I don’t think they’re OP nor do I see them used a whole but
but they fight just right with my builds

it really caught me by surprise when they were removed.

“promote healthy gameplay”

what does that even mean?
how were those 2 rune sets toxic in any way?
can a dev please offer a little more explanation?

They got rid of them because they summon AI. Yet plenty of builds run with AI on its utility bar, other runes are more toxic, other runes got reworked instead of removed.

The stat combination and 6th bonus made it the best rune for my build as well.

So now theyre anti AI all of the sudden?

These runes have been in hotm for a long time. I’d rather have them remove a bunch of the new worthless ones.

….But i thought the pets were meant to be deployable meatshields? Rangers get to do that anyways so I really don’t see the balance issue

Rangers would love to trade pets for most anything else, except for the pokemon trainers ofcourse.

If that was the case ele’s and their elementals would fizzle out, necromancers and their minions would be put to death, guardians and their spirit weapons would be banished, thieves and their guild fired, and engineer and it’s gyros scrapped. Half the classes have some for of it lol

I would say they got removed because of the increase to outgoing healing added to the game. Iirc they have no duration limit.

good speculations but none of it make sense lol….
ai..is that really a problem?
I use it for the stacks because it’s one of the few that has power + ferocity, and it has +4% dmg which is great
i can careless about the dog…are they going to give it a replacement?
nothing really matches it
scholar runes are a poor replacement…

I didn’t even get my gold back )=.

Anyway I’m totally OK with a game where nothing is constant, and tomorrow, I can playing a totally different game with deleted skills and traits, changed systems of combat, and different items either one time purchase or deleted… Indian-giving is totally ok… )=
