Sorry I missed a word in there... Should be NEAR immune to fire hehe..

I remember very specifically raids on Lord Rak'Ashiir where I was using my fire pet with a few other mages to kill Rak, and it was quite rare that my pet would be affected by the AoE, and was almost always fully resisted, but when it would go through it was always partially resisted way down and that AoE has a -100 fire resist check.

If a -100 resist check AoE hardly ever lands, then it's safe to say that mobs that are casting fire based nukes that are class based (which more often than not have a 0 resist check unless it's a wiz but they only have an innate -10 resist check on some of their nukes) then it's pretty obvious that the pets don't have their innate high resistance like on live.

If you look at the comments on rak-ashiir you can see a ton of people talking about using mage fire pets to take him down with only a few pets. Rak was never really that difficult, never hit very hard. It was all about the AoE that made things difficult.

This is true. I've killed Rak'Ashiir many times using a magician pet. I don't recall the AE ever landing. The fire elementals right now should be more or less immune. I admit I haven't tested out the resist of the pets, but I have noticed that they are higher now than originally.

If someone has tested their pets resist and found it to be lower than required then me might need some tweeking. I personally can't really attest to the pet resists until I'm able to get it with Rak'Ashiir himself, because that's really my only baseline for resists on the fire pet.

Cheers!
