My point was that it’s not worth it, nothing about the Falconer feels worth it, which is kind of how I define balance.
Cost + Effort = Reward, Cost = CDs, Mana costs, and although this is a unique kind of cost, character slot. Hunter has the same thing, but it makes you 2v1 (even though your ally kind of sucks) and gives you Rush Dog and a Buff to make your ally less weak, I’m not gonna say it’s entirely worth it but Hunter doesn’t feel like ■■■■, I was planning Falconer 2, now I pretty much have to go Falconer 3 for the ability to have the third ally I wasted a slot for.
When my Sorc does more than my archer with a much lower cost and way less effort, I feel like my Falconer sucks. My mage has 15 pets and it costs nothng, I guess it costs me by having a higher point investment in spirit for them, but still that’s not a big deal compared to not having an awesome Paladin Inquisitor because I went Falconer and I gotta store this garbage in my house instead of letting it fly off when I log out like it does after every cast of a move.
It’s just not worth it.
