@rosendoichinoveb17_ESO
This statement is false. I have personally tested it. Although pets do lightning damage, all of their damage comes from max magicka. Boosting spell damage, whether specifically lightning related or not, does nothing for pets.

Are you sure this is accurate?

Doesnt matter if that's accurate its facts that necro pet build is atleast 5k minimum more dps than netches.

Whether netches boosts shock or not..

It's not though. As long as you use a pet rotation, Julianos/Netch gives the same DPS as Necropotence/Moondancer with a margin of <100 dps.

I dislike the pets and always refused to play the PETs meta. I now have something I can play (without PET) and still do DPS with a mag sorc.

And now every sorc in tamriel is running netches and julianos. And the dps is not great at all.

Sorc pets still dominate parses when it comes to sorcs whether you like it or not.

Pet sorcs still doing 40kdps with necro moondancer may i ask what netches julianos is doin in parses?

Highest i ever seen was 30k which is sad for a sorc. So what gives?

I know title seems little harsh I really dont care what people run as long as they know its not bis. But i really dont get why people are going out of way to make a weaker build.

I had a guildmate change his sets to netches julianos iceheart from moondancer necro and vma staff and hes doin 7k less dps now.

So is netches worth it at all?

Oh well . get over it

No

im going to make it my goal now to just use that set lol , all gold set but thats all ill put on till i run into you . then ill take it off and see how you like no dps .

Was wearing netches well before this patch, and will continue to wear it. I don't use Julianos, I wear it with spider cult. Personally I don't like using pets. I do fine with my setup. Caged a few things this patch but not much.

Pets are good on target dummies. But whenever you really need that extra DPS from pet in a boss fight, the pet is gonna chill on the closest mountain, or tree, or just hang in the air on Selene because when the spider web disappears, the pet ignores gravity.

@GrumpyDuckling
Yes. 100%.

@dpencil1
Wow, I've been using Netch since One Tamriel and had no idea. Is it just the pets' "light attacks" that aren't affected by spell damage or lightning damage, or are their second activation abilities, such as pulse also unaffected?

@GrumpyDuckling
Everything, unfortunately. Until the day they readjust pets to scale off of spell damage too, anything that increases spell damage (Netch, Julianos, Weapon dmg glyph, Major/Minor Sorcery, etc.) will have 0 effect on any damage produced by pets.

I tried to get rid of the pet too, but it just isn't feasible.

What is discussed a lot is how your dummy parses will be better with the pet, this is undeniably true.

But what is discussed less and is in many ways a more significant factor, is how much better the Aoe damage is with the pet.

The aoe damage is so much better with the pet it's insane. No comparison in any way, shape or form.

For that reason the pet becomes a must in 9/10 PvE scenarios. The higher dps is just a bonus.

You can still provide great dps without the pet (theoretically), but in many ways you are crippling yourself if you don't run it.

A few percentage point nerfs to a mundus stone makes this set useless now, what is your logic based upon?

It's not useless it's just not optimal at all for sorc

Switch to necro/julianos or something similar and get that pet out there. No way around it.

I told you its based off the parse lol. Its weaker. But i did get some reasonable responses i really dont care as much as the original post i just wanted to get peoples true thoughts by throwing some extra shade it to get some more defensive reactions

I still have yet to hear anyone say they do 40k dps with netches julianos lol. Just saying

vyndral13preub18_ESO

I just put it on my stamplar to teach you a lesson. Take that.

I find it quite amusing how when I made my sorc 2 years ago, the class was considered the bottom of the barrel and no one wanted to play it while the pets were completely useless except for some solo meat shields. Now its like all of the elite min/maxers are playing the class and demanding all sorcs use pets. Funny how things can change.

Apherius

yep , i was wearing this until i test 5 necro + 5 julianos + 1 iceheart + 1 maesltrom staf infused back barre , have much dps that 5 netch + 5 julianos + 1 icehard + 1 maesltrom staff infused back barre. I still need to test 4 aether with julianos and 1 domihaus + 1 iceheart.

Feel the same way, now when I play my sorc, to every average joe I'll look just like any other meta player.

Was fun getting flawless conqueror as a VR16 without using pets, now ppl can faceroll VMA with those pets.

Not sure if sarcasm or?
The scamp is a wacky little thing but the point stands VMA is faceroll as a mag pet sorc.

WRONG, the sorc pet scales off of multiple variables from it's host not JUST max magicka.

He obviously meant 5/5 and VMA staff.

Blairy087

Sorry I forgot your the one playing my game.

That's what i'd say if I actually had a sorc. Who cares what ppl run? Stick with your min/max buddies if you don't like it :'(

I did, and it's true. Pets ONLY scale with max magicka.

This is completely false. Show me parses that prove it.

I for myself get more dps with netch than necro, even when using a pet.

jlboozer

I tried swapping to netches\julianos and actually got better DPS with julianos/willpower/ilambris for some reason. Maybe its just me, I lost 3k dps with netches

idk

Pets stealth with you. Not sure why you think they don't.

They stealth, so they should be fine while in stealth, but in PvE, when on a quest in disguise, pets will be aggressive when near an NPC that is neutral due to you being in disguise. It is not attacking one of the patrols that do not become neutral since you cannot get near them.

It is funny to watch. All the other NPCs are still neutral to you and as long as the pet keeps agro your disguise remains intact.

I am using Netch/Juli because I could not be arsed to either Farm or Buy a 5-piece Necropotence set wich will eventually be nerfed in some patch anyway.

Stannum

99% of players do not go meta. A few days ago i ran vFG2 pledge with random group on magwarden DPS (also non-meta 5MS+4IA+2Iceheart) and was doing from 72% to 78% of group damage (on different bosses), i don't know what build was running 2nd DPS (NB DW\bow) but i wish there were sorc netch+jully instead.

Saw it in Rawl'kwa some days ago, scamp was fighting npc but could not see sorcerer.
