<DIV>1) Useless Spell #1 - Root - Last about 7/18th's of a second and 90 percent of the time doesn't stick (yes, Im using a white con spell vs. a white con mob)  If our root was anywhere near the chanter's mez, I might be somewhat happy...</DIV> <DIV>2) Useless Spell #2 - Stun - Shouldn't this also last more than 1/32nd's of a second and actually, I don't know, say, *stun* the target? (see above for con retort)  The monster just looks like it should be affected by the cool looking spell (it didn't say Resisted above its head), but just keeps on hitting with zero descernable affliction from the spell.</DIV> <DIV>3) AWOL adept spells - the spells that I do have of adept are useless [See 1) and 2) above] I'm exaggerating mildly, I think I do have one dot at adept lvl thats rather effective.  Wh00t!</DIV> <DIV>4) Pet doesn't "Back Off" after its been hit by a mob.  What happens is this:  I see some Motley Kodiaks in the woods (I won't mention having to step around all their doo-doo) and I want to pull them back to a safe area (if there is such a thing in Nek Forest) and so I sic my pet on the bear.  The pet hits the bear to get its attention and I tell my pet to "Back Off" which it prompty tries to do by turning and looking at me.  Then it walks about half a step and gets hit and stops and turns around to hit the bear biting its boney [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] off.  I say again, "Back Off"  it walks about half a step and gets hit and stops and turns around to hit the bear biting its boney [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot] off.  I think you get the picture... Ok so maybe I should't be pulling with my pet.  But what good is "Back Off" if it doesn't actually work when its being beat on mercilessly?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>all of the above = no contribution to a group = useless class</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Now I will make sure to give the positive side of the class to try to balance it out.  Its midly amusing because I have a pet and ...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Gwid</DIV>
