Bone Army needs improvements
Bone Army line for the bonedancer has been overly nerfed throughout the years. It's rarely spec'd in except for the healing pets which are a not what they should be. Plus BDs are a nice compliment to a guild set up. Totems and TWF can cause midgard sway the battle. Not sure if BS is looking into improving the line. Here are some improvements that need to happen.
1) a new totem needs to be introduced. There was one years ago but got taken away. It should be one that helps a grp set up or gives mids something that hib and or alb have. A couple of ideas are a nearsight totem or Mana drain totem or a pet ward where enemy pets won't enter.
2) sub pets were overly nerfed. They need to be more useful and have a strategy in their uses. An idea is base all the sub pets as undead versions of dead mid classes. Example:
Undead Warrior- sword/shield with haste self buff
Undead Valkyrie- spear, grp HP Regen/ablative proc
Undead Hunter- crit shot for targets 1875-1501, poison arrow 1500-1001 range, rapid fire 1000-1 range
Undead Healer- basic heals, heal defense proc for grp, haste debuff
Undead SM - spirit dmg, self Dex buff, Dex debuff
Undead Warlock- bolts 1500-1000 range, dots under 1500, con debuff, self Dex buff
Undead RM- snare dd, cold debuff, self Dex buff
Undead Berserker- dual wield, haste self buff
***Bolts and crit shot would be 4s, all casting and melee would be 2.7 sec, debuffs and rapid fire would be 2.0 sec****
3) Dread Lord needs to once again dreaded. In this case the BD would be able to whisper the dread Lord and choose it's weapon. He would get legendary weapons heat,spirit, cold,energy. He would be upped to lvl 55 and have the ability to taunt multiple targets if he senses casting done with in 500 radius of him for interupts.
4) the instant dd would be energy based and have a 35% snare every 7sec.
5) remove the taunt and replace it with an energy dd
These improvements would make the Bone Army line become useful again and the dread Lord would be the best pet that he should be and would help the BD be more of an option in a caster grp set up.

BA was nerfed because it was stupid, mainly by nerfing the dread lord back to yellow con.
Now, you want the Dread Lord back to OJ con and have ridiculous pets on top?
