Pets Are Too Strong.

What mage set worth anything is 10g? thats 2g per part and no shield. You either have a kinda heavy armor and cut our mana regeneration at least in half or youll have like 27 resistance on your armor for that price. Now I can make Ganoid scales armor, but that stuff is about 10 TIMES as expensive as steel and only has a little more than half the defensive stats. Also a good, lightweight shield isnt exactly cheap. we're talking 1.2kg with 45piercing res at least. Thats not molarium and firmwood but more like spongewood, flakestone and messing. A good mage set costs WAY more than a steelset and then you also get a 250g pet with 100g armor on top of it. On the other side you have a footie in way cheaper armor, with a 15g sword and 5g bow.
Stop lying about the prices of magesets.
I just got clapped by a mage pet combo. It was not fun. The mage didn't even cast on me and I wasn't able to kill the steel armored taur dog while I was life leeching. Shit is broken and cheesy.
Rumor is Medieval warfare changed once people could plate their dogs with steel.
What you dont have oghmium or tungsteel armor? You know pets hit close to 0 if you wear those kind of armors? This sounds like a skill issue
taur dogs are kinda insame atm true...imagine being a mage in a dungeon, as soon someone with a dog gets you as a target you are dead 2-3 hits later
most of the time you only don't have only 1 on you ^^ i mean they will surely nerf them but i think the problem with pets is the overall design right now.overall i think pets are a fun addition to the game and there are counters and it's kinda better for melees. also pets should be strong but different to what it is now.... a lot of the issues come from that the original idea of beast mastery being way way to make pets strong is kinda useless and not working mostly.
BM would take aim to make the skills work and it would not be this 1 click and forget killing machines. also like with risen pets which are easier to maintain by a lot, you don't have to care about focus, just fill up the carcass you need and run home with enough for 10 pets with 1 time being there ... they should be minor pets besides the tupilak overall as it basically gives you access to all the good pets for 100 skillpoints while being a BM would take you a few hundred + a few hundred from crafting skills on top. dunno if they would at least make pets like deal half dmg on players with the exception of pet skills it would at least be somewhat better but atm BM skills basically do the same dmg as standard attacks most of the time so why use em? ^^
<-- Very few hours (75 hrs) into the game, but so far my least pleasant experience as a new player is fighting people with pets. My worst experience was hunting with my friend and delivering a parcel, then meeting 2 people near the town. The mage casted spells and the fighter shot arrows. I knew I was gonna die, but I tried sliding off a mountain and using trees as cover to escape (around vadda). But they had dogs (can't out dps with beginner skill and gear) that just slide down the mountain effortlessly, take no fall damage, run faster than me, and kill me. Personally, my only issue with the fight is the AI for monsters/pets. If I am near the pet as it attacks, I'm hit. If a mounted fighter charges at me, I can potentially dodge their attack and they will spend a long time turning around. If I run slide down a mountain, a pet might move at max speed perfectly towards me. If its a mounted fighter, They can't just gallop full speed down the mountain or they would die.
I googled "Mortal online 2 pets overpowered" in hopes to find a "No, ur bad, just do x" and found this post. The answer seems to be "get the gear to tank and destroy the animal" which is a huge let down. I like the idea that If I was given an amazing set of gear, while a skilled fighter got bone tissue gear, that I would still get whupped because I suck at feinting, parrying, masking my attacks, and avoiding handle hits. But to face certain death to a pet because of gear... huge bummer. I don't like the idea of nerfing pets though, it seems they really have their place in PVE and picking off noobs, and fall off in large scale combat.

If you are wearing tungsteel or cronite armour pet damage does decrease greately, but we are talking about 3k gold or more for one of those sets. The pet costs a few hundred gold at most. If they tame it themselves its free, with some hours spent afk to level it.
Very few people can afford to walk around by themselves in a cronite set. People will zerg you just for the armor. This is the gucci stuff people bring to larger group fights. Also these armors are only for foot fighters. Mages cant wear them.
The biggest issue is how easy using a pet is to absolutely own. Its literally 1 button and the pet does everything. There is no skill at all. As opposed to being a melee fighter were the skill is very high. And there is no counter play to pets except to wear insanely expensive gear…Its just completely busted.
And, like you said, pets chase forever, and are as fast as the fastest character in game. So far, the only place they dont seems to work well is in water(at least bears). So i guess the new anti-pet meta is swimming ? Lets all get swimming and only fight by water.
