Enchanter animations take too long to make

[Maimai]

Our pets die a lot in combat due to their low HP, they don't really contribute a lot but are useful for guarding animation.

My huge gripe that I never bothered to post about so far is that for some reason they take around 30 seconds for the spell icon to pop up when you mem it, there's really no reason for this bothersome refresh on the spell timer with the pet summoning delay...

Could the pet please be changed to instant so we can just mem it and make a new pet when ours dies from repostes without having to wait half a minute?

Hmm, most pets have the same 30-second delay except Wizard Familiars I believe.

Or are you suggesting that because Enchanter pets are more fragile so the delay should be nulled?

 

[Maimai]

Well I dont see why there even is a delay what with the 2 minute limit, but yes our pets are hardly a defining feature or anything, it just seems unnecissary..

 

[vistachiri]

I really never noticed the delay on summoning magepets, but then I'm usually running into the 2min limit anyways if i have to summon that fast or am already halfway through gate at that point lol.

We should lower recast on shaman pets too, I have to wait 24 seconds for my spell gem to pop!

Directed at me? No sarcasm intended. Shaman like enchanters are a non pet defined class, so if enchanters get their pet recast delay modified there is no reason shaman should not benifit from similar considerations.

 

[Maimai]

That doesnt make any sense

 

[Luther Flame]

What doesn't make sense? I often think faster than I can type.

In summary you are saying that because of the 2 min recast timer on all pets, there should be no refresh rate (spell gem pop delay) on enchanter pets. I am saying that this is a good idea and should also apply to shaman pets for the same reasons. I rarely keep my pet spell memorized because I change spells alot, when I mem my pet, it takes 24 seconds for the gem to pop. Enchanters like Shaman do not use their pets in the class defining way that Magicians or Beastlords do, so therefore it makes sense that if enchanters are granted a no refresh timer on pet spells, that shaman should enjoy the same.

I agree. I don't see the difference between the two (or a druid's pet TBH). ::shrug::

 

[Hobbes]

Well seeing as on live, you counldnt even controll the pet, I think enchanter pets are not meant to be a major part of their class. Just kinda as a back up if you get mobbed down. So I think its fair enough having to wait *gasp* 30 whole seconds.

I meant adalus's post

 

[zodium]

I actually intended to change this for all pet spells, but because it's me, I forgot all about it over the course of some drunken weekend. I'll need to dig up my spell editor.

 

[Raherin]

Shaman do not use their pets in the class defining way that Magicians or Beastlords do, so therefore

So therefor since they are not used to the art of summoning, it should come harder to them than the other pet focused classes. (My opinion, and it's not unwarrented as my main is a shaman. And I do find it annoying, however every class has some annoying things)

 

[Thinkmeats]

I meant adalus's post

I'd read it as he was sarcastically suggesting that shamans should get the same, as opposed to really suggesting it--in the same way that "well my class should get better nukes" could be met with "yeah and give monks Tarhyl's Embrace", which happens far too often.

 

[Shoken Ryutatsu]

I've noticed the pet recast delay on the druid pet too. I think it's only a minor annoyounce.

 

[vistachiri]

Dunno, just doesnt make any sense to me, of course then I always either have a pet up, or am currently recasting that pet, and have the spell permamemmed at the top of my list. So I never ran into it on ais. I would think it would be far more of one to a shammy/druid/chanter.
