Yes, I noticed you suggested it as a 41 point talent.

Ah, so you know how this particular 41 pt talent and lvl 86-90 shadow priest spells all compare against those of the other classes?Kalliope wrote:It would be ridiculous in PvP, hence the overpowered part.Worba wrote:And that's a valid comment; I was responding to the overpower comment.

A permanent source of reliable mana gain combined with replenishment sounds pretty overpowered to me.Worba wrote:Ah, so you know how this particular 41 pt talent and lvl 86-90 shadow priest spells all compare against those of the other classes?Kalliope wrote:It would be ridiculous in PvP, hence the overpowered part.Worba wrote:And that's a valid comment; I was responding to the overpower comment.
And I still stand by the base reasoning that the game does not need another class with a permanent pet.

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
Fair enough, bearing in mind that a perma-fiend could have virtually any powers, according to where the devs want spriests to fit into the overall lvl 90 talent / spell picture, which likely will be a very different makeup than the picture we currently inhabit...Kalliope wrote:A permanent source of reliable mana gain combined with replenishment sounds pretty overpowered to me.
And I still stand by the base reasoning that the game does not need another class with a permanent pet.
Also bear in mind when they add new end-tier talents, they often look to add abilities that shake things up and cause a real sea change to the previously accepted wisdom on the class. I would argue this is part of what makes their expansions so successful... just when we're all starting to think we've "mastered" our favorite classes, Blizzard sends us back to school.
But like I said, if you don't like the idea of having another pet class, there's not a thing wrong with that - it's like how I'd rather not see hunters with horses or stags for pets; I have no ironclad / unassailable basis for that, it's just a loose feeling, but still perfectly valid.

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
And druids with dryads? No thank you. The ents are MORE than enough. Every class in the game does not need a pet. There are a LOT of players that are happier without a pet at all. This is a hunterpet forum, so I realize we're not overrepresented, but among the overall MM and SV community, and the other classes as well, a lot of people don't like pets. It's a clunky mechanic, and some people have serious trouble concentrating on more than their own character. Imagine something that takes VERY quick reactions, timing on spells, various procs, whatever. And then imagine managing a pet added to that. It would be overwhelming.
TLDR: SPriests don't need pets. No other class/spec is currently in need of a pet.

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
....I may be in the minority, but I've always loved the idea of all classes having one "pet capable" talent tree. Only a few should have default pets (Hunter/Warlock). The others would choose to be a "Pet Mage", "Elemental Master Shaman", "Angelic Paladin", "Squad Master Warrior" etc.
Perhaps hard to do in a three-tree system, I suppose, and obviously I am biased, given the only classes in WoW I enjoy are Hunter Main (pets), Warlock (pets) and Death Knight (Unholy/pet).
Of course, I'm also one who supports Warlocks having a "bind" abillity similar to Hunters "tame", so they can pick and choose Demon skins. Hell, I'd give DK's a similar one to choose an Undead Skin too.
Skins are just skins, after all, as long as functionality isn't overpowered, it's really just aethetics when it comes down to it.

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
Just the Shadow spec, I believe, but my argument is valid regardless. Adding a permanent pet to just Shadowpriests would make them... What? Frost Mages that deal shadowdamage? Because right now, both Frost and Shadow focus heavily on slows, and mana efficiency / regen. Adding a pet would make them largely the same. If it's for the whole priest class, well, it doesn't make sense for a Holy or Disc priest to run around with something as arguably vile and evil as a fleshbeast. And my other argument still stands:Worba wrote:Were we talking about adding a pet to the entire priest class, or just one of its specs?Saturo wrote:Indeed, I wouldn't want a pet for my priest either.

EDIT: And Warfish, I totally want different skins for my ghouls and demons too. That's something I really support. I just think that some classes shouldn't HAVE pets at all.

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
Not at all - the model in question is already used in one of the shadow priest spell effects, so that makes them a logical candidate for having fiends as a pet; arguably the most logical.Warfish wrote:Well, now that the thread is truly veered off-topic....

Re: Request for Flesh Beast
Well, I can name a number of people, such as the ones asking for a permanent SPRiest pet, the druid dryad pet people, and those. It's also a general statement of my opinion on the matters of "This class should totally get this as a pet!".Worba wrote:Who are you arguing with here?

Unless you can find someone who actually proposed that every spec of every class should have its own pet, that is a strawman argument.Saturo wrote:Well, I can name a number of people, such as the ones asking for a permanent SPRiest pet, the druid dryad pet people, and those.
