Monk Pet

[Uanelven]

We had a monk pet in eqlive.    Who would love to see one here?  <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

What exactly did the monk pet achieve that was different?

<DIV>We once had monk-pets, many lu's before. They looked the same as the patchwork fleshripper golems in nektulos forest.</DIV> <DIV>It combined good tankabilities with a nice dps.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I miss my bruiser-pet. *sniff*</DIV><p>Message Edited by subaridu on <span class=date_text>06-09-2006</span> <span class=time_text>03:14 PM</span>

Maybe well get an undead monk pet dumbfire in the adventure pack <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I think having a necro pet with its own pet/dumbfires would be pretty cool, of course it would never happen :smileyvery-happy:

<P>Imagine of you could have a summoner pet, who could summon a summoner pet, and so on ad nauseum. That would be cool.</P> <P>:smileyvery-happy:</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>I so wish our tank pets had the avoidance and DPS of a Brawler class.</DIV>

<DIV>when i first created my necro bruiser was still a pet, and it was an option at lvl 20 for M2 choice.  that was an awesome pet back in the day.  i think that conjuror fighter pets are monks tho?  im really not sure but their fighting style seems to be similar to one.</DIV>

Weren't they called training choices back then and it was adept 2 quality not master 2?<div></div>

Actually, I like the idea of having a Monk pet, and choices on the pets. Maybe they should of given us two different pets, and just a choice of which ones. Like a warlock OR assasin and bruiser OR berserker. I like the idea of having unique characters <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<DIV>I agree that the necro bruiser pet was good, but again it was a tad overpowered. (people asked me to use that instead of mage even in groups) becuase it could keep good agro, do nice dps and didnt die screaming like a little well, zombie. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But I don't think id like to see it back. People are already crying/whining about necro being "overpowered" while imo we arent. (yes we are T1 pre LU24, no I dont mind being T3 after) And still, I like the new pets better. (Diseased Servant / Gargoyle) So imo getting that skin back would be a degrading in our pet line.  </DIV>

Just not way out there on top tier. We will see after the servers come up though if SOE keeps to that statement. The whole post (and a lot of whining from Sorcerers because we'll be equal dps in most groups) can be found under the Developers Roundtable section.</P><p>Message Edited by Suraklin on <span class=date_text>06-14-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:33 AM</span>

<P>well I know SOE and theyre "it will not be so bad" statements, most of em are false.</P> <P>But necro is so much more then just a DPS that I wont mind if they lie to me this time</P>
