So did this ever get fixed?

Glad to give closed door testimony and work with a pal with source commit powers.

Abridged version on things wrong:
Mage epic pet resists are too low
Mage epic pet runspeed without any sow/buffs should be just a tiny hair slower than jboots (nipping at your heels)
Sowed pets should be faster than sowed players
Pets with magic resist should be nearly unrootable/uncharmable - roots on them if they manage to land should almost always break within 1 tick. Epic pet should be like this by default. Basically impossible to charm/root/snare with MR buff - yes even MR buffed shaman pets that were light blue/green were this brutal to deal with when buffed with resist

Resist rate against their own pet spell stuns/nukes/melee "felt OK"

I mean according to https://thesafehouse.org/forums/foru...381#post167381

-mages suck- they got no hp or shield skin. mage epic can just be rooted, or dispelled then feared.

Poofing and MR issues seem accurate for mage epic in this era. Even with a MR buff this post implies that root regularly lands and only with fears need one bother with a dispel.

Resist magic'd pet should be about impossible to root or otherwise. Epic mage pet MR is prob still too low.

That's the fix.

immune nope. resistant yes

but if mage pet is going to resist root, i want to be able to resist blind with 50 mr and be immune to root at 90mr as well, right now if i have 200 mr and get malosini i get blinded, which feels far from classic, blind wasn't even a thing on live

Charm poofing pets was a classic bug.

Banishment already has no effect on the epic pet.

Its movement speed is the same base speed as all other pets, but old anecdotes claim it was about as fast as jboots/runspeed3. This is probably something that remains unchanged on Live to this day and could be confirmed there.
