Has anyone noticed a nerfing of our pets in the past few days? Last night on
wisp isle (where I used to hang out alot to get the money for my 12th level
spells) my pet was dying before I could finish casting my opening spells.
This used to happen only rarely, but last night I was only able to keep the
pet 2 times out of 11. After looking at the log, it appears that the pets
had far fewer hp than normal. I understand that sometimes you just get a
weak pet, but with so many consecutively? BTW, I had gotten killed in a
Kerra spider snafu and had lost 12th level, so the pet I was using was the
8th level one that I was very familiar with, and had been using to harvest
wisps earlier.

Which brings me to my 2nd question. Does anyone know how the 12th level pet
spell works? What I mean is, it doesn't appear to create a randomly strong
pet like the 8th level spell does. The first 4 pets I cast conned green to
me. The next few conned blue to me. I had heard that you could get a pet
that cons white to you at 12th level, but I didn't see one last night. As a
matter of fact, the level 8 pets that I had to use after losing my level
seemed to do better than my level 12 pets. My conjuration is in the low
50's, so it's not maxed, but it's nothing to be ashamed of. Anyone else have
any similar experiences?
