is it time for a single pet power pool?

I like the idea. I don't think it'll ever happen, but I like it. you could also have each power summon a different type of pet. Ranged, melee, buff, or healing. One at a time, obviously. Possibly make them take the place of a vanity pet? Bet some people would scream bloody murder over that, tho'.

I like this idea. The way I'd have it work is that each power would produce a pet with a different effect. Something like...

1. Enemy immobilize
2. taunt/distract
3. Melee combat pet
4. enemy debuff
5. ranged attack

The first power would be like an attack, which would immobilize one enemy, or perhaps cause a fear effect. The second would summon a pet with 1 hp but a big taunt effect, to distract an enemy (the death animation could be running away instead of falling down dead). The third power would summon an actual combat pet, but one no more powerful than what you can get with temp powers in the game now. The fourth power in the pool would be some kind of enemy debuff, maybe a fear effect or loss of accuracy or something. The last power would be a ranged attack.

The actual effect of the powers isn't the important part anyhow. The fun part would be the animations. Using power customization... which they really need to get around to adding to power pools anyhow... you can choose from several pets for each power in the pool. The enemy immobilize could be a snake to wrap around someone's legs, or a circling hawk to inhibit their movement, or a squid that you throw at their legs, or big spiders putting webbing on their feet, or whatever. The taunt pet and the melee combat pet could be whatever they have a rig for: dogs, birds, etc. The enemy debuff could be a snake spitting venom or a lion roaring, or a bird pecking at them, or bees stinging them or whatever. The ranged attack could be birds or bees, or maybe you throw a wolverine at them (fastball special!)

It would be fun to have a cowboy themed dual pistols blaster with a pet wolf and a pet eagle, right out of the pages of Max Brand.
