Update notes were lost, Leroy had them in his hand when the Kraken showed up. :-( Watch the story unfold here!
Hopefully they are a second priority to correcting the pet issue the patch invoked. Pets appear to be now considered a separate group from their master so if they hit a mob before their master the encounter greys out and gets locked to the pet master. Rumors of fixing "pet pulls" are getting nothing but raised eyebrows. I am sure this was not intended. Why would SOE destroy half their classes by removing pet pulling in the game. Seems too silly to give credit to the rumors.
oh those are not rumors, this was a ninja pet pull nerf. yet the bellyfloping monks are punished in no way for doing the exact same thing. its fine kill mages off I for one have had it with sony and their need to constantly do stuff like this. why in the world would I not send my tank pet on the mob b4 my self....sorta defeats the purpose of tanking dosent it way to drop the ball.
Surely you jest. The art of pet pulling has long been a fine art indeed among the pet classes and the only thing which makes them a decent soloer. I too share the sentiments on the tank pets. I am very much looking forward to wearing plate armor though if we are no longer able to use tank pets and eagerly wonder what they will replace the spells and abilities with which are useless without the ability to pet pull.
Apparently there has been a "Band-Aid" hotfix applied to the live servers to resolve the pet issue, but to get back on topic . Patch notes are at https://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/index.php?threads/update-notes-wednesday-august-28-2013.539047/
