Summoners and the now not happening item degredation

[Gormak]

<p>as per brenlos post: <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/posts/list.m?topic_id=463784">http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/...topic_id=463784</a></p><p>This raises a concern for me.</p><p>If we now find that items are not going to degrade as we level, what of mythicals?</p><p>Summoners are unique in that their mythical pet *is* that good.</p><p>Should our pet still, as originally planned, stop scalling at 84, how is this going to be balanced against other classes?</p><p>You cant have summoners having their mythical outgrow its usefulness in this respect and (potentially) have other classes continue to gain full benefit.</p><p>Now we have no detail on what to expect yet. But im already concerned. Track records of balancing items and what not are not good. Be very careful here sony.</p>

<p>That post doesn't have anything to do with the pets. All that means is we can keep using our current gear without worrying about it degrading past level 80. The next line of pets is still going to be a significant improvement over the myths, allowing us to have options again.</p>

<p>I think you are missing the point Deveryn.</p><p>Without the item degradation, the mythicals of other classes retain their full usefullness up to lvl 90. While our one good thing about the mythical, namely the pet, stops being useful at lvl 84.</p><p>It does not matter that our t9 pets are better. Thats just the natural progression of a full tier. We still loose that special mythical pet, that is better than our <strong>normal</strong> pets.</p>

<p>yeah ... you are completly right <span >Tarannon ! pet-caster are the only classes which we loose a large party of the power of their mythicals once again completly unfair <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></span></p><p>Thise problem need to be adressed by the developers. Not changing this somehow is another slap in the face of one of the most useless classes (necro & conjuror). However we are used to getting ignored !</p>

<p>Until you see the changes to Mythicals, how can say anything at all?</p><p>The current thinking is that the Mythical is going to "somehow" become a charm or have a special slot for it.  There has been no confirmation of this, that's just a rumor.  Still, looking at it from that perspective, who is to say that the Summoner Mythical doesn't bestow some godly buff on "qualifying pets" once it is in that slot?</p><p>Relax and wait for the leaks.</p>

<p>Gee, don't  you summoners love whining?</p><p>Don't you think it's absurd that an item spawns a super duper pet for summoners?  It should be either part of the class or buff your other pets if your other pets are not as good.</p><p>Otherwise, new summoners will have to get the mythical if developers balance summoners on the mythical pet even at level 90, which is absurd!</p>

[thog_zork]

<p>i do not get your argument at all because if mythicals remain some power (which they will) everyone have to redo them and everything and avery class have to be balanced with them in mind!</p>

I'll wait to see what they plan when NDA is lifted. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
