Game Mechanics: mage epic pet

[SamwiseRed]

that thread describes how easy it is to root epic pet so I guess we are good on its innate mr.

From what I remember on Live during Velious time frame.

1. Mage pets couldn't be charmed.

2. If the player was charmed, pets would no longer poof. They would attack the NPC/PC who charmed the player.

3. If the player was casted on, or casted invis, their pet would pop (go away).

4. Pet movement speed was affected by NPC and PC slowing spells (PC being PVP). However, if you cast velocity or other movements speed increased spells on your pet after it was slowed, they would now move at the 'buffed' speed.

PROOF Lets get this mage pet fixed plz?

Sounds like we need to reduce its max damage from 81 to 67.

Also this thread mentions shock of lightning being unresistable.

Epic pet dmg during classic Velious:

max hit 81 (magical)
proc 143 (magical)
Stun ?? (magical)
It also has a chance at double kick/bash.

The pet all the way up to PoP release had a ridiculous proc as well. The 143 dmg. I think if you parsed it out, the actual proc rate was 60+ percentage to proc per hit. YES, per hit. I saw x4 81 with x4 proc before.

Call it OP, but it was classic.

EDIT:

The run speed with the epic pet was always about as fast as SoW. WAY different than all other pets.

No. That wouldn't be classic.

From a thread on graffe's, filled with the usual chest-thumping and stupidity, but there was this:

Well, ill give my input here as i have dueled a few epic mages before and playing daily on Vallon Zek (i was first wizard epic on Vallon) I can tell you like it is.

60 wiz epic or not > any non epiced mage
60 wiz <= epiced mage (depending on rolls and how smart mage is)

I have 250 FR, i have done tests over and over on letting a mage nuke me, i thought i would resist all his shit easy with my fr. Unfortuneatly I would say at least 50% of his scars was hitting full, uber fr or no.

Root on his pet was landing about 50% of the time.

I haven't parsed root from a L60 vs. the epic pet, but I doubt it's being resisted as often as half the time.
