Unfortunately, all too true. Maybe if they went back to EQ1 days and gave the air pet a lot of stuns and stifles....but that's hijacking this thread even further.

Not to mention that it's just plain painful to look at with its inside out face and flickering. The logic in choosing pets seems to be a bit flawed. It would have been awesome to get one of those molten golems like you see in VP or Najena's Tower, instead of that goofy Djinn. The Tank Pet looks fine, but when I think of Fire, I don't think of genies nor do I think of ghost monks when I think of an Air pet. hee.

As far as i'm concerned the darn thing could look like a pet rock, as long as the game mechanics worked and it was a viable pet..I know I know.. folks get hung up on the graphics thing but graphics are easy.. fix the pet mechanics.

djinn master is great. I wished my mystical pet would look like that.

This is what our mythical pet should look like.

smileygirl · 03-19-2009, 06:00 PM

So the overall opinion is conj is in sore need of some SOE love?
Well that sucks

Do they at least solo/group well?

I've noticed that given the right circumstances, Conjurors can put out some respectable numbers again. A large part of this is because our gear is actually halfway decent compared to previous expansions, and is starting to focus on our weakest link: our pet.

But in order for a Conjuror to parse well, it requires that the Conjuror have a specific group makeup, a specific set of gear, at least 180 AAs (full TSO endlines and some other abilities), and the fight has to be pretty favorable to Summoners in general.

Let's face it, some fights you simply do NOT want a Summoner around.

At least those Conjurors lucky enough to have access to Avatar drops are making us look good.

As far as soloing goes, I've never had a problem soloing your run-of-the-mill solo mobs, but I have a hard time with heroics. I was, however, able to solo up to level 80 named in Sebilis (and it was far from easy!). Other classes continue to have an advantage over us in this regard.

well that is pretty disappointing...
I'm new to the EQ2 community, had a high-50's magician in EQ1 (main was a healbitch cleric, and a twitching necro) and I really enjoyed the DPS of the class.

If my damn game ever works... I had thought about conj'ng it up. But alas, just like I don't enjoy the FOTM of SK... I might not being treated like a leper either :/
