how are coercer and illusionist suposed to solo without parry? we dont do huge nukes like warlock or wizards and we dont have a pet that can tank and our spells still fizzle even on greys. <div></div>

Yes, I was wondering this too.  I was awaiting to see what improvements for Summoners they put in.  I was disappointed when I read this update on the Test forum.  Hopefully they add a 2nd update to LU#7.

<P>Dear GOD!!!! I was looking forward to being able to use more than just my stinking earth pet for once let alone not SUCKING at the higher end game.</P> <P>Please if you forgot to fix this stuff than at least tell us it will definatly be in live update #8 instead of just not bothering to say anything about it at all. </P> <P>All my hopes where resting on this update to fix our pets and all you did was make their command interface a little better. im sorry but i had no problem with the interface we already had or the commands! I just want all of my different pets to serve a purpose and have decent dps.</P>

<P>The new pet control system was simply needed, try doing raid mobs and pet going mad on everything that hits it with an ae </P> <P> </P> <P>Thats not fun for all the raid and quite shamefull for us conjurors</P>

I believe that in necro forum dev's said they would be fixing pet dps in LU#8 now

Basically we got shafted again. My character is also an alchy so I'm feeling the love double from Sony. If I hadn't put 49 days into my character I'd have blown his brains out 20 levels ago.I haven't been able to get an experience group in a week. Necros are just not a good class at high level. We do less damage than an assassin and much less than a wizard or warlock - can't take a hit anywhere near what a scout can - dont have some nice group root, or a good root at all for that matter, so mobs lap around to us after 1 gets on the pet - pet dies to grey ^^ npcs - the only group utility spell is at 48, a revive, wiz's get the best group util in the game, evac, at lvl38 - god I need to stop now but I could go on for a day. And then I could rant on the Alchy. Feel the love

I failed to mention that I grouped with a wizard today and as we were killing level 39 lizardmen in feerrott she was killing one with 2 spells and I couldn't even get a DOT off (4 second cast time on whithering and she would kill them in 3 seconds). I was so useless. I switched to just skinrot and barely chipped at the lizardmen as she proceded to wipe them out and used practically no power. I throw everything I got at a high ^^ npc - all my power - and she out does me with 2 spells and her power bar barely moves.
