Break this pet in pvp! It's such an unfair advantage, it's driving me crazy.
Alternatively, let players at least turn their characters while rooted, it would make the situation more bearable. A 30 sec cd or the root turning into a hr style grasping root would be way better though. It really sucks that an npc almost completely negates the ability to use your dodges/shifts etc. How does a chicken keep you from moving anyway.

i think winter wolves have a pretty accurate petrify
You mean worse
And yes this is one crazy OP oPvP companion, but they already nerfed it once, so I wouldn't expect more fixes.
Oh, I see. Now it makes more sense, I thought it was just some funky-colored chicken. Still, I think it's too strong, even for a petrifying bird.
If cockatrice gets nerfed there will be a post, nerf companion x, then y etc.
Fight a CW with will'o wisp and epic cankerous mage, he will perma CC you.
This is a quote from the wiki. "Any creature that a cockatrice bit could be permanently turned into stone" If the cockatrice isn't even summoned then how do I keep getting bitten ? o.0 unless it's also a ghost bird I don't think it should work this way. Even buff the root as long as it is required to be summoned, that's my opinion anyway.

Have the gear and skills, but lack the friends to play with? Come and apply for Essence of Aggression. We have been here and strong since beta. (Immature, rude, and arrogant people will not be accepted)
Yes, even better 60 sec. Make it totaly useless. You know it got nerved, it is expensive and it is just viable in IWD PvP. You could ask for all kind of nerfs, if you want, but if the effect is not game breaking imo, you should not get it.
I did IWD mostly alone and I bought one, before the nerf. It did get nerfed, it is strong, live with it. If it is IWDdom or a random fight, the one with the better equip including companions, the better skills, better ping, superior numbers oe. has an advantage. If it is 1v1 I allways ask, if I should make it idle before the fight. If agreed upon, I set all companions on idle.
People like this are what will cause neverwinter to fail.
People that complain over others companions (get the companion if you think it is so great, don't cry because you don't have one)
People that complain over others items (get the items if you think they are so great, don't cry because you don't have them)
People that complain over others ability to play the game better (spend more time testing situations if you want to play better)
People that complain over others class tab functions (if you don't want us to use our tab functions don't use yours)
People that complain over everything that they can because they somehow are lacking in certain areas. (try harder, play harder)
People like the person above cause nerfs to happen in game and so called QoL changes that make many of my friends leave this game.
then they nerfed it. Someone is now totally perplex about it, since you clearly don't have any idea how the pet's root WORK nor counter it. You go to the Forums and "CRY!" so the Whole community cater to your incompetence and ignorance.
P.S. Don't use any DoTs that highly triggers the ROOT. GPF and its elk can do more harm than good for you.
I own 2 of em for my cw and gwf.

Am I expected to use what, if I fight you with my HR or CW, both are full of DoTs and Procs? Don't use Careful Attack? Don't spec Piercing Blade? Don't spec thaum with Elemental Empowerment? Avoid CoI and RoE?
What about SWs? They are full of DoTs?
This companion fully invalidates escape mechanics for classes that need it to survive. It was an extremely dumb idea to introduce something like this and it's the most overpowered thing in oPvP.
As said, it is different in a 1v1. Otherwise CWs can use it as any other class. Combine it with willowisp and cankerous mage and you will get a perma CC faceroll CW. Ranged classes can use better than other classes. I fought a CW with aforementioned setup. He ruled 1v1 in 95% of the fights.
Devs decided to use companions in IWDPvP. Use the right companions and you will have a huge advantage, Cockatrice is just one of them.
The solution is not for everyone to use a cocktrice, to make the situation even worse and horribad, obviously.
You can't expect **** from people, because as soon as one broken mechanic is made available (and we have many, and A LOT more to come in M5), all the nabs jump on the boat and try to get some free kills.
Pretty much the conclusion is you cannot have people self-regulating themselves, you need the devs to :
- stop introducing OP lame stuff
- fix existing OP lame stuff without making it unusable (hello, Raven and Emblem)
- test properly before releasing
- closely collaborate with the PROVEN community members that know what they are doing/speaking about, not the self-interested dudes that just "want to be OP for a while" cause reasons, as I saw somebody posting recently
This bird's passive is not WAI. As a mod say the devs were unable to implement the actual "petrify" ability and chose a (terrible) root substitute instead. Cockatrice should simply not root. Therefore, learning to hijack it is not knowledge, and not even wanting to learn a hijack is not incompetence. Whining as you're doing, letojarred, is no substitute for factual reasoning.
I wished it was a quest reward companion from icewind dale if its' active bonuses where to stay the same as it is now to normalize balance.
Now take off your blinders and respond to the suggestions you carefully ignored. Your comparison between a feedback on a valid issue and your list of various crying for nerfs is trash, btw.
