DPS Values are on all Ranged item weaponry like that. look at FFXIAH's Jug Pet lists. It means nothing. I can't give you the exact reason its there, but its a worthless number for Items that clearly have no Dmg/delay/means.

It gives DEX+6 (obv) and probably something non-visible to pets. If it gives no bonuses to pets (Which i doubt) then its even worse than Animator+1 in terms of helping your pet.

Either way, there really was no reason to expect it to give anything other than DEX and some minor buff to pets.. none of the other animators did. :\
