Extending some "party member" effects to pets...

[Nezha]

(I posted this in GEO section but was unsure how to move it...)

This post mainly concerns the new jobs Geomancer and Rune Fencer and whom their ability effects extend to and I don't plan for it to be longwinded. I was looking forward to these jobs allowing for some new subjob combinations until I read: "...party members within area of effect," which immediately sullied any hopes I had for either class, just as the afterglow effect descriptions did.

I literally only play one job (which anyone on my server could tell you which that is) and I have for nearly seven years now... Being of a class that has historically been neglected, it would mean a lot to me to get others input, especially DEVs, even if the answer is "No." I was hoping at the least, Camate or another NA DEV could read this and give it consideration, or even better, urge the D-Team to re-examine party member area effects and possible extend some of them to pets.

I don't think this is too far fetched and I think it might promote balance in the way that Geomancers and Rune Fencers would become more versitile and useful for job classes outside of status quo melee or mage class, which is the truely unbalanced issue, but thats another can of worms for a different post. Thanks for reading!

I agree with you that Geomancer buffs should affect the pets. I think all buffs that affect your party should apply to the pets as well. It's not like your pet going to survive for long on big events anyway, even with the buffs. Then again, an alliance of beasts, puppetmaster and summoners would be terrific, but you will need spots for the corsairs, bard, geomancer and scholar

i think this point in time aoe buffs should hit the pet too

I don't think i can thumbs up this enough, best idea I've seen in years on these forums.

Our loyal pets get hit by enemy AoE effects, but not by friendly ones... This one's got my support. Well past time it happened.

I remember when DNC sambas worked on pets. They sure patched that quick.

Man that was patched in like, 2 days... Yet major flaws? brb working on it 8 years.

I know the Mechanics allow for pets to get buffs from players, and I would praise the day pet jobs could finally benefit from March, COR Rolls, Protect/Shell... basic stuff... But I don't think that day will be soon.

But man, You can have the +'s i have to give.

Can't let that crab attack 5% faster, the game balance might be thrown off!
