Apparently, from what the rumor mill had going, Carlo had some ridiculous AC buffing going on, to the point where Carlo would cheerfully tank APF generals without batting an eye (no MP pet can stand up to that kind of beating for very long, especially from a Cha'xxxx type)
'Course, Carlo go nerfed so he's mortal now, and Crats cry in their sleep over it.
In discussions I've had (don't have Rihwen yet, mind you) Rihwen is supposed to hit FASTEST out of all the pets. Don't think of that ugly green mortiig as some fugly thing you gotta tote around, think of him as your own personal chainsaw. Stick it on a target and let it rip away.
The BIGGEST problem the Whiner has had is the inability to hit anything that could actually EVADE. I know many MP's who have more evades than their pet does AR, and we have CRAP for evades. Sure, Crat can charm the Rihwen, but Rihwen can't hit you either....
17.3 is supposed to fix this, getting more AR love for the MP pets with new or extended lines, meaning even those poor souls who had their hearts broken with the MP nerf will have hope. Cross your fingers, folks....
