I don't see the Summon Bandage summoning a stack of bandages at a time on the list. It starts at 1 bandage per cast at lvl 4 and scales to 20 at like lvl 40 or so.

Have anyone checked the resistances on the pets lately ?

I know of several Kunark nameds, in particulary the big Elemantal in Cleric epic quest where mages was popular with the "old" lvl 49 Fire pet because they were imune to his AE's and hence very usefull as dps. I still see Fire pets take just as much dmg as everyone else in eg Hate when mobs arent stunned and casting Fire AE's

yea my fire pet gets as destroyed by fire based damage as much as really any other type.

My pet partial resists, and full resists more than a quarter of the time with fire nukes. Maybe you're killing things that have a level advantage?

Well the point is moreso that Fire pets should be immune to fire damage regardless.

They were highly resistant, but not immune.

Sorry I missed a word in there... Should be NEAR immune to fire hehe..

I remember very specifically raids on Lord Rak'Ashiir where I was using my fire pet with a few other mages to kill Rak, and it was quite rare that my pet would be affected by the AoE, and was almost always fully resisted, but when it would go through it was always partially resisted way down and that AoE has a -100 fire resist check.

If a -100 resist check AoE hardly ever lands, then it's safe to say that mobs that are casting fire based nukes that are class based (which more often than not have a 0 resist check unless it's a wiz but they only have an innate -10 resist check on some of their nukes) then it's pretty obvious that the pets don't have their innate high resistance like on live.

If you look at the comments on rak-ashiir you can see a ton of people talking about using mage fire pets to take him down with only a few pets. Rak was never really that difficult, never hit very hard. It was all about the AoE that made things difficult.

This is true. I've killed Rak'Ashiir many times using a magician pet. I don't recall the AE ever landing. The fire elementals right now should be more or less immune. I admit I haven't tested out the resist of the pets, but I have noticed that they are higher now than originally.

If someone has tested their pets resist and found it to be lower than required then me might need some tweeking. I personally can't really attest to the pet resists until I'm able to get it with Rak'Ashiir himself, because that's really my only baseline for resists on the fire pet.

Cheers!

Well I know using my fire pet in Najena, and fighting against the magicians that the fire based nukes are most definitely landing on my pet, and for full dmg a lot it seems by seeing 1- 1 1/2 bubs of my pet's health going away in one nuke against a green con magician lol...
