“Level appropriate” here can even be defined as xp giving green cons in KC with a 60 max summon water pet. The differences in a zone like KC are most pronounced when fighting Warlords/Bodyguards/pit trash. In higher level areas like Kael arena, SG, Seb, and DN the benefits are more universally obvious.

Cheers and happy hunting.

(Ps: shamans can actually test this out easily over time especially at 60 because they can self buff their 55 pet)

Shady Swashbuckler is a lvl 45 merchant with pretty high AC. Here is just a short run. Two fights each, combined and averaged (one pair of unbuffed, one pair buffed).

Only Celerity: 2 fights @ 834 seconds. 10,766 damage to Shady Swashbuckler (lvl 45 merchant)
Konekn (52 hitting lvl 55 pet) = 12dps. Max hit 36; average hit 20


Maniacal Strength, Focus, & Celerity: 2 fights @ 853 seconds. 10,566 damage to Shady Swashbuckler (lvl 45 merchant)
Konekn (52 hitting lvl 55 pet) = 12dps. Max hit 38; average hit 21

Id parse for longer than that but 31 minutes doing this is watching paint dry...
