Arcane Pets. Your thoughts?

It's like asking for maul or hooks to be buffed in order to stay competitive with L41 weapons.

Not actually buff the arcane pets just like that. A quest to have them old arcane pet to boost some stats. Of course, who would like to get these old arcane pets buff without any efforts eh? :P something to do with pve. Not just make new pets everytime they like. How many pets you have in stable? you also did the AP im sure. And its just wow that you just use 1-3 out of them pets :3

All arcane pets are gold sinkers never getting one because they come with new ones every season you just threw 30m out the window -.

Thats how it is. We have to go in the flow.

And it's fun to have a limited item. Weather it's good or not, or even if it were a VANITY pet, i would love whim bro's because they're adorable.

Just a FYI, INT also gives crit bonus. So basically with whim only warriors don't get crit(which they don't need). So the buffing need for lack of crit is pointless.
Secondly, as madnex already pointed out that if pets are buffed no one would bother opening a second locked for those pets.
We could always buff a pet through quest but that would require an arcane component(aka nekro) and lets face it, that would make it a nrw pet and not just a buffed version.

Thats why i like the idea before about nekro. Needs the Singe pet to make a Nekro. (Anyway, its a useless pet) lmao

I do understand your point. I have myself bought a Glacian recently because I thought it'd be one hell of a good pet. It's not that good, my Blinky is better. Though, i'm not sad about my purchase as I got the Arcane achievement and still, Glacian remains a very, very rare pet - I feel good having that cheeky ice cube without seeing it on another player everyday.

At the end of the day, we can only say "ITS CUTE" :3 hehehe! :P

From what I'm hearing, I doubt it. Apparently those mobs/bosses have ridiculous hp and much crit is needed for optimal dmg output.. not whims.. better off using sam or lurk

The sad truth is that hammerjaw and glacian already got buffed a long time ago when Sam came out.

I remember how cool hammerjaw was when he first came out. Nevertheless, at first he was still only worth about today's price as you could originally not get the arcane achievement when you opened the egg. When they made it so you could get the achievement for opening the egg his price shot up. I think I payed about 15m for him back in the day... Imagine what a worthless egg he would be now if you did not get the arcane achievement for opening. Sad really. Even old arcane weapons like the daggers have a use in twink pvp, although hammerjaw is now pretty worthless as a pet.

I am all for buffing. You can argue that everyone knows what they are getting when they buy and open, but the same could be said for Singe before they buffed him. Singe owners just complained more, although it was still their own fault for buying and opening him (except for the first few in the game who paid obscene amounts of gold for him before we knew he was a bad pet). Also, in terms of the argument against buffing as new arcane pets should be better... it would be one thing if HJ and Glacian were no longer dropping from crates, but they are and we need incentives for people to open crates. As long as people get worthless arcanes and mythics from crates there will be a relatively low incentive for people to spend plat to open them.... So either buff or remove from crates...

True but they're also are or were the ONLY arcane that also gave free speed!!! The speed is one of the best things about whims minus the pull!

Or new nicer and more shiney Singy!!!

**Frekken** · 11-13-2014, 04:55 PM

Maybe add some pet's "evolution" system. Kinda pokemon's One. When you got some primary stats and some damage, crit or dps learned by the pet throughout some quests.
Sorta like a pet special training
Is it dumb? @.@
