Tellurian Champ mitigation

[Depheni]

It seems like Tel. Champ damage mitigation has decreased alot ? The pet doesnt seem to be able to hold its own at all againsts mobs it had no probs before. Either the pet has changed - or temporal haven ? or some combo of one of those two or enhance earth pet and soemthing else.I tried the same fights i did before the expansion, fighting green heroics in Nest and Forsaken city and in both cases the pet couldnt hold anywhere near as well as before.Has anyone else noticed such a thing ?Cheers<div></div>

<p>Has this changed any since this thread was posted?  I do often feel like my lizard is more fragile than it ought to be.. which is why I grow envious of necromancers having twice the healing capacity...</p>

sine the AP changes recently my pet actually feels stronger due to the alteration of the hp increase that is now the 4th stamina ability.

Nothing has changed about the Champions. What's changed with EoF is more mobs are using their debuffs rather than simply whacking the pet. Mobs will decrease Parry / Defense, Mitigation and Magical Resists making the pet take more hits / more damage. Just game mechanics and the mobs you are fighting. Pick mobs that are melee based and don't have a whole lot of debuffs and you'll be fine solo'ing, Casters just plain suck to fight with the Champ.

you're using T5 m2 stance over T7 M1 stance? or did i read that wrong.

BTW, aeeron, love your pvp video...nice use of the tank pet. I just HAD to try something different since they gave us the respec card to toy with. As I said, non-tank spec and I can do PP even being noob enough to forget my pet healing staff in the bank <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.

thx bro..making a new video atm too. Im not really tank or scout spec. I am 4-4-4-8 strength and 4-4-4-8-1 intelligence. This left me with 5 points leftover which i put into stamina for shockwave. Been messing with scout pet [Removed for Content] some fighters and stuff lately but nothing beats the golem w/ planeshift <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I easily was dominating them until I get whacked with that. One fight was still classic, he PTed me and went down to zero health with my DOT. I died and he was able to get back up since he never actually "died". The most any of them have had when I got done is 11%.
