Spirit intercept nerfed ?

[Rustane]

After 1.70 patch i have noticed some weird things with my spiritmaster ..
can it be that the spirit intercepts less now ?
Or that i am interrupted even tho spirit does intercept ?

either way i dont like it

 

[Elewyth]

You have my sympathies.

Not sure, but I'd say sm pets are still intercepting like mad. Intercepting perfs, intercepting whilst stunned etc. Not sure whether sm's are getting interrupted when pet intercepts, but the only case I can remmeber something like that maybe happening since patch was when a sm pet blocked 8 swings (4 dual wield hits) in a row, and the sm just ran around like a loon. He never even tried to stop and nuke me so I dunno whether that is the case now. I hope they are nerfed to be honest. Had a sm take me and a pally down whilst we were both meleeing him without the use of moc due to intercepts pre patch. 2 offhand hits and 1 styled mainhand hit. 2 brittle guards, 1 bladeturn, and 15 pet intercepts

Yes .. thats the way it used to be .. thats how no stealther ever had a chance against me .. but now i get killed by wee infs ..
will have to try it some more tho :/

 

[Xeanor]

would be nice if they nerfed it

The only thing that needs to be nerfed is the aggro range on pets. But that goes for all pet classes ingame.

aggro range is only like 300 units, hardly nerf worthy presumably you mean the range pets chase tho

Anyway, ml9 convoker on pets needs a nerf, tis rather stupid dmg from em then..

Sm pet is bound to be addressed (i imagine some kind of "You cannot buff your target" thingy or sumat).

Throw some shamman buffs to one and voila! you have a class with 90% melee inmunity n free moc against melee classes uke:

Oh please, let it be a fix

Nerf the bloody things, I can't be arsed using cowering bellow all the time to kill em.

Apparently on US cowering bellow is bugged since NF came out so it never hits (100% resist rate). Mine still seems fine tho.

Interesting, perhaps when I get less then 20 mids attacking me at once i'll get chance to test it.

lol edited my post damn you

like i said i dont think youll get any QQ support from anyone but mids tbh.. intercept pets are a pain in the arse.. add in insane debuff nuke speeds then tbh wtf are you doing to let someone reach you?

 

[Rustane]

I dont care what you filthy albs think about it .. i would just like to know if it can be true .. or if i am imagining it

Dont we have any [GM] reading this ? .. or someone that knows.

Btw i tested it while farming scrolls in ml5 dungeon last night and it seems to be working properly in pve .. not sure about rvr tho

 

[Elewyth]

well as a filthy alb perhaps we can meet up and let me duel you with my pet and see how your pet does.. im pretty sure PvE mechanics will be different since mobs dont have buffs specs or other things to take into account..

 

[Kelio]

tbh SM Pet > Pally with 50shield MoB5 MoP5 Bodyguard, Guard, Intercept

and you cry cause you acctually can get hurt now? :kissit:

Same here, scaring off therug pet spams just fine

Cabalist eh ? .. sure could be interesting .. never saw a solo caba before afaik.

Buffs does not affect intercept ability.
And yeah classes have their strength and sm are uber vs melee 1vs1, same as Shield tanks are 99% immune to archers, has been forever, do you want that fixed aswell? ,no?... necros 90% safe vs melee and archery etc etc..
Use Magix as albs always say when necros are mentioned...

 

[Flimgoblin]

SMs are also uber pbaoe bombs since your meleers won't be able to slam them to stun them and if they're moccing there's little else to stop them short of nuking them to death.

I miss STT.

 

[Chronictank]

id rather have a caba pet consta stunning tbh
unbuffed a sm pet hardly intercepts at all, its when u throw cap buffs into the equation things start geting imbalanced.
But back on topic, why dont stealthers put ae mez on their weapon b4 pa? then you would deem the pet useless.
A well equipped inf can kill a sm in under a second tbh

After 1.70 yes .. not before

Guess you run round with your eyes closed then. I've seen a lot of solo Cabbys since NF came out. 90% of my time in RvR since NF has been solo.

Back on topic.

The SM pet still intercepts like mad and takes stuff all damage when it does so. Wouldn't be so bearable if it dropped inside of a couple of good meelehits, like a Cabby pet does, thus ending the intercept, but it bloody doesn't.

I got into 2 fights with different SMs last night and on each occasion the pet intercepted EVERY BLOODY HIT!

Sorry, but when a caster is in melee range with a tank weilding a bloody great big sword, the only end result should be a dead caster, unless the SM has got support from a healer who is not being attacked. SM Pet = the most effective ablative armour in the game. At least other caster classes and healers have the decency to die when I hit them.

 

[izikiel]

make every realm have the exact same classes and only 1 race and there wouldnt be this whine! or better yet.. just play counterstrike!

Yeah, that line really doesn't work here.

Its a specific issue, with a specifc feature if a class, that is quite clearly demonstrated to be a little overpowered.

Either this shold be a) nerfed so the pet intercepts less often b) nerfed so the pet doesnt intercept at all or c) someone reveals a way in which melee classes can physically hit an SM without resorting to the use of artis, RAs or other sundry special abilities.

Yeh problem is just that pbae sucks these days and almost all sm's are dark specced
