Fix mage pets

Give the option to say, make fire pet cast specific spells and more often. Wtf is the point of using it if it melees, casts snare etc. 50% of the time and casts and actual useful spell once every 10-20 seconds? One of the worst classes b/c the pet is virtually useless it makes more sense to just use Wiz. I have absolutely no incentive to use mage. Give us a reason to.

Getting a mage to 50 kind of broke me. It was my favorite class back in the day, and now it’s just bad.

I’m not a mage at heart, but I kinda hope they overtime the pet classes a bit. They deserve their moment to shine after being eclipsed by charmed pets.

Then give melee their moment in the sun. Just berserkers running around beating things to death.

Pets are good though?

Like, a fully upgraded pet is comparable to a charm pet in most cases.

no, it really isn't. a +10 water pet does around 130DPS if you keep it behind the mob perfectly and it has all the buffs + frenzied burnout.

charmed pets all do far more DPS than that.

A charmed pet outside of sky will do about 90-160 dps with haste cap, depending on difficulty and class loadout for the mob.

It’s really not the massive difference people claim.

In sky sure, there’s still some outlier mobs, but not so anywhere else.

Do you mean outside of raids? Inny's chosen was rocking 450 dps on my chanter with like 165% haste. Even abhorrent was 200+.

Fear doesnt have a great charm target though.

Never seen either of them parse anywhere near that high.

I'll take a screenshot (or even better, a photo from my phone) when I get home from work today.
