Ok, I have a few 180 power ALS left from a master doc's schematic from ages past. At MBE with the same materials, I'm getting half that at best! What's up? I also have a few ACRM's pre CU.

I making some new stim D's to replace my old ones that got hosed. Making all new components, I'm getting 1070 power and 20 uses. With my old components I'm getting 1255 power and 16 uses. What would you consider a top of the line petstim D, using all post CU components?

I used to be a stim D fanatic, and I have spent many hours fishing. In fact, I used my resource vet reward to get the best fish ever spawned at the time. So I got lot's o fish! I miss the days of 1700 power and 32 uses.

I hear rumours that not everyone can use petstim D's now? You have to be a certain level? what level? whats going on? help! I need a crash course in petstim economics!

I would very much like to hear what the CH's think about petstims now.

As a non-CH using a level 10 and being a level 80 combatty person, I don't use petstims - oh wait maybe because I'm a CM and can heal my pets with 'magic' now. But to be honest, I usually use a pet to pull a critter out of a pack then take over - the pet doesn't get damaged enough to need stims and it regenerates so very very quickly if it does take damage. As soon as I hit the thing we are fighting, it stops hitting my pet so that's why it doesn't take damage you see.

As for level. BE's can make instant stims and also petstims. It is easy to get mixed up. I think that all levels can use all petstims but only on pets of course.

Instant Stims are for people and they are combat level related - you probably know this.

The power of pet-stims was nerfed in the CU. It was something that ArthurDent asked about when he was correspondant and he did get a reply. The thread on that is here.

Pet stims are not useless. They are not nearly as necessary however. In a high level combat situation with 3 of 4 wild animals, pet stims are the difference between a live pet and a dead pet.

Patch 20 on test creates a situation where a pet attacks one animal in a mob. The entire mob aggros and either ganks the pet or the pet owner or both (typically it is both). Because of the new mob mentality, pet stims will be more useful. That is of course if the creature handlers don't just get completely fed up with the new dynamic and stop using pets altogether.

people stims are your bread and butter now.
