FIRST this is NOT a flame. This is a serious attempt to get Some Idea of why it was decided to make the quest reward aimed at MP's what it is. I just want to understand what was the thinking behind this.
Please Ehno, Sirillion, anyone that was in on the design stages :
What happened during the Design process for the MP quest? What led the Designers to think that we ( MP's ) needed another creation weapon when we have been literally BEGGING for a new Mezz pet? was it BECAUSE we have been asking for a new mezz pet, that we were given a creation weapon that will almost certainly go unused?
What happened During the Design process that led the designers to make a quest reward like this for MP's?
alot of good solid suggestions have been made for usefull creation weapons. Why were these ignored in favor of a weapon that does no damage, gives no benefits other than increaseing a heal pets heals by a relatively small margine? the MP's are not Primary healers. We are not Secondary Healers. We rank somewhere around 4th or so if that.
Increasing our Heal pet by a smallish margin is NOT going to improve this standing. Now if the Staff turned our Heal pet into a Team Heal. THAT would have been a quest reward! A creation weapon that Turns our Mezz pet into an Improved Version, THAT would have been Phenomenal! A creation weapon that turned Temulten into an Area Mezz would have made most MP's extatic! a Creation weapon that gave a Dmg boost and put a Taunt on our Dmg pets would have had us Singing your praises!
We already suffer from a Dmg Pet that wont hold agro and no way to make it hold agro, even if we are sitting down at the far end of the room. We have a Mezz pet that by level 200 is out dated by 75 levels or more. We have a line of creation nanos that with one or two notable exceptions is almost entirely worthless. We have TWO lines of Shadowland Debuffs that take so long to cast they really arent worth using except in very limited Circumstances.
So PLEASE someone just tell me why? why this? What about this creation weapon with an effect of increasing the heal pets efficiency by 12% seemed an appropriate reward for a relatively involved quest?
