THe pets are supposed to die fast for the Necromancers. Duh Duh Duh Duh.

I think if animals effcted by OC became level 20 or equvalent to it for the duration of the skill, it would actually be somewhat useful. Or maybe if the effects stacked beastmaster PvP group or something could be formed. Or maybe a new barrage team thing with pets.

And btw, hasn't anyone told you that if you haven't got anything good to say then don't say it at all? Flaming people gets us nowhere. Constructive criticism is good though.

You are missing what is probably the most important use of this skill:

(taken from GW-Wiki)

Quote:

All animals in the area become hostile to your target and gain +20 armor for 30 seconds.

Is a skill that gives +20 AL for 30 seconds worth 5 energy (less with expertise) and a place on a beasmaster's skillbar?

What would you, as Warrior, consider is the worth of +20AL?

Edit: All animals ... includes your pet.

Now if only you could keep the pets around and then the more and more you traveled through the pve area the amount of pets would add up... almost like a MM...

Idea:
Make it like an IWAY for pet.

Shout. For each dead ally in the area, your pet gain 25% attack speed and +3 health regeneration for 10 seconds

Idea:

Shout. All animal comapanions gain 20 armor for 30 seconds. All unallied animals in the area become hostile to your target and gain 20 armor for 30 seconds.

Now you don't need to stand next to your pet to use this, and it becomes a very good protective skill.

I wonder what that would be called? 'My pet will make a sad attempt to avenge you?

Shout. For each dead ally in the area, your pet gain 25% attack speed and +3 health regeneration for 10 seconds. The caster also gets an err. 7 for using such a crappy skill.

lol.

You make it sound like warriors don't have shields or absorption or defensive stances and all that matters is there 100 base physical armor.

Anyways, about the skill. Yah...

is that a bad thing?

Iway already controls the metagame of GW, and it has for almost a year. The fact that it hasn't been nerfed out of existance is pathetic, and only proves that arenanet used a dartboard when choosing their skill changes.

Hung Wei Lo · Jul 21, 2006, 09:58 PM // 21:58

what does an otyugh sound like? there's no text bubble like the other shouts, and i don't think there's a sound made a la talon silverwing...

Wasting a skill slot.... now wheres this brownie?

Why make it an IWAY for pets... the majority of the time its you thats dead because to use a pet you have to drop practically all means of self preservation. At which point the pet just stands over your body like a pillock and does nothing.

Then with your masterful knowledge of the game and this skill in particular, tell us who are all in the dark how you use this skill.

My masterful knowledge says you don't use it because it sucks.

Select a target foe, press the button for the skill, dang, all pets in your group have +20 AL. You need to be relatively close though, approx. short-bow range, but it will complain if you're out of range.

You sure about that?

In D&D an Otyugh is more a creature then a person.
