Questions about thralls and pets - Age of War

[P.]

1. After the HP nerf, how are thralls doing against sand reapers and enemies who inflict poison/bleed?

2. Are relic hunters still good?

3. Are rocknose pets finally good? Can I bring them for boss fights? Their HP was slightly nerfed and they are immune to bleed and poison.

1. thralls eat food when fighting put gruel inside them and if they have good armor they will heal fast when fighting.

2. yes relic hunters are good if they have good armor

3. not surre about rocknose

Well equipped, high end fighters are still solid. However, I'm not seeing the relic hunters being as good as AoS. I haven't taken a berserker out yet, but mine seem to be more beefy than the treasure hunters I have. Still should work, though.

Pets have become worthless, even a yeti has only 300 base health so without well trained you'll never be able to train them outside of the starting river.
we tried rocknoses on our mostly baseline server and despite them being immune to poison the scorpions and cobras near our base will still wear them down before they can eat enough rocks to heal

All my tames and captures disappeared when I logged in this morning.

I'm really going to miss my horse. Much more than my thralls.

All I have left are the thralls that were assigned work stations.

A problem for me is how the new update made it so hard to level followers. They take for ever to level now. Is it their objective to make EVERY aspect of the game less fun and more tedious?

1. When fully levelled and suitably equipped thralls absolutely wreck enemies, even the highest HP bosses. The issue is that due to their lower HP levelling thralls in combat tends to lead to higher losses than it used to.

2. Relic hunters are still good, as are Cimmerian berserkers and the warriors from around the volcano.

3. No. Some of the greater pets are vaguely OK but in general pets are still very much sub-par compared to thralls.

I havent tested extensively, but they can still be ok. A good thrall, leveled up, good armor, good weapon and with exotic feast will absolutely WRECK most bosses.

2. Are relic hunters still good?

No, RHTS got the short end of the stick in this update. Now its cimmerian berserkers or cannibal brutes. I mean relic hunters are still OK, just not the top. Darfari got super buffed. They start weak but gain bigger bonuses than other thralls when leveling up, being He-man at 20. Its like night and day compared to what they used to be.

Pets in general are terrible now. However, horses got buffed.

Dunno about pets, but despite thrall HP nerf, the HP for monsters are also nerfed as well. They can lose about 50% of their hp when fighting bosses instead of only 10% before the update.

Combat is fast and deadly now, and i kinda like it. Especially as War Party build. Back then all their HP(thrall as well as monsters) are so high, it's quite a snooze fest during boss fights or dungeon run, where u dont even have to participate in the fight, your thralls do it for u while ur eating.

Horse HP on the other hand, seems doubled lol.

very good fighting thrall, namend "Thugra", Thugra has a 100% spawn rate, he will always be there, got a nice buff with 3.0 ( would say better then a dalinsia now )
