But anyway, I asked the question in the Twitch stream tonight about mage pet canni and if it was going to be made like it was on classic, but they didn't choose my question to answer.
It is definitely still tied to pet hp. You get less mana back from a reclaim on a damaged pet than a healthy one. I would guess it was something like maximum earth pet hp for a given rank (or some similarly high but moving target) was intended to give back 100% mana spent casting the spell. A focused, healthy earth pet inevitably exceeds this hp value and so returned more mana than was spent in the casting.
