Elly sage Pet - Phoenix Freeshard

Are there more sage pets in the game now? I remember there only being one, now it seems like there are more. Also, did they make it's model even smaller so now it's even more difficult to see when a Minstrel has it?

regarding "more spawns" afaik most spawns can spawn different types, so when you only saw one sage, you might have just been lucky/unlucky.
A few minutes later someone kills a few of the other mobs, frees their spawns and on respawn more sages spawn

The sage must have special code. I've killed them over and over again in hopes they spawn back differently and they dont. You're correct about common mobs though

Some spawners have multiple/different mobs in it. But the elly sage in Pennine doesnt. Meaning, if you kill a sage, a sage will respawn and not a different elly type. The size is also static, all sages having the same size, which is 20.

I mezzed a min there. Killed the sage and started to work him over, the sage spawned right back, not fair imo. It should have about 30 second respawn time. he stunned me, mezzed me recharmed the sage, I sos'd outta there. The fight ended in a draw., both parties broke it off

Generally, I'd say it's not a good idea to fight a minstrel anywhere near a mob camp that has good mobs for charming. I'd say it's fair in that sense, because you engaged in a poor location.

(I do sympathize, though. I used to try to catch minstrels as they left Surs to get barguests or sages because it was the only time when they were likely to be petless, but they normally just run around you to pick up their pet first. Then you're stuck fighting near whole camps of good pets.)

It needs removing, whatever size it is. Completely stupid pet.

Yes, I realise Devs play mincers so it's unlikely to be fixed...but still...
