such a heart attack that in fact, its eye flew out of its head, or its ear was severed, or some limb fell off, etc.

No. No wow scouts for sk.

Agreed ten times over.

I like the original idea. But no resurrections for pets. That destroys the purpose of the original idea: a scout having to work hard to better his or her pet.

This idea is actually too much work, given that your pet can be killed with a single petrification or finger of death spell, or by hitting it enough times to reduce it to dead.

Builders should just make some newer interesting pets. The last thing scouts got was losing the hippogriff as a tameable pet.

Why? adding more pets still boils down to the same thing over and over again, someone finding the most optimal pet and everyone else jumping that gravy train. But you know what I would love to see added with Single Pet classes like Scouts/Warlocks? Added tags to the prompt to show their HP/PE/ME.

Example:

Code:

[HP:100%][ME:100%][PE:100%]
[Mountain Lion: [98|100|75]]

Of course something only available to Scouts and Warlocks are they are restricted to 1 pet. Unless you just wish to have it only display pets since you can only have 1 pet at a time.

Optimal is always going to be the ones of the highest level, and they're optimal because of that fact.

What happened to the boulder bear? I thought that used to be one of the best pets, and now I haven't seen it used in like years.

That's because it sucks. It was nowhere near one of the best pets, it just got somehow stupidly hyped.

Oh, jeez, don't you love the fads in SK? That reminds me of sickles. :lol:

I'm fairly certain for a period of time it was one of the best right before CRS was introduced? Maybe I'm wrong but I remember it being a lot better than it is today.

Boulder bear is a merc. Mercs lost berserk, so it doesn't get used anymore because barb pets put out way more damage than other types of pets.

Giving their pet more buffs will only make them require a nerf.If it complicates things or it's becomes a bother to keep a pet like they run away if you don't feed them or they are weaker,I'd rather not see it implemented.It's like not being able to sleep until your pulse slows. :roll:

Am I the only one that thinks bows need to be redone? :oops:

P.S - I like the new pets but the problem with some is their size.Huge cannot fit into some places where you'd expect a huge entrance/portal/gate.
