Coming from someone who doesnt use pets for PVP. My pets were 7x. They are now nowhere close to 7x and will not be anytime soon. Have you done an RDA lately? What about a champ spawn? You wont see tamers at champ spawns. You barely saw them at champ spawns before the skill loss implementation. I actually feel the pet skill loss was a good change. Maybe even a a gold sink for pet skill increase eh?
