During Velious only Magi dropped it. And Magi is a long respawn with PHers and variance.
So he is only going to add say 1 staff every 2 weeks or something? I suppose that still triples the drop rate.

Is this really true though?

On raids or in groups, a focused max-level water pet should do similar damage (although a group will definitely miss the stun).

Solo the mage can only have 1-2 epic pets before returning to earth/focused air.

The only time the epic pet really seems amazing is in a duo with a cleric, preferably a BP cleric.

Anyway, there is no denying it is an excellent item, but it seems to me more like the difference between a warrior in cobalt and one in indicolite: definitely nice, but not a game-changing item like a Donal's BP. I could be wrong though.
