Restriction of mushrooms for animist

Hello,

we all know the problem with to many mushrooms especilly in rvr. If there is a restriction how many mushrooms you may have as an animist, my idea is to split this restriction into pvm and rvr. There is no need to limit a animist in pvm. But it's totally reasonable to limit the mushrooms in rvr. Maybe it's a good compromise for animists. I don't know if it's possible to program this.

why would you skip the limit for pve? i dont think animist dragon farming with shrooms is balanced either.
even with "normal" use animist farming is an issue, they attack other players pulls, they lag the server (especially when used in mass for PL as we have seen).

imo this should all be discouraged, animist with bombers or pbae pet is still a strong class.

It's both possible and desirable, imo. Animists' shroom farms are a really shitty gameplay mechanism.

Especially in RVR.... turning a corner and insta dieing to a guy that is safe away in the keep is retarded

Cap all pets to max of 5 and increase damage to compensate.

I asked this question already and the response was that animist has a 15 count limit. Thuerg no idea but probably around 15-20.

Last time I checked shrooms were still quite buggy. Maybe we should first get them to work right before asking for restrictions.

Plus why restrict them anyway? A shroom animist is highly situational. Sure if you run blindly into a shroom trap you are likely dead. If you avoid it or wait the 2 minutes timer after which the shrooms die, you will be facing an animist that hasnt a lot of power left to defend himself, same if you just mezz the shroom stack. Playing animist the right way isnt at all easy peasy as some seem to believe.

Yeah, i agree. I think some people just cant handle get roflstomped by a shroom stack while the animist is watching netflix.

Honestly, shrooms were much worse after ToA release, when you had tons of mana regen abilities and Traldors Oracle for a free pet every so often. This allowed for higher amounts of pets to be summoned. Chances are, most animists wont be able to even get close to that cap, and if they do, the first round of summons is falling down.
