    Yeah, and considering how much it costs to get a panther, well this is unacceptable. A free companion should in no way faster than the Panther.

    Agree needs to be addressed, a lot of players have spent good money on this companion.

    They already got our $200. Why would they answer?

    But yes please fix the Panther. It is TERRIBLE.

    A white companion should not out damage a purple one.

    Agree, my Man-at-Arms does more damage at Rank 12 then my Rank 15 fully geard and runestoned Panther.....is the stats even applying?

    Yes the stats apply and work right, but the AI is terrible and the animation takes too long. That's why companions without those issues are outdamaging the Panther.

    I just don't see how a guardian can be outdamaging a striker. I really wish Cryptic gives us some kind of response.

    My Panther pet is still hitting for 50 damage at Rank 16 with over 400 power and 370 AP.

    My Man-at-Arms has 39 power and 0 AP and hits for 150ish.

    I doubt the stats are applying correctly.

    I will back up what taem said. The stats do not apply correctly for the Panther.

    They apply correctly for most of the mercs, just not all of them.

    Eh. I am used to this by now from Cryptic. This is the second time they screwed me over. I should have waited to see what other people said, but didn't. My own fault. What really stuns me though is that we haven't had a response from them about this issue, that hundreds are reporting on.

    Oh well, they will not get another penny from me. The game is perfectly playable as is. I gave them $210 and that's enough.

    Dear dev's,

    The Panther is a terrible pet. Please make it not suck. Why is a white pet so much better than a purple one?

    Thanks!

    No they need to fix the Panther.

    I did not pay $200 to have a panda panther that does nothing but lick itself and attack air.

    I doubt they will, but I can hope.

    Maybe report it in the bug forum and keep the pages of bumps there?

    First two pages over there have no mention of this.

    Probably got buried. I made a post there. I think there is like one in every forum now, but this is the one with the most hits.

    everyone keeps talking about speed, I'm scared they will fix the speed and nothing else. did none of you look at the damage? compare a maxed panther to a level 1 wolf, it's funny. the damage is much bigger issue than the speed once you gain some levels and fight mobs that don't die in 1 hit. damage is like 80% less than basic pets if I recall correctly.

    I would be happy if the Panther actually attacks first. Then we can worry about the damage :D

    The thing just sits there as a boss is pounding me, then goes after the ad. She sniffs it for a good 5 seconds and then takes a swipe at the air (the place where the ad died).

    It's pretty funny watching it in action.

    Actually ATM anything>Panther. Cryptic please can we get an official comment in this?

    Got to agree with you on this point. Was so happy that I could get a man at arms.

    The panther's pounce takes way too long (actual 5 seconds I counted once or twice) does hardly any damage, does exactly 0 aggro, and dies at the drop of a hat if it's hit with AOEs.

    It really is useless.

    Don't forget that it also costs $200, and Cryptic still hasn't mentioned anything about it.

    Getting kind of frustrated here. You should not treat your founders this way.

    The rank 30 panther attack is slightly better because of the knockdown, but it's still very slow to react and I'd rather use my non-combat cat for the extra stats over the panther at this point. The dire wolf is better because of the triple knock-back you get immediately without having to wait until rank 30 but mine keeps dying when i stealth since he's only rank 15 or so, poor puppy.

    Lol yeah. Do quests and get him out when you turn in. Should level him fast since he is only 15.

    That's exactly what i'm doing now, but I finished what may be the last fight last night, for the blue cloak. Knox had nothing more to give me after that. /sigh

    As would everyone else in this thread. But apparently Cryptic hopes we will just leave it alone and ignore our useless pet.

    Fully agree. I sit with the same problem, by the time mcPanther attacks the mobs are already dead :(
