Mage Pets - Pet Power Increase Effects

[Jameus]

I did some testing today to see how two different Increase Pet Power effects modified my pet. As is turned out there was no change in how these pets were increased in power. Below I will give a detailed analysis of my findings.

My first test was as follows:

Use Ancient Frozen Staff of Primal Elements which uses Enforce Elements to summon a Pet.

The resulting pet would be level 74 and have a base of 28000HP.
With 3/3 in Elemental Durability AA (increases pet HP by 10%) the pet spawns with 30800HP.




Now I'll get into what happens with Pet Power Increase Effects.

I summoned the same pet only now I have an aug Augmentation of True Order equipped. This has the effect Minion of Eternity and results in Pet Power Increase by 25.




So, I get rid of that pet and remove the item with the aug and stick it into my backpack. I then proceed to equip Jennu's Sandals of Creation which have the Focus Effect: Ritual Summoning. The effect is Pet Power Increase by 30. As you can see by the image below, there is NO change from the 2nd pet I summoned using the Minion of Eternity focus effect.




I'm not exactly sure how many HP the pets should have when their power is increased but it would stand to reason the difference should be noticeable between 25 and 30.

I'd also like to note that before the summon pet spells were changed to increase their max level to 80 the effects were the exact same as they are right now.

Ok, something for Striat then. THanks for the feedback.

[Jameus]

Ok so I upgraded the boots on my mage to Frozen Glyphwielder's Slippers which have the effect Servant of Chaos. The effect is Pet Power Increase by 40.

Again the stats of my pet without buffs are exactly the same as with the Pet Power Increase by 25 effect. So it would appear to me that these effects are not being calculated correctly whatsoever! Hope this helps

Yup - thanks again for confirming the different focus type. Striat is aware of this issue and hopefully has a fix soonish (tm)

[Jameus]

Just figured I'd add as much info as possible Overall I'm very impressed with my pet!

I'm sure Striat is probably aware of this, but I saw a code posting pertaining to this over on the eqemu boards and thought I would reference it in case he hadn't seen it. It wasn't committed to the server code because it added items to the pets at higher focus levels, but might be a good place to start.

aabamzen, that does look like a great start to something good for sure. Striat is awesome so I'm confident when he's got the time it'll all get worked out

On a side note, I'd LOVE for pets to be healed with group healing spells like the cleric epic click effect. Of course the pet owner would need to have Pet Affinity for this to work.
