Maridos - Broken passive Melee range
PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!
I think not...
I haven't bought a nice new pet since Hammerjaw came out in the Kraken Expansion. I saved and saved and finally had enough money to buy the new hotness, Maridos. Primarily, I PvP but I also PvE and as I was leveling up Maridos I noticed something weird as I kited mobs leveling up the pet for actual use in elites and PvP. If you are kiting, Maridos will not hit ANYTHING. His attack range is so small... it's laughable. If you have a friend join opposite in PvP, go in a spawn and have them run circles around you if you have Maridos. If they are any actual distance from you, Maridos will not be able to hit them. It's not even a 'miss', it's the animation without anything happening.
I tried to 'Fix' Maridos myself by adding passive run speed, but he still does the animation and doesn't hit. I then tried adding Rally Cry for even more speed.... he still does the animation and doesn't hit.
If you're a warrior, and you look at his stats and decide he is good for tanking, that's ok.. he is. But he won't be able to chase a Rogue in a 1vs1. If you're kiting mobs as a rogue or mage, he wont really hit them either if they are full run speed.
I have nothing to say to this... I always liked being different and playing with a different style then everyone or soloing, but this pet without it being able to hit is worthless. He might 'Power up' when you use the AA but he won't hit anything to use his power up on.
As a fix I suggest changing his passive attack range to Samael / Abaddon range. If you switch to Samael or Abaddon they hit always - that's what a pet should do. At this point if the re-egging service is available I would like to Re-egg. I tried everything to fix the pet myself by adding speed boosts, but something is wrong here. Like many things, fixes in AL seem to never come. I may quit shortly, after saving up money grinding for years I have a hard time taking a 15m hit for a lemon.
Much love,
