Oh, I understood you Talen but Blue....yeah lol. I admit they do keep you on your toes...I think everyone should start out with Elec control's gremlins...I was spoiled and started out with Singy. Animate Stone and Dark Servant will also spoil you.

Well, Dark Servant has two natural controls on what he does. The first is that he's amazingly good at keeping himself alive through debuffs. The second is that he doesn't kill things and move on.

My first pets were monkeys, back when monkeys were the same level as you, but I was still able to buy them the global IOs to buff their survivability. So yeah, I was kinda used to the idea of never having 'control' over my pets.

I didnt take Jack Frost on my Ice/Thorn Dom because I dont need him. Its ok if you dont take a pet.

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

Yeah, it should be worth noting that on my plant/thorn, I haven't taken the pet. It's too slow and tracking its health and mine is too much bother.

Venus Fly Trap is awesome now Talen you should add him in...or at least try him out on Beta. I admit that in the past if a warwolf even looked at him funny he would die, but now he can actually take an alpha. His AI is great as well now, he stays back when he should and Bites when things get heated/up close.

Now Jack...oy...well at least Arbiter Hawk fixed him in I22 lol.

My Mind dom doesn't even get a pet from his primary, so I only have an even lamer patron pet. Even it doesn't seem useless, so I don't know what your problems are.

Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Phantasm is <3 The knockback can be slightly problematic at times, but it's a very single negative to a lot of positives. Different damage type, and summons its own PA-style decoy to taunt an enemy. He's really saved my bacon a few times when things have gone south and taken longer than most of my powers could run.
