Mage Pet: Tanking Analysis

Thanks!

Please feel free if you want. My only reservation is it’s a short parse. Law of large numbers would probably be be more illustrative. That said, the air was consistently easier to heal. It would be my go-to meatshield for stunnable things.

In normal situations the stun is going to do 59dd and the kick a max of 75. That’s is on par with the water DD. When the stun or water DD isn’t landing the kick will do something where the water doesn’t have another melee attack besides backstab.

I know in cases where spells are a moot topic the water pet still holds up nice. It’s mid 40’s on Vindi and usually top few on Xenvorash parses.

Thanks! I think it's enough of a parse to show that there are differences, but yeah more data is more better for sure. Air was always my goto solo pet so I could 'feel' that he was tankier but never had the raw data like this to back it up.

Flying kick makes it up, nice catch, that's pretty cool. Water is definitely DPS king most of the time, I only use the epic on big boss fights because of the guaranteed level, I hate cycling trying for the max level sometimes.

I’m sure the epic is better almost always. Nice to have the air as a backup though. I only learned this week you don’t turn it in for the epic. Shows how much I’ve studied the quest [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah Epic Pet is pretty nice. Allishia provided me with some Epic Pet logs. This is the nerfed pet, and the pet had Burnout IV + Muzzle:

Damage Shield Damage: 1200 in 42 seconds = 28.5 DPS

So it can do around 120 DPS at the upper limit, assuming it is tanking and fighting an unslowed mob. It will obviously do less on a raid mob, this parse is from a regular blue mob.

Damage Taken: 1547 over 42 seconds = 36.8 DPS

The mob was attacking another player for a few seconds first, so the pet would have taken an extra 3 or 4 hits.

[Snaggles]

Mages will smoke most EC pleb monks just with the pet. Adding the DS they will do more than EC rogues. Nuking, well…good luck.

Coth the replacement class or corpse-drag and rez?

The list goes on [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] mages are a great +1 and the best ToV raid class.
