Game Mechanics: Magician Epic Pet Speed

[Nirgon]

This won't be settled by patch notes pal. I've offered my memory of fighting this pet many times. It was faster compared to the other mage pets, but by no means had innate SoW speed. It was very, very magic resistant compared to others. I'd say like 1/5 roots stuck versus every single one. Also, the point to consider here (and possibly the reason for its "innate resistance") is it conned much much higher than other pets iirc.

I'm not sure if the damage shield was dispelled or not, but Kringe's Velious geared (Breastplate of Eradication, full Kael, many ToV pieces, primal) warrior beat this fucker 1v1 by a nose.

I spent some time recently researching this pet because it came to my attention that the thing was enraging in game.


So far:

Magician Epic pet should run about as fast as jboots.
Magician Epic pet should not enrage at low health.
Magician Epic pet will be slightly more magic resistant.

Fixed, pending update.

Sent this to Kanras last summer.

You might want to check with him before changing, he might have some other evidence of it enraging.

I had mage epic on live during velious, can confirm never enraged. Maybe it did early on in kunark, i wouldn't know about it

Please do realize the reason epic pet was very magic resistant on live was because it had around 70-80 innate mr , and you also put a elemental blanket on it (during luclin) which gave it 95 mr, 95 mr on live was probably making you resist 9 out of 10 roots, that's why the epic pet was so hard to control.

The reason it gets rooted here is because of the broken resist system, do NOT bump the epic pets resists to 200 to make it "equal" to what it was on live, cause nothing else is equal to this.

Just saying. Fix resist plz
