Pets with archer perks are nerfs!

[Dzonatas]

I haven’t seen discussion about pets with archer perks. It’s not like human thralls that you can just switch to bows. You can’t give a bow to a pet, and expect them to use it!

We’re talking about the Deadeye perk and the Warden perk. They nerf the strength for gain in other stats. There has been some discussion already:

• Search results for 'warden category:5' - Funcom Forums
• Search results for 'deadeye category:5' - Funcom Forums

Is there any advantage for pets with archers perks? I haven’t found it.

I described the scenario with pets here in the bug forum:

Deadeye and Warden perks are no fun on Fighter thralls

Okay, please share the hardship when one of my fighter pets is the greater variant. That’s like a 10% (at best 20%) chance to raise from the start. Now, you multiply that chance with another chance to get all fighter perks as it levels. It rolls an archer perk instead. It’s not like a human fighter thrall you can just give a bow to if it rolls archer perks. Pets don’t use bows, so the archer perk is a nerf! See? No fun due to all that work only for a nerf. @Hugo so… should this be in general …

I’m suggesting we do away with archer perks on pets. Funcom wants to see more community support to rid of the nerf.
