Equipping your Pet

[Scornfire]

Just spent like 5 hours doing stupid, stupid Pet Parses, enjoy

Part 2: Paring is Caring

I'll begin this exercise by Fully Ranger/Chanty/Shaman/Bard Buffing/Burning my pet, aswell as Fully Buffing/Burning him Myself (Including Glyph of Frantic Infusion stage 3). The only thing really missing is my Lingering Nightmares buff and my Chanty's Night's Endless Terror Buff. There's almost 0 chance of you ever being in such a backwardsass group, but I wanted a high baseline to accurately view the impact each item has

I start with Savard2.0 Fully Buffed but with no gear to speak of, adding one slot (which I'll denote in the headers) each subsequent parse. Let's Begin!

Conclusions:
Seems like the main contributors are Haste/Foci and raw ATK, Cleave would likely have had a more notable effect if my Pet wasn't already critting at such a high rate. All in all, if you're doing this on raids, you're probably best off just going full bore to help your pets survivability aswell as it's damage output.

[Scornfire]

Just as a small update, I did some tests with weaps/masks only, namely 2x Fused Coral Knifes vs 2x Brightedges. Don't really want to make this thread a giant wall of text so I'll just summarize the results~

Quite simply, there wasn't any real difference between the DPS output of either set. The Backstab mod on the knifes seemed to raise the min backstab damage from roughly 3k to 7k (And min crit from 13k to 23k), but had no impact on the max bs dmg. This raised the inherent backstab DPS a little, but the proc dmg difference between the two weapon sets pretty well evened it out. Suffice it to say, I'd reccomend sticking with the summoned weaps.

I also went full bore and Equipped PC gear in every single slot, ears/fingers/face etc. It didn't seem to give any boost beyond what the Ethernere Traveler stuff was already giving me... As an aside, I'm kind of running out of Leather Rolls to keep messing around with tests, so if anyone wants to sell me some go right ahead! Would like to see if I can pare down the Equiptment that actually makes a difference on Pet DPS, because it's certainly not all of it

Re: supplies

Don't forget you can /testcopy before using up your gear/supplies and then run the tests on the test server.  When you expend the items, /testcopy again etc.

The levels of nerding-out Scorn attains is unprecedented!

Ha, totally should've done this, sometimes I forget there's even a Test server
