One man and his dog...

Kaii · 11-04-2007, 09:10 PM

...or is it One elf and his cat?

A man (well, elf) of the the beast lore am I, and having had it up to the hilt with a nameless french mmorpg companys "couldn't care less about the customer" attitude , I have moved on, and in flight found myself here at the gateway to middle earth.

I shall indeed be taking up the graceful bow against the mighty armies of Sauron. But where shall my graceful feline companion feature along this epic journey before me, through the most darkest and dangerous of places within this universe?!?

Please please please please please promise me that this is under consideration and will possibly be implemented at sometime in the future!

I R Huntaaar, I want pet! (pretty please?)

I havent heard any planning about this sadly.
The two pet classes are Loremaster and Captain

yea i think a hunter need a pet companion and also a variaty of pets so that not everyone is walking around with the same pets

. certain pets could be put in hard to reach places, and be a kind of prize to the player, but then again i dont know how the current classes will work with pets

Personally I hope they do not introduce Hunter pets into LotRO, other than the fact it does not fit the Lore associated with Middle Earth it will also introduce Balance / Scaling issues. Currently Hunters in LotRO have the highest single target DPS in the game, the addition of pets will cause Hunters to be overpowered and so will lead to Hunters being rebalanced / nerfed.

WoW has been out for several years and in that game Hunters have had pets since day 1 and yet there are still issues surrounding pet scaling and being able to use pets in raid encounters, the addition of pets at this late stage will, IMHO, cause more problems than it is worth.

If you feel incomplete without a Pet why not try playing a Loremaster?

Indeeed....I've just come from thattaway!

It's not necessarily about pet damage, more about crowd control, and not having to run around middle earth looking for some guardian to hold aggro while you dish out the pain :P
