Ad1 pet weaker than app3 pet?

[Hogom]

<DIV>Hello everyone. I have been working on my primary alt, a necro, a good bit recently. I got my first necro tank pet, undying adherent and had been searching for an adept upgrade for it for some time. Finally got my hands on one, scribed it, and now my pet seems a good bit weaker than the app3 it was before. Is this correct or am I missing something? There aren't any real numbers to look at as far as the pet spells when I examine them so it is difficult to tell if I actually upgraded, or if it is like it feels, and just screwed myself... :smileysad:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The whole mage experience, let alone necromancer is pretty new and different to me, so it's very likely I have no idea what I'm doing... lol</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>edit: And yeah I read the FAQ, maybe I missed it but I didn't see mention of this in there.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Hogomon on <span class=date_text>07-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:21 PM</span>

<P>Pets from adept 3 to apprentice 1 are all the same.  Pet upgrading was broken a little while ago and it was decided that it wouldn't be fixed right now.  There's a dev post about it somewhere or other, I'm sure you'll find it if you search around a little.</P> <P>Simply put, your pet is equally as powerful now as he was before you upgraded (as per development team), probably just a perception problem.  The only way to truly tell if your pet is weaker is to parse damage before and after the upgrade though that's a hindsight kinda answer.</P>

Just whatever you do...don't upgrade the UA to master...it's alot worse

Yep,  its just a mind thing.   It's because the adept I is physically smaller than the apprentice II-IV .    This is because they clearly didn't have the time to sort the art on our tank pets.     Adept should be a different model.  Adept I has the correct small size but is the same zombie..  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>this really needs to be fixed...  willing to bet if a warlocks nukes or fighters taunts stopped scaling with upgrades it would be fixed asap...  My pet is my life line at some points...  i finally out leveled fallen hero, and now my pets seem worthless.</DIV>

<div></div>I know how you feel I leveled out of Fallen hero and my app4 UA is doing ok but I have leveld out of his range now too <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Grind fast to 38.6 for the Rotting thrall.  THats all i am thinking right now.
