I've noticed UBT and Decreptitude now land first time every time on pets in pvp. I've also noticed that drains do too. In fact, for some reason every nano lands first time every time on pets in pvp unless there is the rare case of us having a buff that buffs a little bit of immunity to the nano in question. I even can land nanos on my 220 pets every time from lowbie alts when I log the pet owner out!!! What happened? Any fix for this soon?
Another thing I've noticed soldiers and shades can kill my pets in 30s or so. That's faster than I can even cast a new one and rebuff it! And other professions aren't to far behind. What is the reason for this change? Now even 210 dshark wonders and shades in med suits can annihilate my pets. Combined with the above, this is making pet professions practically unplayable in pvp. People called me crazy for using an AS gun, with pets being so uber before, but if I didn't have one equipped now I really don't think I could be competitive.
Oh and another thing, it seems like every time a crat charms my pet and then I get it back, ALL of it's buffs are gone! This is really annoying. This must be one of those "pink trees in newland" bugs. I'd be happy to do some testing to help find the cause of this really annoying bug. On a related note, pet steal back doesn't seem to be dropping anymore. I've been killing dynas and checking gms for it for almost a year and haven't found it or seen it once on gms (not once!).
I hope these pet bugs can be resolved quickly; they are really really bad for pet professions. If anyone else has experienced what I have, let it be known so maybe the devs can solve them more quickly. Also, all the hype about these new pets coming out soon is getting me excited! Can't wait!
