I saw several references to this while searching for mage water pet regen posts.

Hi!
Here are the FACTS after necro (best summon ) pet Post patch
1) Pet still hits for a maxage damage of 55
2) Pet now regains 1% HP per tick as oppose of 3% 3 hours ago (with augment
dead on)

...

[Sat Jan 29 00:28:12 2000] You shout, 'they nerfed my pet regen gee'
[Sat Jan 29 00:28:16 2000] I have 55 percent of my hit points left.
[Sat Jan 29 00:28:17 2000] I have 55 percent of my hit points left.
[Sat Jan 29 00:28:29 2000] You say to your guild, 'nerfed pet regen from
3tick to 1tick'
[Sat Jan 29 00:28:38 2000] I have 59 percent of my hit points left.
[Sat Jan 29 00:28:40 2000] I have 60 percent of my hit points left.

Confirmation that it used to be better:

I have heard that our pets get super-regen at level 39, even if they
have burnout on them.

P.S. The level 39,and up pets regen at an absolutely phenomenal rate
(really, you can't even imagine how fast until you see it. It's
disgustingly fast). My pets will heal from near dead to full health
faster than I can recover 2 bubbles of mana. It's pretty amazing. I
don't mind one ending the fight near death at all.

Leaving this here for now and I will come back to it later tonight to search more.
