Baseline run: Level 48 Air Pet unbuffed vs 1107 AC Shaman Screenshot 1758 Interested in: Number of hit misses: 252 Number of kick misses: 11 Number of bash misses: 11 Number of hit successes: 373 Number of kick successes: 19 Number of bash successes: 32 Average damage of successful hit: 23.90 Average damage of successful kick: 17 Average damage of successful bash: 16.41 Number of spell attacks resisted: 34 Number of spell attacks successful: 8 Average damage of successful spell attack: 58 Length of Baseline Trial: 596 seconds Trial 3: Level 48 Air Pet buffed with FoS and Primal Essence vs 1107 AC Shaman Screenshot 1819' Interested in: Number of hit misses: 224 Number of kick misses: 8 Number of bash misses: 16 Number of hit successes: 402 Number of kick successes: 16 Number of bash successes: 32 Average damage of successful hit: 25.98 Average damage of successful kick: 17.69 Average damage of successful bash: 16.38 Number of spell attacks resisted: 35 Number of spell attacks successful: 7 Average damage of successful spell attack: 58 Length of Trial 3: 600 seconds Reason for the buffed trial being Trial 3: Test target had a buff fade mid trial 1, pet stopped attacking due to test target getting pushed into a non pvp spot in Arena during trial 2. ------------------------------------- What I got from this: Was initially suprised and dismayed at how little effect FoS and PE had on the pets damage output, but on reflection and looking at the data I am more content. Looks like about 7 or 8% more hits at about 8 or 9% more damage due to the buffs. Am not dissing the buffs, they are worthwhile to cast, over the duration of the buff the difference will end up being several thousand points of damage depending on pulling speed. Not going to prioritize casting FoS over haste when they both fade at the same time, anymore though.
If you test more, add in Avatar also! Question being whether it is more mana efficient to keep pet Avatard, or cast a DoT/Rain
I am afraid I do not understand this comment. I explained what happened to Trials and 1 and 2 in the original post. I do not see me doing this, as Avatar costs an emerald to cast and lasts for a very short time... approx 6 mins.... Is excellent suggestion, just not something I gonna do.
