In the enhanced version, the thralls, especially the pets are ridiculously weak. I don’t even see anymore the interest of capture and breeding. Expected the workers, they serve to absolutely nothing. Greater bear or white tiger, etc with force at 4 or 5? Seriously?
It was like this in UE4.
Human thralls damage is fine, they do good damage and tank quite a lot.
On the other hand…
Pets are basically useless and are just used for decoration, I don’t know what reason is there to make the strongest pet of pets do ridiculous numbers to the point where it only competes with the player using a pickaxe as a weapon 
These are about 50% weaker than the vanilla. But you can still play with thrall-focused playstyles.
For thralls, give them heavy armor, spend authority points, and keep a stack of food in their inventory.
Enemy NPCs, as always, are superior to pets of the same level without your support. Use them to defend your base.
Pets have extra inventory slots.
You can get a bearer thralls if you want inventory slots, will do way way way way more damage and will have X3 times the HP of the Tankiest of all pets
I guess you’ve never used a camel? They’ll have about three times the HP of a bearer thrall, and 30 inventory slots (so can carry more). They won’t be able to match the armor that a thrall can have, because thralls can wear endgame armor. Bearers might do a little more damage, but bearers hit like wet noodles anyway, so does it really matter if a camel does even less damage?
Also - there are quite a few greater pets that still have way better damage output than a bearer. And greater Hyenas can get up to around 1200 armor, which is close to thrall levels of armor, plus a reasonable damage output (no match for a good fighter thrall, but they’ll easily enough match up to a bearer).
Don’t get me wrong - pets are in a bad place and really need to be properly re-worked, but there are still a few that are not terrible.
It’s rather hard to get a bearer on lowest levels but very easy to get a gazelle.
Remember when Teimos was “bugged” for years and then getting nerfed because he had too much HP ?
It was even mentioned in a Dev Podcast, after Teimos had these stats for years.
Suddenly we have the Black Corsair who makes old Teimos look weak. You can easily get a Black Corsair with 30k + HP.
Just Funcom things. Maybe Black Corsair will be nerfed with Unreal Engine 6.
Not true. Thralls are still very much viable.
Pick any dungeon or event, and thralls smoke em. Even the champion in warmakers gets toasted.
Im getting so good with them, i level my crafters and dancers now also.
Pets I agree; pretty weak. But Thralls? They slap…hard.
Not having this issue. I’ve got a couple of really great thralls (Greater Hyena and Fighter thrall). It just depends on your RNG.
I get it. It’s just that I have a preference for the (virtual) company of a tiger (for example). They are now so weak. So, they damaged my fun. Simple as it. Not sure why a good feral bother them.
