White Lion Pet damage.

[Natherul]

Just wanted to add that a pet class can have a pet that does close to no damage if the pet brings something else in the form of utility (a pull or whatever).

Naturally a pet class can have a pet that provides utility only, but not White Lions. The scope of what they are meant to accomplish is very narrow, it's basically kill as fast as possible. If a WL doesn't have the damage to kill anything utility becomes completely irrelevant as other careers bring more and better. The soultion then is to drop the utility in exchange for more dmg (using Loner or just buffing the damage the player himself does), making the career even more one-dimensional. Something the devs have been trying to avoid and remedy in regards to live afaik (DoK/WP changes).

I completely disagree that WLs can be a pet class with no damage on the pet, at least not without severe changes to the current state of the career, possibly turning it into something completely different.

Again not saying that was the case, just stating that its possible to have a pet class with less dmg and more utility, as stated before this specific issue will need to be looked at.

Fair enough, it means your statement about a damage-less pet has no value as it doesn't really apply in this situation (unless you have some insight into a possible WL rework on the horizon, then it would make sense).

It simply means I spoke in general. As we are aware of this issue and will look into it Im locking this thread for now.
