Title: Just like RL....ask before you play with a strange pet!
Post by: HetBix on January 14, 2004, 09:37:34 PM
So the other night I'm on an LDoN and after a while I notice that Dogdog's damage isn't quite up to par. Hm, I think, and pull open the pet buff window. Sure enough, the Ranger had Call of Earthed her and I'm stuck with a slow Dogdog unless I want to unload a couple bubbles of mana that I really don't have to spare.

I'd be less annoyed if that sort of thing hadn't happened before, though. A few times. Okay, more often than I want to think about.

Buff me without asking? 99% of the time, that's fine. I don't like it, I can click it off, no harm no foul. But for the love of Khati Sha, will someone think of the click-less! ASK before you buff a pet, particularly if you know it's a spell with other stacking issues!

what pet buffs don't stack with Call of Earth?

our haste buff?

I know call of earth doesn't stack with frenzy...

IIRC the ac part of Call of Earth prevents our haste spells from landing, both are slot three.  Once you get to 55 though Omakin's alacrity will has more AC so should be able to get past the spell, but Bond of the Wild and Yekan's Quickening will not.

I remember having this be an issue a couple times, took forever to figure out what the problem was.

Aye the haste, when I played a Ranger I would never buff pets because I know that it will fek the haste up.  I guess some people dont know.
