I can see lots of fun with the pets now that their abilities are functional and controllable.



-Pets Now heal themselves for 3% of their life every 2 seconds ** Does this get enhanced by blessed or quick recovery cp passives? Probably not**

Shield: Empowered Ward – Damage shield with Minor Intellect (10% Magicka regen)

Now for the good stuff…

Healing Based Pets

Summon Unstable Familiar: Melee Based Pet + Active Ability Heal - Heals sorcerer and itself for 35% of your Max Health

Summon Winged Twilight: Caster Long Range Pet + Active spell ability – Heals itself and 2 friendly Targets for 20% of your Magicka.

Damage Based Pets

Summon Twilight Tormentor: Caster Long range Pet + Twilight Empower – increases Twilights Attack by 50% for 15 Seconds against targets with > 50% health.

Summon Volatile Familiar: Melee Based Pet + Activate Ability PBAOE damage pulse – Each pulse deals 5% of Max Magica damage. Pulses every 2 seconds for 4 seconds. With a 3 Second stun on final pulse ** I am guess it pulses 3 times. 1st on activation, 2nd at 2 second mark, 3rd at 4 second mark(with stun) **



For a pet build

1. Summon Winged Twilight – long range damage with castable heal (20% magick heal)

2. Summon volatile Familiar – melee pet with pbaoe pulse for 5% of max Magicka per tick and stun.

3. (optional, but if you’re a pet build, why not!) Daedric Curse – increases pet damage by 50%

4. Empowered Ward – shield your pets and gives Magicka regen

5th slot – Up to you, but Crystal Shart for proc. Since you will be casting the heal, pbaoe pulse, and your shield. Crystal Shart should proc quite a bit.

5th Slot – Bound Aegis, more magick for pet scaling abilities, but you’d lose crystal shart damage and stun.



For Bar 2. Remove Daedric Curse, and Empowered Ward and replace with what skills you like… impulse for pbaoe, power surge for self damage.



You can have a PBAOE caster. Lightening Form + Pbaoe pet + Impulse + your shield and twilight heal, or use Daedric Mines or new Daedric tomb. You can also do sword and board for block on alternate bar.



I am seeing tons of possibilities, in theory I am really liking the way they broke down the active abilities for sorc pets. Now you can use the pets and still have active abilities. They aren’t just cast and forget damage over time spells. Tons of PVE options, just tons!!!


PVP: Now we just need them to stealth with us in pvp. That way we don't have to wait 3 seconds to cast them after every fight. If you run with a group/army like I do with BFTP, then you know that stealth is used very very often.
