Has anyone noticed their pets being extra squishy or is there some specific mechanics I am missing?
Mobs there are tuned around higher player ilvl than the rest of open world, and they do a lot more damage.
1-2 shotting pets? I get higher ilvl but when I pull a mob of (let’s say) 3-4, my pet shouldn’t die from 2 hits.
Haven’t had them being 1-2 shot, def had to keep mend when pullin multiple packs, but the only thing i noticed was weird pathing / despawning in the “crypt” area
Check your rotation. My hunter is item lv 610 and I go through it with ease…
I do use potions, and enhancements. With your gear you should be cruising
621 I lvl bm hunter and my pets melt in the storm. Luckily I mostly play tanks, and there isn’t anything worthwhile on the isle anyway.
I’m doing the new zone differently than it is likely intended for alt catch up, and opted to do it on a fully pvp geared and somewhat gear upgraded character. Rarely do my pets die, but that should be expected in open world content with high item level gear.
what il are you?
Not really; although, there was a specific elite mob during the storm wq that killed my pet in a couple swings.
Individually, elite or normal enemy don’t hurt my pet. When in groups of 3+, I find that my pet will die in 2-3 hits as their health would disappear very quickly. Yes, Mend Pet exists, bomb/gun ability exists, I get that. I am just saying that’s what I have noticed.
Use a clefthoof, what are you using? Please don’t say it’s your spirit beast
I use my pup but it shouldn’t matter should it? Ya clefthoof has the def ability but that’s good for what? 2min? I would have the same problem for the next immediate pull.
I’m not saying it’s a problem. I’m just pointing something I’ve noticed. I don’t die from rezzing my pet and I do use my cds, just something that mildly irritating haha.
Re-did island tonight to farm for new gems, the only thing that was chunking my pet were the big hp bosses triggered in the event, and even there they were livin for a while w/o mend pet.
