Our pets are 3 down aswell, so got uber less xp, they are completely useless dps wise and die in a second. But you won't find a whining post about this issue from my side. I was reading some forums and remarked this post, got abit upset cause defiler is an uber class and yet they whine, it's cause SOE listen to whiners like some people in the thread that Everquest2 get destroyed. And I feel the need to enlight abit about our (warden) class aswell.
About Ixnay post, we don't have swarm pets, our only pet are 4 triple arrow downs and do good as no dps in fights. Our pets do indeed abit more dps but they die as fast as yours so that's total crap right there. Defilers should be happy they got the huge upgrade in the big combat revamp, as for wardens they got nerfed to an almost total useless class. Check the warden forum and face an almost total dead forum cause the many wardens that quit the game. Stop posting lies, get your facts straight and have fun with your uber class.
