Tbf the nerfs to them make sense, Sorc pets are a strange lilac shade whereas their wild cousins look nicer, clearly they have some vitamin deficiency.

On topic though, I can't be the only person who finds them somewhat unsightly along with just not feeling as 'smooth' to use as Necromancer/Warden pets which are likely the reason for the mythic being toned down for pet specs, non-pet sorc on PTS feels a lot better than petsorc which is a shame because I'd guess a lot of people enjoy sorc for the summoner fantasy...

The reason players hate on pets is because they severely under-perform in the context of what most all other skills in the game deliver.

I mean sure, but, I mostly hate them because they're butt ugly and in the way. All the time. Everywhere a sorc goes with pets, stupid pets are in the way. And being ugly.

Imagine if they performed well with good mechanics and even more people had them.

The whole design of them needs to change from top to bottom.

The fire atros people have as assistants are less annoying. Just give sorcs versions of those as lightning etc. Id have one of those- if it worked OK.

If sorcs have to keep pets because zos reasons.

I struggle to understand how there isn't more complaints when every crowded area looks like this.



Big purple things everywhere. It doesn't look good.
Where are they in all the promotional material for the game? There should be at least one or two twilights in every player group shot. Unless, you know, the devs know they are horrible to look at?

Devs know they're horrible because in that worst EVER dance party in a forest in Solstice, the twilights are a different colour AND land. And they can dance.

Not that I want one of those, because they also fly and flap and get in the way.

Fire atros reconfigured as shock, would do me.

Either atronachs or just making the twilights so much smaller. Like nixad-sized. Or you know, just give players an option to hide them out of combat.

I think that they actually just hate Sorc in general, not even just sorc pets. Everytime I get on my sorc I feel like the game devs hate me.

Do we know what classes the individual devs main/favorite? I'd be curious to see who on the team likes sorcs

There is 1 dev who was a NB main/streamer before they joined the team, so we know there is, at minimum, 1 NB dev on the team.

As for Sorc devs (devs who main/favourite the Sorc class), I highly doubt there's been any for a very long time now, given how all the Sorc changes have been handled/done in the past.
