I have to have high dex for effective healing through bandages. I have to balance that high dex with with strength points for HP's and mana to get to use specials. Tell me why the tamer shouldn't be under the same restrictions as every other template in the game? The tamer template (And I do mean the template! Not the player behind the template!) is the spoiled child of the UO family.
Your pancakes about Balance, when in reality you are wanting your cake and eat it too.
You dont need to "FIX" a tamer.
Tamers are already limited. Boy I can see you dont have a Tamer, or if you do you surely dont know how that template runs. Take it from me, tamers dont have it so glossy as you make out.
For instance lets face facts. The average tamer needs to be at least over 105 in both tame and lore to own a damn GD. Thats not being able to have it kill mind you, oh no you need at least 110 to have it obey properly.
Then you have Vet, I can tell you from many champ spawns its not a picnic to vet a dragon or any other pet when you got not just the spawn after you but in the fel spawns you have the Red hord wanting your head on a platter.
Now thats the real tamer who has their skills to max and is a Real tamer. Tamers are not needing high dex. Where do you expect me to pull it out of??? My hat?? Ok, health is Str so no cant take it form there without puttin my ass on the line. My mana?? Ok take my mana away and in the pvm hunts where the monsters have aoe effects that would kill me in 1 hit I cant vet my animal close up so where does that put my healing ability?? I personaly use my mana to keep my pet alive in those hunts. I have no where to get this DEX you want lady. Your wish would make my tamer useless for even killing mongbats!!(exeration I know but its got a point as to how bad it would become)
Your main pancake is that Tamers you face are so powerfull you cant handle them.
I can see you have run up against the brains of UO who know how to balance not just their skills but their oponents skills too. Your tired of getting your tail in a knot from someone smarter then you. Give it up sister. Its not the Dragon or the Tamer character itself.
Your wanting the player nerfed for being smart enough to use equipment and tools to make what you think is the norm! I got news for you, not all of us tamers have such skills that we can walk in and own you. We still hunt and play the game PVM.
In the pvp area I can see the Dev doing a change to stop the log out issue and perhaps resetting the entering a house in combat.
The log out to save the pet bit can easly be fixed by a simple battle restriction the dev can do. Like the heat of the battle recall limit in Fel.
Your wanting something that would put the tamer so far out of wack with the rest of UO templates that it would have every tamer in arms at Mythics door screaming to fix it. My dear child, Thats a hell of alot of tamers!
I read your post quite carefully, Infact I read it to my son to be sure I had it right what exactly you wanted.
To be fair with you, I do hear on Napa chat when a tamer and pet do fight in fel what goes on, the same on Atlantic,Chessy,Pac,and all the other shards I play(with excepton of the ones whos population has no real pvp)
Yes, there is a few tamers who do dammage to **** off the pope when it comes to fighting with a GD, but most times its due to the fact they log out to savet he pet. They are not pancakes that the GD is owning them or the bane has them cornered. They are mad they cant kill it cause they ether are in a house to insta log to save their sorry tushes or are grouped up with a second tamer and pet.
But what you want is not gunna happen.
Over my dead body.
Tamers got nerfed once already, its why my tamers are all heading to 120/120/120. Just so I can pvm.
Its people who found it unfair to their spacific situation who cried over how bad they had it that messed us up to begin with. Leave us tamers alone!
