How about giving our water pets a snare spell? Earth pet has root, so doesn't it make sense? Ever tried moving fast in water?
Wrong direction, imo. Water pet should be the healing pet. High proc rate -agro Target-of-target heal.
Not really seeing snare as a huge deal with the way EQ has progressed. Back in the day, snare pet would have been really beneficial. Now it would seem lackluster at best imho. I do think the pet only having a nuke is really a bad choice. The proc could use a change considering Air and Fire both have DD procs. Heal for the tank would be nifty. Pretty much anything different would be a step in the right direction at this point. However, I do not see them investing time in changing the proc.
my pet will not take the entwined hammer, used to but now will not, level 110 mage with XXV enhanced minion
Water pet is a rogue, with back stab why would it snare.......and someone said healing?.... its a rogue!
There are the whips from Splitpaw that proc snare. I have also found the higher level air pet stun can effectively work as sort of a snare on fleeing mobs.
About the only change I would make is the option to stop casting and stick to the MOB. Nothing like a fleeing MOB going for help and the stupid Water pet stops pounding it to cast which lets the MOB get out of melee range.
Not had good past experiences when they mess with pets... However, a choice for buffs would be great... Prism skin proc with choice: ice nuke, ToT heal proc, bring back Malo proc, and a Hate proc would be great... Earth pet still stinks for agro. Snare proc unnecessary on current content, and I would think would make magicians a bit too powerful on TLP. Has always been the Achilles heel for magicians, since ring of slime removed.
