Game Mechanics: Mage Pet Spells

Rygar · #18 01-30-2019, 02:03 AM

From mcoy's Qien logs, here is a snipped data dump of a Earth pet from Vocarate: Earth (verified by max hit of 58, minimum hit of 16... not sure what P99's range is on that level pet). It is also a vendor purchased spell, see no reason why mage wouldn't have it at this level unless a seasoned mage wants to chime in:

Some of the initial cast times had to be determined by sleuthing the data. So Qien was quading in Cobalt Scar and his buddy was nearby.. sometimes he was in range of the melee hits, other times not. Sometimes a death message is logged, sometimes not. Other times it was by looking at the other members spell casting messages / frequency.

I feel fairly confident in the data breaks, the only exception I saw was the 22 second break in the beginning. This should be taken with a grain of salt as the mage was logged asking for help from Qien. It is possible he was running around trying not to die and pet ran out of range temporarily.

With that being said, it looks like earth pet casts it's root spell between 6-14 seconds.

I didn't want to post the raw data for all to analyze as it contains personal conversations, but a dev can always ask mcoy to PM the relative files if he's comfortable with it.

There are lots of other pets logged within the data, I'll see if I can isolate some of the 4 different types for mages.

Let me know if there are any requests with regards to the pet data (I'll work on posting the hit distribution later, too tired atm).

EDIT: Should mention that the 6-14 second cast time seems consistent with what the Mage Epic pet showed in era (granted it was a mix of procs / stuns). I did some analysis on it here: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...0&postcount=25
