I want to play BD but Ive heard that BD pets (beyond just commander) are never going to be implemented. Whats the deal here? Why isnt this class complete? The pets are an enormous part of the BD class and without them it doesnt feel like a BD

good question, many other asked too, befor u did.but they we never took a satisfactory reply from staff.

Just seems etremely counterintuitive to me. The bonedancer, among many other classes, isn't fully implemented/fixed. Why try to expand Uthgard without first having the most fundamental unit--the classes--completed? To me that's like building a house with broken bricks...

You wanna code the extra BD pets in your spare time? Cool, go for it. I'm sure its an easy fix, maybe 30 minutes of work at most.

Im not implying its easy im just saying it should be high priority

And how you know that need too many time sorry?

BD pets can be scripted in a quite fast time if only staff want code them, dont spread panic!

It's just a staff decision if BD pets arent implemented (for unknown the reasons till today)

As you may know Bonedancer at this Patch Setting / Ruleset with fullimplement Pet´s would just RAPE everything. THey could easily get played solo and kill idk how many ranger etc. ALso in groups...

As the Staff stated already they won´t come, so the BD here is a little bit adjusted and have a 4 Sec lifetab and so on.

However he is strong enough with only 1 Pet.

Well giving a bd pets would just be lame. I guess they should work on the necro first for the albion tank groups But hey this is a custom freeshard that got many aspect of non classic

It's obivous. Pysical defense + no legendary weapon + no increased damage from toa bonus and overcap + no CL resists. Even with that, bonedancer are very strong on live.
Maybe 1 sub-pet could be a good compromise. It would give to the bonedancer the multi-pet feature that make this class special. And move the instant lifetap to a 8 sec cooldown like it was quickly done on live...

Then, can you please provide a link to the tests done to show the behaviour of this pets ?
Or just do the test and post it. If it's can be coded in a quite fast time, it should be very easy to test and show us the results.

not sure if most bd are a lil bit stupid...

the single-custom pet on uth is better than everything livelike for grp-rvr. the uthgard bd pet runs way to fast compared to other pets/live.
better having a perma-charge pet instead of 3 healerpets

This.

The insta-Disease pet is more annoying than the Healer pets !

Its not classic if they dont have pets. I dont care about excuses for balance. Can a GM chime in and say definitively whether or not BD pets are coming?

Even if its not 100% classic it won't be changed. GM's already stated their opinion on that in similar topics in the past.
