Lore Pets questions

I would think Vanguard or Storm Elementals would receive the title for Best AoE, they're both quite solid.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

Speaking of Clockwork, I kinda wish they, along with protector bots, could get the forcefield power change to AOEs like we have. Too often clockwork will bubble all the pets first and the player last.

I was going to post a similar question myself actually.

On my Crab I don't think I could stand looking at anything other than Arachnos pets, but they seem very middle or the road I am hoping they have AoE to compensate because they are melee too.

Does anyone know if their Mind Link is at least perma?

It seems I'm a little late to the party.


Sorry for the semi-necro (hasn't been 30 days however).

I've been on a slight hiatus from the game.

It's probably worth re-evaluating Lore pet DPS rankings if what you're interested in is maximum DPS performance.

Interesting.

Now my curiosity is peaked to find out where that margin is.


Although as others have mentioned my testing was done with out any Interface slotted.

If I remember from my thread about Lore Pets not triggering Interface, Carnies, Robotic Drones, and Storm Elementals were there. Did they also not benefit from Alpha as well? The balance pass is another thing to consider.... Deus_Otiosu, I hope you're looking at this thread. XD Also - have you thought about giving some of the Lore Pets more attacks so they're more competitive with Cimerorans (where the Boss pet has five attacks, and the lieutenant has four attacks)? It would help their attack chains a little, I think.

Thanks for the heads up on this, and from Draeth Darkstar, I might come out of hiatus a bit to test the pets out again.

Maybe next week or two, 5 month old baby makes free time sparse.

I think LOTS of people would like to see an updated list, LineNoise, so I can't wait.

I have come to the conclusion that because of the recharge they are either not ready when you really want them, or if you save them for the AV it makes next to no difference in teams (Longbow aside) and feels like cheating solo.

Perma or nothing for me it seems

Still at least I have my level shift, but I would hope there are no more incarnate powers that you can't have perma.
