So, comming from a Shaman in EQ1's prespective. Beastlords SUCK!
just thought Id toss that out. But I agree with the ballance issue, and no needing another class. Id like to see a bit more development in classes. For example, Shadow Knights only have 3 Class specific lines. Decay, Hate, and Reaver. Grated they are all good choices, I need something to complaint about.
To the point of the post.
Mystics and Defilers get an AA line pet wolf that is manly used for buffs.
The EQ1 Shaman pet was really only for solo combat because its DPS was lame and it would die to AE's.
The Conjuror and Necromancer are really the only true pet class.
