Today i just changed my mind about. Pets in some way help you to "balance" the class unbalance on this game.
Ex:
1º Sorcs outhealing my dps with that emblem, i need to use full pump it up hard + agi pots and boosts to "try" to kill that sorc. (Even with full Tier2 accessories)
2º Same thing with Priests. I've been on last rounds with p2w Priests and it's way impossible without 200% damage buff.
For both cases i rather to use Eremes/Undead/BaphoJr/GiantDriller.
3ºRangers and their slow dots + speed skill + move attacking
No problem with melees, as some extraordinary p2w exceptions.
For those ones i use Embus.
And that's not all, we gotta get rid of the infamous premades, one by one, and there, pets do an awesome job, in my case and without them on Colo, it would be way more hard to advance on Colo's.
Last but not least, we, assassin's, lack of healing spells when we're surrounded by players or premades. There, Elder Assassin/Willow worker and Lapparman, do a great job to keep us alive.
So, looking at this scene, pet's aren't that broken and people should learn what pet to use in specific circumstances. Also, all the effort from players to get a 4 or 5 stars pets, obviously gotta get a reward from it, call it OP or whatever you may call it, but if someone got a 5 stars pet, then that person deserve to have some advantage against others. It's logic.
Now i have mixed feelings on colo like Meco. xD
