Necro pet nerf?

[Feklar]

WTF LOL this is from todays patch Notice npc's with no legs will kick anymore if our pets didnt suk enough?

*** NPCs ***

- Updated the character models for many NPCs throughout the world. This includes changing Illusion: Werewolf to use the new werewolf model.
- The corpse summoners in the guild lobby are no longer fooled by shrouding down to lower levels before handing in a soul stone.
- Creatures without legs have lost the ability to kick.
- The treants in Theater of Blood that have been shedding hooves and horse meat will no longer do so.
- Lowered the hit points and increased the respawn time of the door that leads from Devastation into Stronghold of Rage to make access to Stronghold of Rage easier.
- The angry and hurt Faydedar that Dolgin helps people bait no longer has any viable meat on him.
-Terrorantula's children should no longer warp across the desert.
- Summoning a horse should no longer upset nearby NPCs.

They nerfed npc's on a case-by-case basis. We'll have to see once the servers are up if our pets got nerfed or not.

If they now don't kick (the spectres) they may do another form of attack. If they do neither, then we got at least 2 nerfs in 1 patch...

whats the other nerf?

Tier 1 and 2 OOW robes.

No, our class corraspondant forwards on our complaints of being raped left and right, yet we somehow still manage to function. We're working as intended then.

Then the people who's mains are other classes come here and see that we're still a viable class and they go whine in the Vet forums for another nerf for us.

Kytheria eventually locks the nerf thread after the prerequisite 18 pages of everyone else agreeing that XXX class needs a nerf.

Blah, I was hoping they didn't (I just never have pets hit on to check). We coulda used that to leverage new pet models!

And it likely would have been taken in the same fashion as previous justifications for new pet models- ignored.

Yes, true optimism would be giving us new models.

Undead snakes. They don't kick, quad, or proc a lifetap. They are unable to stun, and have a one point venom DD that procs once per summoning, with no resist modifier. 2000 Mana to cast, consumes snake scale, bone chip, and blue diamond dust as reagents.

I miss flying kicks from pets.
