Eyes of the Best - Flying pets who can scout from the air?
Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2020 12:06 am
Folks have mentioned scouting as being a real utility via Eyes of the Beast. And I can confirm, it is incredibly useful: You can go much further from your character than you used to be, far beyond where you can even see yourself anymore. You can literally keep running forward and it won't despawn you until the channel ends. You can even attack and use the pet's abilities while running around as said pet, though it's not exactly great - the attacking and targeting is sometimes really weird or just not working well.
However, flying pets...can't fly. Why not? It would be amazing, actual utility-wise and flavor-wise if your flying pets could scout from the air. I assume the pets would need to be pacified while doing this aerial reconnaissance, but that's hardly a loss with how the combat works anyway.
Imagine being able to scan far and wide while hiding yourself so your pet can spy enemy players. Hunters would have an amazing niche, an ability even more useful than Eagle Eye, with so much more utility.
Pair this with having flying pets not despawn when you take off...and, well, I don't know about you, but I'd be ecstatic.
What are the pros and cons that you can see? What problems? Ways it could be implemented or improved?
