What the hell did sony do to us now?? my adpt3 thrall with a master 2 defensive stance cant take a hit to save my life now.... its pathetic on how poor my pet tanks today. <div></div>

<P>Sorry but I dont know what you are talking about, my pet still tanks no problem as before.</P> <P>Maybe the problem is pet s defensive buff you using , I hate those ,they suxor, I use master 2 pet buff lv 44 and now I use the lv 54 offensive buff as well and it rules+ my master I dieased servant it tanks the hell .Can solo 3 arrow up lv 50 mobs and pet dont lose agro not a once while I overnuke the mob.</P> <P>on other hand if I use my pet s ad3 defensive buff then it suxor, real low dps and loses agros and if I pull the mob instead pet it have harder problems to take agro since the part of defensive buff to generate agro requires mob to hit pet and if you pull the mob your self pet with defensive will take longer to et mob off you.</P> <P>I am offensive buffs all the way,I still did not find a single use for defensive, it is totaly broken and requires some fix.What I can recomment to you to do atm is just use offensive buffs, it is liek same tank capability with much more dps.</P> <P> </P> <P>Allowen</P> <P>54necro</P> <P>Mistmoore server</P> <P> </P>

<P>I dont know CADD my ad3 thrall held aggro like a champ with the defense buffs.</P> <P>The dis Servant is abit worse in holding aggro but that is prolly cuz its only ad1 atm.</P> <P>Maybe a tip: As long as you're not doing heroics the Assasin+offensive stanse Rules at holding aggro and he is doig nice dps while at it.</P>

<P>Ive noticed that before the update my assassin pet made a pretty decent tank but as of yesterday he really cant tank anything without a heal tossed on him every fight and if hes fighting multiple npc's you can forget it.</P> <P>Also before the 27th my assassin pet could take aggro of a whole group and I couldnt peel the npc's off of him now I cast 1 or 2 spells and I spend all my time tanking.</P>

<DIV>little more detail</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>my thrall typically does very well and since revamp holding aggro has been easy.  but my thrall can't do a thing against the guards right now.  something has affected my summoner abilities as well as my guild leaders conjuror.. in grp we both were getting owned like we never have before since revamp.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

While I can't say that my Thrall's perfomance is pathetic, I can definately tell that something changed yesterday.   Either my Thrall holds agro less effectively or my DOTs/Heals are causing more hate.  This is seen, at least for me, when fighting 3-4 2 or 3 down arrow creatures.  When fighting 1-2 creatures it doesn't seem to be a problem. I do have to heal a bit more often as well.... <div></div>

<P>Ive noticed this recently too.  I use the 52 tank pet ad3 with the master 2 defensive buff.  Its seems that I can pull aggro off him easier than I could a few days ago, but its still manageable.  I just cant go all out like I was, and I found this out the hard way when I was doing a Grifters quest and a I gained aggro on a ^^ monk mob and was very quickly stunned and quaded and killed : (.  Also when killing groups of 3-4 vv mobs I seem to pull aggro more easily with my AEs, but its usually not a problem because they are so weak.</P> <P>I dont know if it was a silent nerf to our pet's taunts or if its my imagination.  Either way, doesnt seem game breaking - I'll just have to watch my aggro more.</P>
