Reduction in duration to Swarm Pets - hurts soloers only!!

[Maroger]

<DIV>For necros the reduction of the duration of swarm pets from 1 Minute to 45 seconds at higher levels is really going to hurt in soloing. Fighting higher level mobs takes a lot longer as the mobs are much tougher. We really need the 1 Minute duration to our higher level swarm pets.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Maybe raiders don't need that 1 minute but soloers do so you are really hurting our ability to solo!!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You saw you want to support a variety of playstyles, but in effect you are only hurting the soloist with this change!!</DIV>

this will not hurt SOLOING, this can hurt only killing heroic mobs that are designed for small groups. stop wheeneying

Says the toon doing 2 or 3 tiers above his level in DPS. Oh, I decided to use DPS tiers for arguements, cause apparently enough crying like a little girl about DPS tiers can get anything you want done. Anyway, yes, the Swarm pets reduction in length, dmg, and additional timer on recast is going to DESTROY raid dps.

<P>Just like the Ratonga Bruiser said... this isn't going to hurt...  wait, a Ratonga Bruiser acting like he knows about Necro pets..ROFL</P> <P>From a person that actually plays a Necro and knows a little what I am talking about-this 45 secs is gonna hurt our ability to Solo.  Not a drastic hit-but coupled with the other reductions(especially the absurd reduction in tank pet damage) my ability to do what I do exclusively(soloing) is going to take a hit.</P> <P>cheers,</P> <P>Jerril</P>

this will not soloing and it has not hurt soloing. the only thing this might effect is raid dps, and the ability we have to take on mobs above our level

The only thing it will effect is Soloing....</P> <P> </P> <P>Gwern - 70 Assassin</P>

This will be hurting summoners... Look at it this way:If we were overpowered in DPS then we would be hitting mobs as hard as wizards do. As a conj... I die FAST. On top of that they are nerfing regular pets. The only good thing is a better heal. Does this really help? Sure I can keep my pet healed longer but the Swarm Pets are going to be a huge pain. I guess in the end they are just making our battles last longer. I am just super tired of having to re-learn this class. I am a casual soloer that has played my conj since lauch. This is becoming a pain. This is just my 2 coppers.

<DIV>What dps class takes more then 45s to solo a solo mob? Even my guardian can solo a one up arrow solo mob in 45s with his 2H.  /boggle</DIV>

There is no doubt that diminishing the duration of the swarm pets will damage conjurers. It is so obvious that there is no need for further discussion.</div>
