R56 Taming suggestion

@DarkStarr

Here are a couple suggestions that would really help taming in the long term.

1. Some rare and hard to find skinned versions of the higher end tamables. I.e. a obsidian bear with a white paw etc. People love to find rare pets and love to pimp them out even more.

2. Pets need to actually die more, there is no risk now that we can rez pet from anywhere in the zone. If the pet dies at a bad loc you can just rez and dismiss it. With no pet turn over there is no taming economy except to new pet users. In uo the risk was that you lost pets with bad planning Id love to see more risk here. Currently when I rez it shows <1% chance to rez pet a critical failer roll resulting in perma death might be a good way to solve this.

3. Pets need some regen or better heals. With a high hp pet it can take 14 heals to get pet back to full health. A faster out of combat regen would really help with this.

4. The loss of the neck slot is pretty huge, it would be great if you could mw and enchant that whistle with taming specific bonuses. While im on this topic my whistles take no durability hits, durability hit on pet death would be good here, makes the exceptional whistles have more value.

5. Chris suggested a offhand item that would increase pet damage this is a great idea but archer tamers would need a 1h ranged weapon like a bola or a blow dart etc.

6. Pets need to stealth when you stealth, kinda defeats the intent of stealth if your pet is following out of stealth.

7. New pets with specific abilities like higher crit chance, hits multiple targets, aura buffs etc.

8. Plate or chain tamers are severely punished from a focus stand point on high end pets. Cloth wearers might have a 1700 focus pool where heavy armor people might have 650 focus in thier pools. Loosing 330 focus is devastating to heavies where the people in cloth can absorb the focus hit.

Long term improvements

1. Pet leveling
2. Pet bonding
3. Pet skills
4. Pet gear via crafting

Thanks for the wyvern in 56 cant w8 to see it, hopefully its very hard and difficult to tame.

 

110%!!

 

yes, need the risk too

 

i completly agrre but ...... bind the incrased hp regen rate and new pet abilitis to taming specialization, and posibility to sumon tamed pet from inventory as reward for 120 ( or at last 100) tame creature skill.

 

Yup agreed soooo much!!!!
