Oh Crap, Adjustments to Pets = Screwed our EXP ? Seems like they're increasing the HP..

The HP of the following monsters in areas introduced since the release of the Treasures of Aht Uhrgan expansion have been adjusted:
Mamool Ja's Lizard / Mamool Ja's Raptor / Fomor's Bats / Goblin's Bat / Goblin's Bee / Goblin's Beetle / Goblin's Crawler / Goblin's Rarab / Goblin's Dragonfly / Goblin's Ladybug / Gigas's Tiger

these are all mobs that currently have higher hp than base/Zilart/COP BST pets

[SilverBreeze]

Scholar only got 4 as well, ACC/ATK is one merit, at least that's what it looks like.

[Kriz]

Bomb cluster costume! <3

[Arthars]

Additional effects other than those affecting damage and attack speed ratings of relic and mythic weapons do not trigger when those weapons are equipped in the offhand slot.

my dream of offhanding nagi just shattered

oh well time to make a knife for my thf

Oh Crap, Adjustments to Pets = Screwed our EXP ? Seems like they're increasing the HP..

I don't think so, actually... they specifically mentioned mobs that were in zones released since ToAU came out. Perhaps they will make them in-line with the other pre-ToAU pet camps... i.e., more solo camps?

[SamanosukeShiva]

less hype than i anticipated

[Harutaru]

Oh Crap, Adjustments to Pets = Screwed our EXP ? Seems like they're increasing the HP..

Quite the opposite I think, it mentions the pets introduced since ToAU, all of which have far more HP (comparable to a normal mob of that level) than pets from before ToAU. To me this says they've noticed people like soloing BST pets and are making it so you can continue to do so in Aht Urghan by lowering their HP in line with pre ToAU pets.

Edit: too slow, damn you Vedder!

[Octavious]

<SE> LOL We'll Show you what happens when you fight a mob for 18hrs, bitch to the media now suckers!!!


...but really, I'm hoping they didn't raise pet HP because that ruins solo. Also, I'm already laughing at watching some noob level sync someone in front of aggro to kill him, lol.

edit: I SEE Aht Urgahn pets, I could a sworn they had the same HP ... nice. >_>

[Plastik]

see? you were doing it wrong

[Lordwafik]

No instanced dynamis ; ; ;

Dynamis is going to be hell +1

[Ophannus]

You won't get raped. AV is non aggro.

[Grieverao]

I want to disagree with this so much, but I know I can't ><

[Octavious]

At least they increase the drops on the bright side...going to tav and getting nothing over and over again sucked pretty bad. Outlands/Tav might not be as bad hoping most of the new guys to dynamis don't have access yet, maybe. >_<

[Stubwub]

Well, negative effects remain on scaled down gear eh. So much for wearing my Haub or similar gear. Those negative effects will be even worse at lower levels if the positive ones are scaled down. I know they're there to offset the positive ones but if you're going to scale down the positive why not scale down the negative to match?

-10 Defense at lower levels, or -10 eva is disastrous when you're at a lower level.

Also, they changed Ops again? For the love of god, please tell me they didnt change it back to getting the base experience only if it has 4-5 stars. That was so lame.

[Byrd]

New quests have been added focusing on areas introduced in the Wings of the Goddess expansion pack.

This sounds like new quests, but no new missions....

[Raylinn]

Absolute Virtue and Pandemonium Warden will now vanish two hours after their appearance, automatically ending the battle

AHAHAHAHA

[Doompie]

You won't get raped. AV is non aggro.

It is right after beating JoL.

[Xsquallx-Siren]

No Relic WS dmg boost like they said?

[Octavious]

You won't get raped. AV is non aggro.

Uh, have you ever fought JOL ? As far as my sore tarutaru backside can recall, everytime it spawns after JOL dies it rapes just about everyone in the JOL alliance. After which it is non aggro though.
