Love how dumb you people at unfuncom y’all nerf thralls because “we don’t want thralls to be op” in games like this the goal is to be op 
. Solo runs shouldn’t see your thrall murdered because their strength blows their health pool blows. Just had a thrall get pinned and not listen to commands and died. BUFF THE THRALLS!!! I remember when a game called Ark nerfed tames when they used to equal wild creatures but then became weaker and could be killed easily. THAT is what you have just done to thralls in Conan. Wild thralls are op whereas your maxed thrall is extremely weak. I’m convinced you know nothing about how balancing works. Buff the friggin thralls unfuncom, you returned horses to their former glory and thanks for that, now you have to return thralls to what they once were and let them use the weapons y’all disabled for them.
Personally if I am trying to avoid a thrall death, I always get the “Well Trained” perk and give my thrall the highest Armor possible.
Well Trained + 2k Armor = High survival rate.
It’s also important that I help in combat.
That ruins my entire build I shouldn’t have to do that, there should be no attributes or perks relating to thralls.
This - if you dont help they will die- period.
I run war party with no buffs and live- aside from initial losses getting used to the purge system, i dont lose any in a purge either. TeeHee!
Nope not needed- i even run warparty with mid range thralls like Mei the blade and she still lives. They live because i help them when they get cornered.
Agreed… only a few enemies can contend against thralls fully leveled, rolled, and outfitted, along with Well Trained. I’d say the only ones that can give a berserker or Dalinsia a run for their money might be the champion or rockslide. Other tough enemies MIGHT get close, but those two are the only ones I can think of offhand, assuming your thrall isn’t getting pinned against something or completely surrounded.
Yup it is needed
Thralls should be able to stand on their own and not need a ton of help nor should I ruin my entire damn build to put worthless points into thrall to make them good. These attributes are ass more than half these perks are completely useless. People who defend funcoms bs are people I truly believe never played this game back then. The opinions of those who think it’s okay are completely null and void. People told me passive gathering thralls didn’t need to be a thing and now they’re a thing and people are suddenly fine with it.
Sounds to me like someone isn’t good at combat. While you’re at it, just turn on God Mode.
Sorry, sounds like you want it super easy to me.
Takes the fun out of a survival game when you remove the risk.
“Should” is defined by Dennis. You “want” these things to be true. The points are only worthless if you don’t care about your thrall surviving. If you care, put points in authority, if you don’t, then don’t.
Yeah, your not using them correctly.
Keep trying.
These arent opinions - im telling you facts here- Funcom has the info on what i do on officials.
This isnt your standard fire and forget MMO or survival game where you can go into auto pilot mode- the game will make you pay for that.
I almost died three times since i responded to this thread- thats a good thing.
if someone disagrees with you, i dont think they are automatically kissing ass.
try not being a jerk, it usually will get you a better conversation. unless you dont want a conversation, you just want bandwagon agreements.
for me, thralls are just backup. i wanna grab bench thralls for the better stats with crafted stuff, and some zerks to take to dungeons. if you prefer to be the one to backup your thralls, thats fine too. but people can disagree with you, you don’t hafta jump down their throats and call them names.
Someone wants their slaves to do all the work.
Historically, a not uncommon attitude.
While it is now possible to hire followers (but given what that means in this game, it may be more accurate to say they are selling themselves into slavery to the Exiled, which was something that frequently happened in Rome to cover debts and get cash for family emergencies amongst the plebians), we still run into the problem…
If Thrall is so mighty, why should they obey the laggard who thinks to own them?
You shouldn’t have to screw up your build to make thralls good. Back in the day you never had to do that because thralls just had to be leveled. No attribute points no perks nothing that in turn screws YOUR entire build especially for pvp. Imagine lmao 
That’s what they’re for to do your work for you that’s the point of knocking them out and throwing them on a wheel
If the thrall isnt worth investing in for pvp, then it doesnt matter that it sux. Everyone else’s thrall will suck too.
Thralls shouldn’t suck at all they got nerfed into the ground and should be able to hold their own. If they want the player to do all the work and make thralls useless then they should just completely remove authority and make all fighters, archers, bearer any thrall that isn’t a bench thrall untamable. Unfuncom wants us to do all the damn work then remove follower thralls completely. While they’re at it remove all legendary weapons because you can’t repair looted ones anymore. They can also just trash all repair kits altogether because all they do is screw your weapon and armor durability regardless of what type it is. These are changes nobody asked for and changes only new players who never played back then are okay with. I could go on all damn day about how unfuncom is killing this game and you people are okay with it. 
Yes, but how strong should they be if an otherwise unimpressive specimen can casually enslave them?
If they are so deadly, shouldn’t they use that prowess against the creature who assaulted and tortured them?
Or are they so utterly broken and husk like that they lack the will to act on their own anymore, and thus the spark to strive on any appreciable level?
A baker, a carpenter, these are people who do work. When you make a fresh slave into a soldier, you play a very dangerous game.
Unless it is this game, where an hour on the treadmill turns everyone into automatons.
Your character is a trash master.
No points in authority.
All of the leadership capacity of an overcooked carrot.
Will you next opine that someone without points in Vigor should be able to tank Rockslide?
Or perhaps someone with no Strength should be breaking heads with a maul just as easily as the roid rager in the corner?
Your crafting slaves work just fine. Have them make better gear for you, gear that will improve your munition property.
Are you just now noticing this years stale change, or is this a recurring thread for you?
But this one has pooh poohed too much.
Which is worse, the odious leveling system with perks that make the thrall worse at what they do?
Or the equally odious leveling system that routinely produces thralls that are patently inferior to the pre-leveling versions?
Perhaps it’s the habit of thralls to stand there picking their nose while being attacked?
Or ignoring orders of where to stay and follow distance?
Mayhaps we could zero in on the hidden multipliers that actually determine a thrall’s combat prowess and require data mining to find?
Rather than a blanket buff, what are the specifics you want fixed?
This one would prefer a removal of Thrall leveling (all Thralls start fully statted, not at the dessicated lev1), transparent multipliers, action scripting at least as competent as it was before they were brutalized into obedience.
If Leveling must remain, at least give named thralls custom perks that are actually perks, like the playful pups from Siptah.
actually thralls stand still while being hit they take 3 or more combos before reacting
