Another stupid post but I'll agree with Vyx, Hib is on the really short dirty end of the stick as far as pet imbalance goes.



Hasn't Mythic made it clear there will be no more pet spam classes, etc?

I'd support a Theurg nerf - reduce the amount of pets to be in line with Ani's.



Didn't say anything about pet spam. Hib groups are very lacking when it comes to pets compared to Mid or Alb.



No, they're just useful in different scenarios. Animist turrets were incredibly powerful, and even post nerf they're still useful. Just because they're not mobile doesn't mean they're not useful.

Also there are like... 0 good Animist players. So... Yeah. That probably has something to do with the 'imbalance' that supposedly exists. I can sympathize with that though, it's hard to take your finger off the BOMB BOMB BOMB button and throw down a Tangler.

Turrets are not completely useless in the open but they are hardly near as effective as Theurg, BD, Cabby or even SM pets, not to mention high con charmed pets. Besides as you said it's hard to do what they're best at which is backload massive damage and drop slow casting all over the place.

they might be a different type of petspam but they have a very effective use even in 8v8

First off, mentalists, enchanters and druids exist. Secondly, I think you misinterpreted my 'hard' comment.

Give Enchanters BD pets, Make Eld Void line have spec 331 delve bolts like Wizards, give Bards lifetap ala Sorcs, and Hibernia will no longer be underpopulated and might even put up some decent fights with caster groups.


As it stands atm a Hib caster group is great for bombing zergs in a tower and that is it, whereas an Alb Caster group can take out any 8 man setup Mids and Hibs have to offer.

Ummm why wouldnt it be? Have you ran a Hib caster 8 man on Agramon in the last say...3 years or so?


If you have you would be aware of the MANY limitations of said group.


As a previous poster in this thread stated, 98% of the time as a Hib caster you are clearing pets, I cannot recall ever having to clear pets vs a Hib group when playing my RM/SM/Wiz/Sorc.


So that being the case, why would anyone be against letting Hib casters actually cast vs enemy players in a 8vs8 instead of clearing pets all the time?


Common sense would tell us that the failing population of Hibernia is due to the lack of "fun factor" running into Alb 2 Thuerg groups or Mid BD groups. Having Hibernia with a BD or Theurg style pet class would at least alleviate some of the disparity and might even bring some people back to Hibernia on a regular basis.

hib casters are meant to be backfield defenders using nearsight and bolts for long range interrupts and protecting the support with a warden to peel for you. eld/chanter/warden is an awesome combo for just that purpose. charge tank runs in, disease d/q-debuffed haste/damage debuffed vs 50% cold/heat debuff for assisting casters. oh and red pbt ontop of that.

it's a great synergy and works such wonders im amazed you think hib casters suck.
