I understand how the mechanics used to work just fine, I had a mage then too, even if that was still the case the earth pet would need a DS. Also I'd like to point out that post 55/57 you need to haste the pets as well to keep up with mob HP. I'm not sure what you're trying to argue at this point

You know that the Mage pets can do damage without a DS right? The DS is not the only way for a pet to damage a mob. This might be surprising to you, but the Mage pets will hit things. You should try it without DS. They can still kill mobs without that damage shield.
