please buff owlbear and panther..

[burningwind]

especially owlbears.. they are not wroth using in quest.. they never use clave on their own.. they attack very slow.. for these reason most of the time nothing attack it... i know this suppose to be a tank, but he ain't much tankier then my rogue...

p.s. turbine please known this, though panther is no longer for sale. owlbears are still on sale with the legendary upgrade.. if you make them as good as any normal level 25 epic melee hireling, am sure more people will considering it when pruchase legendary upgrade. also it might be a good idea to sale this pack separately from shadowfell, most of my friend did not choose to buy it, but would like one if owlbear prove to be useful.

Maybe give them some melee power? That would rock.

I love the buff in the Harper tree!

Or have their attacks affected by YOUR melee power, thus scaling them naturally to level [not fully to level, but at least you'd mitigate some decline along the way].

this sound like a good idea.. but what about caster/healer build using this pet?? personally i believe they should first fix the bear attack animation, which will fixed druid bear form as well.. bear attack speed is like 70% of the normal attack speed...

also these hireling must use cleave on their own, i never ever seen them use them on their own.. even with this new ui system

they never use clave on their own..

That's because they don't have cleave. Why would they be any good? They're only CR 4.

Seriously, it's just another example of the Devs not having any idea how to translate a creature from pnp to DDO combined with their incredibly shoddy record on hirelings.

I don't think this will happen.
But when Anauroch come out, you might buy a pet based in some desert creature, and it will scale with your melee power.

That's how things usually work here.

Then Tiamat raid will come out and they'll gives us a Pet Dragon, just as strong as those dragons in Heroic Elite Gianthold Tor, for 6455 TP, no minimum level, of course.

Man, I'm such a genius.

we don't ahve cr 4 owlbear...all those in stormhorn area are atleast cr 15 i believe.
