So...

<DIV>1) NPC mitigation is zero, so our pets mitigation is now zero</DIV> <DIV>2) they change our defensive stance mitigation buffs to hps buffs.  so the pets mitigation is STILL zero</DIV> <DIV>3) they give us a new snare line and up the DPS on the scout pet</DIV> <DIV>4) they are suprised that people kite mobs</DIV> <DIV>5) so they nerf snare</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ok, so the tank pet can no longer tank anything hard, and we can't heal it enough to help.  Heck a priest class cant heal it enough... with zero mitigation it needs many times the heals that a normal tank would need.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The rogue pet was good for kiting but now is only good for grouping</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The warlock pet was never good for solo.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So... please tell me how I can solo anything that I can't personally tank.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>O yea</DIV> <DIV>6) mages and priests no longer have parry</DIV> <DIV>7) our ward line is now a tank pet buff (useless until the tank pet is adjusted)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So I can't tank as well as yesterday, which wasn't exactly a lot to write home about anyways.</DIV>

<P>You forgot to mention that 1-49 had its power regen nerfed with several changes.</P> <P>1. The pet buff no longer heals the pet over time.</P> <P>2. The conversion rate on our mana conversion is worse now.</P> <P>3. All of our heal spells require health now and the conversion rate is very poor at most its like 1.6 conversion at master 2.</P> <P>With those changes in order to get power back you basically have to tap your pet then heal him which takes away a boatload of your health and then lifetap an enemy to gain it back which will in turn use up more energy than you gained.</P> <P>Those that are 50+ have Lich to help them get power but those that are below 50 well your just SOL.</P> <p>Message Edited by borwin on <span class=date_text>09-13-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:15 PM</span>

You're forgetting that Lich has also taken a major hit with the nerf bat.  It drains so much health now and gives so little back in the added lifetap effect that in order to stay in Lich form, we have to constantly lifetap/AE Lifetap, which makes us get too much aggro so the mob turns on us and turns us into goo. <div></div>
