Shaman Pet

As for the unresistable slow on donor. I fixed that in the code. The donor slow will always pierce slow resist now.

Also made shaman malo much easier to land.

And no there will not be a T8 version of the pet. The pet has a base HP slightly higher than the WoS pet.

Other things we could look at are other “pets” for the shaman with similar effects. Maybe a pet that has an AE slow or an AE Malo. Something to really tie into the idea that the pet is a spiritual companion there to aid the Shamans. No guarantee, but I’m open to discusssion.

Maybe an expensive aa to increase their new pet ability?

Was hoping to try out the new pet tonight but no dice

You start talking about ae aura type buffs and I wonder what kind of agro the pet will be generating from it. Shaman pet suddenly taking agro on a few mobs will die pretty fast. It also makes me think if they are aura like aoe just park your shaman pet there and start pulling, let it do its thing and switch for heals/buffs, not much different than now. Personally Id prefer a single target irresistible uber malo pet proc that increases the damage of dot type spells. Benefits everyone and requires the shaman to be more active. Knowing the shaman dots will actually land, I might actually start stacking them even though their dps sucks. My wiz nukes rarely ever get resisted on any mob without debuff so up until now its not really been a big deal if the mob has been debuffed or not. With the risk of being hated, maybe spell resists could be addressed to consider that.

Just my opinion

Reboot happening now to fix shaman pet.

Small change to set up, the spell will now drop from the normal lvl 70 group zones (icewell, kael, etc)


Also, the way the pet heals is not by conventional "healing spell". It calculates the 2% of nearby players HP and adds it instantly to their HP pool if they are <=98%. There is no aggro added to the pet from the HoT effect.

Also FYI. The new pet has base HP of 15000 and AC of 3400. Comparison to draekon pet which is 14000HP and 5200AC. So HP wise it’s actually better but it won’t take hits as well as the T8 pet.

Aww man, logged in, farmed the spell, gated to guild hall to try it out.."You can never use the spell"Wunshi's Protector" Level 255 1hb, guess the spell files etc need updating.

Well that’s interesting. The live DB has it saved as lvl 70.
