9'd 2h hammer pet hit a buffed infil for what looks like 1333(-226). Hard to see exact numbers due to quality, and resists aren't maxed obviously but still...

think the bd didn't use ml9 convoker ability, since he used banespike in the same fight.. must have been juggernaut or something

it was sick damage though yeah, thought it was around 1k

Yep its Juggy + Banespike which gave the Boney pet that kinda dmg.

ML9 pets are stupid; I mean they nerf animist so an animist cant 'solo' encounters yet they give every pet-class with access to convoker the ability to do it ?

Put ML9 chanter pet on Glacier Giant; went fine and pet barely took damage (while hitting GG for 120); until suddenly GG decided to port the poor chanter back to Ligen (yes inside the frontier keep!)
