What does Sorcerer Pet damage scale off of?

Khaldar

Is it weapon damage? magicka? the higher of weapon and spell damage?

Reilech

Magicka i suppose.

I actually tested it, the Clannfear does 3% of max magicka per hit, twilight does 7%.

Thanks for the info and the research

Sorry, just noticed a mistake in my previous post, clannfear actually does 3% of max magicka per hit not 4%.

For pet builds its ALL about Max magicka. Not only does your pets DPS scale off this stat, but so does Empowered Ward. This means more magicka means more damage and protection for your pets.

You can find more info about pets in the build link in my signature.

Yep, max magicka and spell crit. (pet's get your crit)

Sorry to Necro this thread, but I wanted to know if your character's Spell Damage stats also impacts your pet's damage; or is it just Magicka and Spell Crit?

How viable are these sorts of builds? Are they for DPS?

Pets can also be great for tanks. De-summoning the Clannfear is an instant 35% heal, and the Twilight Matriarch keeps you alive in a pinch.

For healing builds, they can also be a way to supplement the group's DPS while you focus on the party.
