Game Mechanics: Pet Haste Cap

[Pringles]

Pets:
Changed Specter pets so they're able to equip items and armor.
Pet-only buffs now automatically attempt to target your pet if you cast them with the wrong target or no target at all.
Fixed a bug that would prevent the creation of Familiars and Warders if the caster had created more than 99 in the same zone during the current game session.
The limit on the amount of haste that can be applied to a pet has been changed (aka. The Pet Haste Cap). The amount of haste that can be placed on a pet now scales with the level of its owner. The scaling occurs in a way that is consistent with how much haste a given caster can place on his own pet (using a Level 56 Magician as an example: The idea is that both Burnout IV and Muzzle of Mardu should be useful).

Wouldn't it make more sense, then, to replace the CHA items with INT
items, so that at least you have the tangible benefit of enough mana for
*another* shot at a mez?

Aug plus fbss is essentially a cap of 50%
