They said Pets in the future will be "Skillful" How do you "Skillfully Control yourself + Pet? Also does this kill Builds that had 3 pets from Mo1?

Just something to think about Star vault... I get that you are taking ideas from the players here. But potentially destroying the BeastMaster class to appease the people who don't like pets, might not be the right path. I always seen it as people on foot lose to any build that has a pet, because people don't have more Hp then Pets. But people on Mount beat people who use pets because the pets are not faster then mounts. So you can use Magic from Mount or Arrows from Mount to line up head shots for a easy win.

Can't they just nerf the Pet Hp and damage? Why do they have to change the entire class? Isn't most of the complaining from people hating on White Bears and no other pets? My main concern is we won't be able to use more then 1 pet in the future because of the changes they speak of.

I love the idea of Pets having abilities and stuff, that sounds amazing! The only part I am not completely Sold on is skillful pet combat, because It could make it so we can't use multiple pets. But if they can do it in a way to where we could still use multiple pets then these changes could actually make the class even stronger then before.

That not counts for pets with ranged attacks. The hunter Lizards could split in MO1.
The Domination Pets were much stronger as the tamed Pets. A Nitre Guardian could split over range for massive damage. A knockback for the bear would be pretty strong skill but yes they are not so good against mounted Archers. Pets need to be nerfed and need to be made be more effective over a specific ammount of time. If a bear could outrun a horse it would be totally broken against Footfighters. I think SV also need to add pets that are better vs mounted players, but less strong against Footfighters. One animal or Monster can´t be strong against everything. Taming/Dominating need defenetly more feedback. Maybe an Animal with a ranged Attack for a specific ammount of time could be a solution. Maybe a bear armor could not cover the legs, so an MC have harder time to kill it, but a footfighter can hit the legs and a mounted Archer have harder times to hit the legs from far away.

SV announced that tamers get skills for pets, that can be drawn in the Hotbar to balance them. Here my suggestion for skills and how to balance pets.

Atm Pets like white Bears are Op. Skills could balance them. Pets need to be nerfed and we need get abilities to boost their effectiveness 1. I think we need wounded animals to move slower. 2. I think we need an exhaustion mechanic for pets. A bear could gain stamina if he hits a player and...
