Would like to see what you all think

<p>Something I've been thinking about, and Im just brainstorming here .. not sure how well it could be implemented.  With the raise in level cap and the need to introduce new spells/aa ect as the game grows, and the anamilist line for druids ... I was thinking ... since everyone would like to see Beastlords make a reappearance (and I never played EQ so Im not really sure what that entails - but I did play creature handler in SWG and they sound KINDA similar) maybe we could incorperate a bit of the feel to druids.  </p><p>My idea would be to introduce an AA line that would complement the Anamilist.  This would be spells that would give you 1 (at lowest level) to 3 (at highest level) charmed pet spells.  These spells would store the information of the animal that you charmed and allow these animals to be come your permanent pet.  You would be able name these pets just like all other pet classes.  Your first pet would be the same strength that the anamilist charmed pets are now.  Calling a second pet would combine then divide the strength of the two pets to be only slightly more potent than a single pet, and same with calling a third pet.  Other features that could be added to this "Beastlord Anamilist Druid" (hehe ... BAD class) would be pet specific buffs/heals, animal-type encounter mez, additional animal forms for the caster, ect.  </p><p>Just a thought.  Would love to see what others think of this.  As an Anamalist Warden, I persoannly would love something like this.  But what is good for the goose isn't necessarily what is good for the gander so to speak.</p>

<p>Id be happy if they make charm animal take 1 conc and make the charm active untill cancelled at least that would be fun while soloing.</p>

IMHO, I don't like this idea at all.  There are already pet classes such as the Illusionist, Coercer and Necro that would really feel bad about having their toes stepped on.  I support the idea of a Beastlord class, but I do not support the idea of adding pets to the already very versatile Druid classes.  IMHO, if you want to introduce that class and/or AA's it needs to be an extension of one of the current pet classes.

The Beastlord in EQ1 was a hybrid monk/shaman with a wolf pet that could actually tank.  Not to mince words, it was an overpowered class, which is why so many would like to see it and just as many others would hate to see it.  It was a fun class, no question about it.  Basically a soloers dream class, in many ways.  Basically, you had two fighters and a healer in one class.
