Greetings,

i posted this in another Thread and copied it in here because i think it is an important Thing to talk about.

My sorc never really used em. I did long enough to get the ulitmate and then unslotted them.

If you no longer use your pets and have no intention of using them you may want to reset your skill points because whether you have them slotted or not the pets reduce your max magicka by 10% each. If you had 2000 magicka just putting the skill point in for the clannfear cost you 200 magicka. There is another 10% cost if you also use the twilight.

I have checked several times and whether slotted or not the magicka is gone.

People, you talk over the Pos and Pros off the Pets but this Info here is important, if this is true it is a heavy Bug or a Reason not to buy the Pets.

Something is strange about the Stats and maybe the UI. I have tested it on my Sorcerer and the Numbers aren`t ok.

I have had bought the Clanfear, with this Spell in the Bar i have 541 Max-Mana, without i have 541 Max-Mana. I bought the Twillight today and with this i have Max-Mana 541, without it i have Max-Mana 541. I have slotted them both and i have always the same Max-Mana 541, without them i have 541 Max-Mana.

So the Questions are:

1. Is there an UI Bug and i can`t see the right Numbers?

2. Cost a Pet always 10% of my Max-Mana if it is slotted or not? That means, if a Sorcerer bought two of this Pets and don`t use them in the Bar he lost 20% of his Max-Mana? I thought if i put both Pets out of the Bar i don`t have the - 20% Max-Mana Penalty anymore.

I think this is an important Thing to know, or not?

3. Can someone from Zenimax please confirm this or say how this Thing works?

    Pets, same es magelight, reserves mana from you.
    It does not decrease your max-magicka (where your damage is calculated from) but it decreases the amount of mana you can use.

    Under "C" you will not see any changes.

    The bug with the skillpoint sounds funny, i'm not using pets since i reached lvl 20^^ (VT12 now) but i never noticed a decrease of my max magicka, so i think it belongs to the legneds and myths ;)

    Ok but the Question is, can a Petskill that i bought with Skillpoints decrease the Max-Mana that i can use, if it isn`t in the actual or other Skillbar of my Character.

    I mean maybe it is a Legend but how can i see that if i can`t see it under C? I summon/unsummon the Pets to see the Change of my Manabar but to be serious, i can`t see how it works because it isn`t clear to see for me.

    So does a Petskill affect the actual Mana that i can use, if it isn`t equiped in the first or secound Skillbar?

    No. It reserves 10% from your magicka pool when you summon it. Magelight reserves 5. So, if you have a pet and magelight active, your magicka pool will constantly top out at 85% of your max magicka.
