Maybe it is just me, but swarm pets (dumbfire/temporary/whatever) seem really very much underpowered. They seem to have really low to hit, and really really low damage. I wonder why anyone would waste valuable swing/casting/proc time on casting a spell like any of these I have played with.
I am talking about spells like the BL Wild Cat, Bestial Empathy, or Call of the Beastmaster (proc). Clickies like Amulet of Xuzl.
The sad part is they are a part of a lot of weapons and clickies, and are spells that a lot of classes get at 70.
Perhaps the dev team could take a look at buffing the swarm pets some? Maybe base ATK and DMG off of the player's stats or rank somehow?
