On live servers this is a 70+ mages most important spell line(besides a regular pet). On live servers this spell lasts 18 seconds, costs 1650 mana, and depending on your focus hits between 550 - 650 with up to 4 attacks per round. The pet was also a mages only source of CC, it came with built in super agro that made it take agro instantly basically. It was meant to be an offtank. On live servers this pet had nearly 20k hp, and enraged when low. All of that makes the 1650 mana cost a good tradeoff.
On this server, this pet lasts the same 18 seconds, costs the same 1650 mana. However, the max hit of the pet is 209 and it only double attacks. Focus effects do not work on the pet, or the one i have doesnt (minion of eternity). I took 10 parses of the raging servant attacking vlad and the average total damage done was 1566 in 18 seconds = 87 dps. 1650 mana for an average for 1566 damage really? on live servers this pet could easily hit 750 dps for the brief 18 seconds its up. It needs a major dps increase.
As for the pets tanking ability. I have no idea how much hp it has. But id guess less than 700 (he dies on the first hit of enrage to any mob in sebilis). I could care less how well it tanks, with regular pets being so much more buff than live servers, and bots available, this pet doesnt need to tank. However if theres a dps increase that makes this spell useful, its going to need hp's to survive in raid situations.
I'd like to bump this issue with the Raging Servant pet uselessness, and also add to it.
The AA "Host of the Elements" summons about 9 swarm pets for 30 seconds at rank 3 with a 15 minute CD. The problem is that the pets hit for between 10-40, which makes them completely useless. I used them on a normal LDoN trash mob to see how they did, and even with a pally bot + them the mob wasnt under 50% HP by the time the pets despawned.
Here is a link to the swarm pets: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/pet.php?name=mageSwarm
Another AA pet summon that mages get is called Servant of Ro. This pet, at rank 3, lasts 90 seconds and has a 9 minute CD. Here's a link to that one: http://www.thehiddenforest.org/pet.php?name=ServantRo
As you can see, both of those pets have pitiful damage as well as pitiful HP. They're also only level 61. I can't see them ever being used in their current state, so how about a little bit more mage lovin'?
