Its sound on text, but an absolute nightmare to implement in a balance in actual practice, especially when you already have scholar's selene for that.
i was just throwing out SS on Ramuh as an example. I said whatever a pet brings, it should 1. match in value what we lose from not having out a dps pet 2. Not push another player's role to extinction and 3. Be equal to using any other pet.

As I said above, a pet that increases the potency of our dots to equal the dmg gained from 5 more ticks given by Garuda, useful in those fights where mobs just don't live for those extra 15 seconds. Or a pet that boosts the groups dps, or boosts the healers heals etc. be creative but restrain any ideas to fit the 3 points I made.
