Pet Damage on PTS now

If belownis true, what does that do for pet damage?
Also - I don’t suppose that mean that their damage will scale off Spell damage as well?
All pets will now inherit your bonuses and derived stats. This means your Critical Hit Chance, Critical Hit Multipliers, Champion Points, and other % damage or healing amplifications will be applied to any pet you summon. Item sets that summon pets will continue to not inherent your Critical Strike Chance.

This was aimed at making the stat scaling system easier to understand in the long run; when you increase your own damage, your pets will now follow in scale as such. This is part of an ongoing process to make pets clearer and more enjoyable to use.

Pet sorcs seem very weak atm. They could use a little boost.7 -
codestripper✭✭✭✭✭Well from a quick parse last night before I went to bed I can tell you that with Mother's Sorrow, Necropotence, and Zaans I used to parse 40k and now I quite easily hit 44.6k with some mistakes...so...yeah this patch is going to be fun once I actually adjust my build properly. Going to see about getting closer to 50k with gear and cp adjustments.Since everyone seems to be doing this,

As an aside - why do you wear zaan to parse since you’d never be playing in melee range in trials? Just curious!0 -
NocturnalSonata✭✭✭I was hoping they would do something like this. Need to test it on pts myself. But without some sort of buff to the way pets scale, the racial nerfs would have seen a slice of dps evaporate from petsorc.1

Oh but I do use it in trials. Almost all content actually, the only times I wouldn't use it is maybe the first boss on vMoL or in vAS. Most of the time your group is stacking in trials so you are more often than not in melee range anyways. Even in 4 man DLC HM content and vMA I use Zaans. It just fits my playstyle quite nicely.Since everyone seems to be doing this,

✭✭✭✭I'm trying to grasp how this was a new addition? Pets were already supposed to inherit player stats from several patches ago.Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

I don't know the mechanics of ultimate gain. Is 3 ultimate/second realistic??
And by the way -- how does one get 50 hits with "Fiery Weapon" on a parse that's under 120 seconds, without Torug's in the mix? (Combat Metrics bug?) For that matter, how does one get 76 light attacks plus 45 heavy ones?Edited by FrancisCrawford on January 22, 2019 3:05PM0 -

Parse cheese... or you're like me, stick Zaan on a tank, and then forget it's there until a week later when you're halfway through a vetDLC pledge.0 -
DKMaestro✭✭✭50K with 2 pets is pretty damn impressive - cheese or no. Running the Thief and MS is certainly viable.
Still interested in finding out, if pets now do damage off your Spell Damage. If they do, Necro could be ditched for a set like Spell Strategist...Old man playing. Have a life, a job and only one character, which is grumpy (all the time)1 -

I only do Normal Trials, but I can tell you as my healer or Magicka classes, I am nearly always in melee range. Many strats require people to simply group up, heal through any AoEs, and just burn the bosses down.Edited by kathandira on January 22, 2019 4:52PMPS4-NA.

Dracane✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I already said it on the pts, but pets do not scale with spell damage. They still only scale with magicka.
Pets already do inherit our crit chance, so why they wrote this is beyond me.
Pets do get affected by some CP passives now. Spell Erosion, elemental expert, elfborn and master at arms.
Keep in mind this only applies to their basic attacks. Special attacks have always scaled with your CP (volatile familiar damage pulse for example) Pets are not affected by warrior CP, hence they are still as squishy as before.
So pets now work more like any other ability in the game, which is just fair. Pets were really underpowered on CP pvp. Because their attacks where weakened by enemy defensive CP, but had no CP buffs themselves to begin with.
So let's view this as a needed bug fix.Auri-El is my lord,
Trinimac is my shield,
Magnus is my mind.1 -

So many boss fights where you can actually melee though.
Lightning Atro
Earth Atro
Valariel
Ro-Katu
Both 2nd bosses in vHRC
The Warrior
Mantikora (unless you are in kiting group)
The Serpent
1st Boss MoL if cursed people move out
Twins
Rakkhat (unless you kite/run)
Chickens in vHoF
2nd Boss as well
Spider
Junkyard (you are melee but aoe is usually better)
Depending on tactic final boss as well
Sidebosses on minitrials as well if you don't do +X
Ultimately you'll swap monsterset based on encounter so Zaan certainly isn't just "cheese".2 -

Stacking is the norm. It's the people running about that cause a wipe. Zaan is totally viable and also the dummy bashers use it to inflate their parses. Most parses are with such an unrealistic loadout that they should be ignored.
