All pets are focused with "Servitor of Scale" focus (so they gain 2 levels and a significant boost in hp/ac/stats), mage buffed (Burnout, Iceflame, epic 1.5) + lobby buffed (Buffmaster) and equipped (mask, armor, jewelry), to be as close as possible to a 'real life' situation :-)
The parses were done on the test dummies in the Arena, these are ideal circumstances, expect lower values on actual mobs you are fighting. The idea is to compare how pets perform with and without weapons and to evaluate if one type of weapon suits a particular type of pet.
This thread is the summary, I will open separate threads for the htlm tables from GameParse, which we can refer to later and you can post your own parses. Also, I hadn't the time to test for every pet all three different weapons (dagger, staff, mace).
- Air pet
Unarmed air pet : slightly over 3.5k dps.
Armed air pet with Mystical Mace of Bashing x2, same result, 3.5k dps.
Comments :
- No difference, the FK mod on the mace does not affect the air pet, see the debate about air pets being monks.
- Need to test with Mystical Staff of Boom
- Water pet
Unarmed water pet : slightly over 4k dps, though pet was positionned behind the dummy for backstabs, and it does so even without weapons.
Armed water pet with Mystical Stiletto of Stabbing x2 : slightly under 6k dps.
Armed water pet with Mystical Staff of Boom x2 : slightly over 6k dps.
Armed water pet with Mystical Staff x1 + Mystical Dagger x1 : around 6k dps, no significant change whether which one is main hand and which one is offhand (idea from Kenichi, thanks !)
Comments :
- A 2k dps gain, because the backstabs value increase dramatically with the backstab modifier on the stilettos.
- The maximium critted backstab raised spectacularly to 20k damage, but it doesn't occur very often, which limits the impact on global dps. It's eye candy actually
- Interesting side note, this max. critted backstab is halfed to apprx. 11k if you give only one dagger to your pet
- The nuke sticks x2 actually seem to up the dps of our rogue pet a bit more than two daggers especially made for backstabs, weird...
- Fire pet
Unarmed fire pet : around 4k dps.
Armed fire pet with Mystical Staff of Boom x2 : 7k dps, best result of all tests. Wizzy ftw !
Comments :
- A 3k dps gain, the Boom staff is clearly a wizzy thingie !
- The maximum critted nuke did not raise as spectacularly as the water pet's backstab, it gained a couple kdps.
- Earth pet
Unarmed earth pet : slightly under 3k dps.
Armed earth pet with Mystical Mace of Bashing : same result.
Comments :
- As expected, a lower dps output as it is our tank pet. It rampages btw.
- Obvious choice for earth pet are weapons which have a heal proc, as daggers, mace or healing swords rank IV
- Monster pet
Unarmed monster pet : 3k dps
Armed monster pet with Mystical Mace of Bashing x2 : same result.
Comments :
- A bit disappointing in dps, I expected it to be higher, also it is the highest level of all (level 81 focused)
- Needs to be tested with the Boom stick.
