Dev Request: Grant Pets 50% of the potency of the Master's active buffs

[Alhanelem]

Nursery Nazuna feeling a bit sheepish? Faithful Falcorr, just not quite faithful enough? Even Courier Carrie isn't carrying its weight these days?
It's okay, we understand. While it won't be through receiving a percentage of their owner's buffs, rest assured plans are set to increase pet strength!

Good. I just hope you've read the threads where some of the strongest pet job users have their pets doing 1-2% of the player's total damage at best.

I hope the designers were aiming for something a LITTLE higher than that...

Faithful Falcorr, just not quite faithful enough?

He left me for a mustached Galka in a Triplus subligar. I'm...pretty broken up about it.

That aside, I'm wondering about the scale of the pet update. Is it meant to make damage from pets hold a candle to melee with any kind of buffs, any kind of buffs at all; or is just to roughly restore the current status quo in relation to the new 100+ damage one-handed weapons and 250-ish damage two-handed weapons?

Incoming "trade your Nirvana/Kenkonken/Aymur for Stout Servant IV and pet using mythic WS" goblin npc.

But seriously, SMN better be on the list.

[Camiie]

So we're going to be able to tape one of those new Delve weapons to our pet?

[Tarquine]

the real question is... When ?

[Kristal]

After being told we're getting a pet with piercing, I'm kinda rooting for a DRG grasshopper that has a damage rating in line with the crazy new weapons.

Don't forget the new automaton with wave motion cannon (With aoe melee obviously!

[HimuraKenshyn]

I just like my puppet to survive more than 2 seconds in a revive as well.

[Cahlum]

Can we please have clarification on if this will affect the other pet jobs, especially SMN whose avatars are in a major need of a DMG upgrade!

[Horadrim]

and DRG's wyvern!

DRG needs help, but let's not pretend it is actually a pet job. They'll just hurt it more of they focus on DRG's wyvern over the discrepancies in usability between that job and other melee DD's.

Lobison, can I have it?
