A new spell file 061712 is now available.

Created new 6.0 Pets for Beastlords, Enchanters, Mages, Necros, and Rangers.

These pets are clickies off their Epic 6.0 weapons. For the Ranger, it'll be off the swords, not the bow.

These clickies are all 5 seconds casting time to summon, and 60 seconds recast time.

The new recast timer type is 58 to separate the timer for any other epics. Later will edit other previous pet clickie epics to be the same timer type of 58 to separate those clickies from other epic clickies.

You'll notice the new pets are a LOT stronger with more HP, Damage, AC, etc.

Some 4.0 - 5.0 Pets have been made stronger as well, with more HP, etc.

Testing new idea of giving pets to Rangers (Sort of like Hunters in WoW). Currently its only for the Rangers Epic 6.0 Sword. If this works out and everyone likes it, then I'll add them Epics previous to the 6.0 as well.

Planning to add spells to each of the pets to make them all special or different from each other, such as Necro pets get life taps, etc. Might make Mage pets do some high DD nukes, enchanter Pets rune a group, etc.

Might create Druid and Shaman Epic 6.0 Pets later, depends on my mood, feedback, and time.

Enjoy!

Hunter

Looks like I'm 6.0ing my Mage next!

Forgot to mention, the 6.0 pets should have a ball park of 750,000 HP to help surviving. High Regen too.

omg omg omg :D

I'm super excited!  Thanks Hunter!!!!!!

Just a question but what is the reason for ranger geting the pet over the bard..... They accually have charm and such.

Bards are already too awesome! =p

Dont have any 6.0 pets yet alone a 5.0, heheh but we all appreciate everything your doing Hunter, Thanks.

I can't recall off hand, but I don't think Rangers get pet affinity AA.  Would you consider adding it in, so the new pets can get the benefit of group heals and buffs, please?  :)

I might be wrong but i am pretty sure aas are handled though the emu and as such are not able to be added

You are wrong. :)  AAs are able to be changed in the database to give them to additional classes, add new ones, etc.

I'll think about it when I have time :)

I didn't get any parse data, but I can tell you that a T6 Ranger Pet was summoned and did not last through the first full round of melee against the Girplan Slavemaster.

Loving beast 6.0 pet. I can tell the dps is a bonus and it's hps are alot higher cause he dont die in t5 easy to reposte

Updated Pet Affinity to be for all classes in the AA's table. Hopefully it works after reboot.

Ranger Pets are over 3 million HP for now (after reboot), just for fun.

Enjoy!

Now ranger pet can tank OMM lol

Any changes to 4.5 pets? or any plans to update them to 4.5 status from 4.0?

Excited to try out the ranger pet with pet affinity, thanks Hunter! I was wondering if you might consider a similar update allowing the AA Pet Discipline (/pet hold command) for all classes? Either way thanks again for the pet updates :)

Hopefully not until knight weapons are updated...

I'm not sure about any other pet besides beastlords, but imo all .5 pets sucked. Ya i know they were different, but honestly any difference in the pets from 4.0-5.0 would make them to op for t5 which is where you'd get them. So i think 4.5 pet should just be over looked cause it seems like more work to change them and balance then to just say eh there good enough. That would only make people want 5.5 pets and i just think its a waste of hunters time. As far as knight epics, i'd hope just the click would change not the healing dmg cause there already good enough imo.

Hunter,

Any chance of getting "Pet Discipline" aa for /pet hold on chanters and other pet masters that don't already have it?

Cheers
Flik

Sure, after next reboot.

Thank you Bossman

On the topic of spreading AAs around, how about Jewelcrafting Mastery and Weapon Affinity for all classes? Sony eventually knuckled down and gave them to everyone on live.

Edit: This wouldn't suddenly make druids/clerics/shamans overpowered, as they can only use Icestrikes.

Weapon Affinity would be nice to see on clerics heh

Cleric kinda has the double whammy of no weapon affinity and no procratemod like the loladin epic. Sure word of viv kicks ass, but a cleric SHOULD be the best healer since they can't tank.

Also with the new T5 paladin spell .. paladins have vivi as well.. BUT its on a longer cooldown 30sec instead of 4.5sec

Clerics do need some weapon affinity love! =p

Once the hammer pet NPC is fixed so it can actually proc heals I think clerics will be in better shape. Right now it's basically just an enchanter pet. I can understand why you shouldn't be able to hail it (it's supposed to be a hammer, not a floating pair of fireblades) but it should actually be a hammer :P

Any chance of the other epics not sure of which but o Know SK still needs a 4.5-6.0 update for the clickie if possible when get chance Thanks.
