the million dollar pet

[EeyonRN]

i was bored today, so me and sparky went on a little shopping spree in the bazaar. i noticed there were some steel hilted daggers (625 proc) pretty cheap. i couldn't remember if pets could dual wield lores, so i gave my pet a dragoon dirk, then gave him another, and it worked fine. bought a dagger, put it in shared bank, bought another dagger, a tolapumj robe (36% haste), and some cheap dex stuff to fill out all his inventory slots. he ended up having +165 worn dex.

i wasn't really sure if that dex stuff would do any good, but i figured i might as well go all out since the stuff was cheap anyway. i know pets don't have stats caps like pcs, and i know they tend to proc differently than pcs, but i wasn't sure how much if any dex even effects a pets proc rate, and what, if any, are the diminishing returns on dex for a pet. i know these things have been somewhat broken down before, but pets have also been changed a million times.

anyways, i went to droga and fought for about half an hour. pet was running with ios/md/diaku/fa stack, so he had about 700 dex at the time. this was the worst (continuous) minute parsed in terms of damage in that span:

the melee damage was pretty bad for that minute, coming in at 55dps, and the procs were slightly below the average, but obviously procs vary a lot. with pretty close to a median in proc damage and lower than average melee damage, it came out to this:

3389 melee
+6000 panther
+2500 conflagration
___________
11,889/60 = 198.15dps

not too bad considering that was the worst minute that i cut out. worth the money? well, no, but it'll be fun while it lasts. hopefully suspend minnion II will be friendly to me for a while.

[EeyonRN]

heh. i thought that melee damage seemed a little suspect. i logged back in and did a report health. no sltw...

[Giac]

Why did you not buff Wunshi again?

[Zethrir]

The other combo is more dex, pet wasnt tanking so didnt need hp's

Zethrir

[Shamylamy]

The tolapumj robe works on pet? If so is it a noticeable difference between it and the haste mask from mages?

[EeyonRN]

because its less stats than infusion/deftness and as far as i know, pets don't have stats caps.

[EeyonRN]

[Giac]

[EeyonRN]

[Samanna]

lol

[EeyonRN]

kinda hard to determine the effect of the dex since there's so many variables, and procs take so much time to look at objectively, but in the runs i've done so far, panther is clocking in closer to 100dps than the standard 90 and daggers doing about 40dps.

You just know people will use your 70 seconds of damage and claim it's average sustainable dps for us, and complain that we want a dps upgrade in our top ten.

I was under the impression that our pets were statless shells with just a base attack, AC, and hitpoints. I remember reading a post to that effect on the old site (Velious era?) with stats etc showing no significant effect from str/dex/sta.

That might have changed with the advent of BST, but have you parsed a difference in DPS with/without stat buffs?

One of these days I'm going to have to spend a whole day giving a pet a thorough testing. For what it's worth, I believe the following are true:

* Pets have an innate AC and ATK value, along with skills for dual weild, parry, riposte depending on level. They also are affected by stats to a certain degree.
* Our wolf seems to have around ~600AC, as unbuffed and ungeared they get hit for the maximum alarmingly frequently. Below 1000AC adding extra makes a huge difference in shaman mitigation - I strongly suspect it'll be the same for the wolf as well.
* Adding extra ATK seems to boost the frequency of maximum hits.
* Adding extra DEX seems to boost the frequency of procs.
* Adding extra STA doesn't boost hitpoints.
* Damage modifiers don't stack, the highest takes precedence.
L67 wolf (base L63), regular hit 68, 5% mod 70, 10% mod 73, 5% and 10% mod 73
* Adding extra AGI should in theory add avoidance AC but its effect is minimal on shamans, let alone pets.

Logically pets are treated the same as mobs and the recent introduction of monster missions has been a real eye opener.

Certainly the lower level monsters (L55 and below) have pitiful AC and ATK, barely reaching 1000, with stats that are in the 100s. In Nagafen's lair for example the L49 clerics have 800ish AC, albeit with 14K hitpoints! The L65 shamans in a werewolf mission I tried had skill caps that exceeded our class caps (225 offense and defense, 100 H2H) and over 2100 AC. No parry or riposte was listed though and I know shaman mobs in EQ can double attack, parry and riposte. I suspect they can dual wield as well. In short, I strongly suspect there's a template that's filled in with every mob in the game, with values for all the stats and skills. It's pretty likely the values for our wolf are set lower than those of say beastlord warders, but until they add a shroud or monster mission where you play as a pet all that can be done is to make educated guesses!
