Beast Farms and C5

Recently I have been living in Beast Farms lvling up. It was nice, tame a buffalo who buffs you and heals you along with a good area for a BH.
In C4 once you tamed, lets say, a buffalo all Raiders had a longer aggro range to it then to you. So just because you werent in aggro range of the Raider, your buffalo could be and the raider would attack it. That was fine though, it didnt hit it that hard and the range was fine.
Now in C5 it seems they doubled the aggro range! Also on top of that Raiders eat right through the tamed buffalo's HP. So if you tame a pet there you are forced to always stop hitting the mop you are hitting and protect the buffalo since Raiders come out of no where to kill them now super fast. Lets ignore how they heal in C5 compared to C4 since they use greater heal...nothing is to wrong with that.

Beast Farms was a great place for a BH to lvl up and spoil, IE take advantage of the dwarf strength and make money. Only a few bots, like maybe 10 I have seen in the past 2months, and no one really hunts there.
With this new increased aggro range it benfits the few bots I have seen seeing that they dont tame a buffalo cause they have their trusty SE in the bot party.
I am going to have to stop taming buffalos which means an increased cost of pots per hour and a huge decrease in profits seeing I will also have to always use a gsap instead of getting a haste2 buff from a buffalo.


Long Rant so flame away if you must. Just mad cause my main character is a lvl 70 BH and they found away to nerf a good BH hunting area while giving non-pole dwarfs no new stuff. Was glad when I first saw C5 info, no good stuff for dwarfs but no nerfs...didnt count on the hidden nerf though.

they nerfed beast farm so my nuker sub cant lvl there anymore
im a very sad dwarf :(

Isn't it the same place where A-grade helmet recipes spoil now? :)

Not yet, or at least if one can believe the patch notes. But they are spoiling there on the live Korea servers, yes.

Now I kinda had written off Beast Farm due to those recipes already, but the OP had me really scared there. For me the Beast Farm has actually slightly improved, as the tamed beasts seem to be healing more frequently and definitely make no attempts at running away.
What about those long range aggro mobs you ask? Not where I hunt, near the center, just top level Raiders and Grendels, their aggro range has not changed. But the bandersnatch range is insane now and the lower level Raiders are happily joining the fray. So I can see how things have gotten a lot worse for people in the periphery.

Of course once the A helmet recipes DO spoil there, kiss of death. :p

yup
