Increasing the Personae casting time to 10 seconds...

[Nephretiti]

<div>Just a quick question here:  I understand the DevTeam feeling the need to screw us illusionist over - it is an inate feeling for them - so they increased our casting time to 10 seconds - just like every other "pet class".  The question I have is this:  Do we get a lower recast timer to compensate?  As it is we have to wait a minute before recasting our pet - do summoners?</div><div> </div><div>And who in the hell determined that we are a PET CLASS?  If you're going to treat us like one then give us some better friggen pets.</div>

Any post that starts out with "SOE HATES MY CLASS" is pretty much doomed.<div></div>

<div></div>Yeah...that really bugs me.  People act as though somebody is out to get them.  It's a progression, people: they're never going to "get it right" 'cause that's not the point.  You just keep changing things and tweaking things and enjoy the ride.

<div></div>You can point all you want - the proof is out there AND in this post - why were Illusionists nerfed YET AGAIN?  If they want to call us a pet class what is the problem with them letting us summon new pets as fast as the other 'pet classes'?  If they want to call us a pet class then why cant they give us a pet that doesnt die in 2 hits?

<div></div>Oh, I agree completely that they nerfed the heck out of Illusionists...that's why I put mine on the shelf until they do something about it.  My point was simply that everyone is tired of hearing, "SOE hates me," and it really is a bad way to get things done.

<div></div><p>As it stands now - Dev obviously thinks that Illusionists pets are superior to every other pet.  We just nerfed to a casting time of 10 seconds.  Yet we have to KEEP our recast timer of 30 seconds - while the other 'pet classes' have a recast timer of 0.0 seconds.  In fact, Illusionist pets are SO uber that they take of 3 conc slots as opposed to every single other pet taking only 1.</p><p>And yet - some of you want to say that my 'SOE is out to get me' attitude is wrong?</p>
