Pet Changes for Sorc

Chims · February 2016

Anyone try these out on the PTS? I am pretty excited about the changes as it appears they made them a lot more useful which was a spot lacking previously.

Useful for what? PvE?

Chims · February 2016

Sure, the changes seem better than previously all around.

I hope the matriarch (imo the only good change)doesn't get nerfed before she goes live.

what about the other twilight? is the 50% damage noticeable?

Since I'm one of the raid leaders for my Guild I've spent most of my time on the PTS testing the new trial as opposed to working on my Pet Build. (See signature for link)

While I will update the build a couple of weeks after the TG launch, I think there are a few reasons to be excited about the Pet changes from a PvE perspective:

- The addition of active abilities to the morphs makes the pets feel more controllable
- Pet health regen increases their durability across the board
- The Sorc healers in my Guild are excited about the Twilights new heal, which is effective and affordable
- The Sorc DPS in my Guild have seen a small DPS increase with the Twilights new damage buff
- The Clannfear's heal does not require it to be in unsummoned or killed, which will benefit Sorc tanks and soloists

Recent PTS changes suggest increased viability in PvP (pets now stealth, Clannfear Pulse DPS increased) though significant issues remain (pets can be CC'd and do not break free, Twilight remains squishy, Wards cannot be refreshed until completely depleted)

Sweet, sounds like its going to be good then.

Check combat log. Twighlight is repeated lying healing itself constantly when active. Just a small heal though. But pressing the active ability for healing heals both yourself and the twighlight so it really should not be that squishy

I use the deadric pray Cuse morph which last 6 seconds and make pets do something like 60% more damage. 2 pets active and then ulti Storm Astro and curse = some pretty crazy dps
