I played this shard for maybe 4-6 months. They are not a pain in the butt to 7x. My first tamer was an inconvenient at most. The second tamer I made was a breeze, especially if you use re-tames to your advantage. getting 7x pets on the on the other hand was very hard I thought. I only ever had one set when the stat loss was removed. Clearly tamers should be the strongest class, my personal feeling is that they are so overpowered here that there is really no reason to use anything else for farming. That is unless its a instance and you want to receive a trophy.
All of these issues could be solved by buffing peace dexers. If damage didn't break peace, peace dexers could farm as efficiently and as safely as tamers can.
