Necro Pet Cap

the90thmeridian · August 27

Back to the game after a break. Playing my necro and keep getting the message "can't do that while at pet cap" or something along those lines. Is necro broken now? Is a ui thing in Bandits? I don't remember getting this message before. Not doing anything special, just parsing away on my dummy, decided to try it in a dungeon and got it during the final boss in vet ERE. Rotation same as it always was, blastbones every 3rd cast and consuming them with corpseburster. Don't know how I reach pet cap with the corpse being consumed every time by corpseburster.

U47 instituted a kind of pet cap to set a limit on number of summonables since you can have a huge amount of summons now with subclassing (maw + 2 sorc pets + warden bear + more proc pets)

i think its erroneously counting whats called "pseudo pets", essentially an entity thats spawned in to create an effect of some kind but is not a true pet, think i saw it in some known issues section but not sure where the post went

Basically, instead of reworking the Pet/Corpse system entirely, ZOS decided it would be a good idea to hinder the effectiveness of Necromancer instead to prevent performance issues that the Pet/Corpse system can cause.

They need to rework corpses instead of neutering a class that revolves around a dysfunctional mechanic.

ok so the problem isnt corpseburster, the problem is using detonating siphon as a semi spammable. i put deadly on in place of corpseburster and parse was going fine. decided to start semi spamming detonating siphon and within a few casts i was getting pet cap message. did a parse just casting detonating siphon every 20 seconds and no problems.

that sucks - i like blowing up corpses on my necro. i guess it would probably still work in trash as the trash pack would be dead before hitting pet cap.
