I would like to suggest a JA that is an alternative to Call Beast or Charm.
Name: Haven't thought of one... (maybe "Feral Summon" or something)
Concept: It would allow the BST to call a pet without the use of a jug or having to charm a native mob.
This would allow us to have a pet under the circumstances of:
1.No charmable native mobs around.
2.No jugs/ran out/forgot jugs in MH.
3.AH didn't have any jugs on it.
4.Don't have money to buy jugs.
5.Don't have a craft level to make a decent jug.
Implementation: The ability once chosen would go to a sub menu with a list of pet families (IE. Aquan, Beast, Lizard, ect.) once one is chosen a mob of that family would be summoned. This allows us to be able to chose a mob that is stronger in the ecosystem so that things like Killer Instinct and monster correlation stuff actually get used effectively. Pet would function identical to a jug pet in means of control and pet commands.
Balancing: This ability would call a pet weaker then a jug pet so that Call Beast isn't dwarfed by it. The way i see the pet strength hierarchy would be:
Native Pet > Jug pet > New JA pet (Though I'm not so sure that native pets are stronger still.)
This would share a cooldown timer with Call Beast to prevent people from just alternating between the two between cooldowns. So this would prevent people from doing:
Call Beast > Jug dies before Call beast timer is up > New JA pet until Call Beast is up again
----------This point down are things I would like to have from this ability-------------
Wishlist: I would like it if the pet summoned was a greater mob. (IE. Malboro, Manticore, Roc, ect.)
It would be great if when 2hrd the pet would gain access to a powerful WS.
Would be cool if they could zone with us.
Feedback, concerns and comments very much welcome as long as it is in a civil manner.
