White Lion: blocking all aoe knockdowns intentional?
Posted: Thu Nov 30, 2017 6:55 am
Hello. I'm just curious with the new white lion changes, if the the aoe knockbacks were considered and chosen to be unusable against the pet, or if that was just a by product or whatever of making the changes.
Does challenge shout not apply anymore either? their are plently of aoe debuffs that are tied to damage, so I'm guessing they are not applying either, which seems a little to good for the lion pet.
Offtopic no need to read below if you don't want.
Guardian pets are mean now, I see them taking down players by themselves which granted are probably solo guys with no heals or whatever, really effective kiters now from what I've seen, probably always have been though.
The biggest issue I have is that when you get a squad of assisting lions on a keep wall, sending death to your healers, and you have to pretty much kill five squishy players with single target to get the guys of your back. when you could before aoe knock down the whole lot. It seems like a function in the game, pets don't get knock backed, they get knocked down. now you have to what I believe is waste vital cc for players on a lion, situational obviously.
Happy to be here, hopefully this is a fun discussion, or at least insightful to the knew changes, I know a few of my guildies and I were talking about how these abilities no longer work, so I know other people are curious as well.
