This makes sense in context of what we know about mitigation. Once you’ve got enough ac to max out your mitigation against a mob adding more ac will do nothing.
This is the other side of the same coin - once you’ve got enough attack to minimise a mobs mitigation then adding more attack (through strength) shouldn’t do anything. Very good findings! I wonder how narrow the window is for where adding str to a pet will actually improve results. I would expect there is a similar cut off against deep reds where you simply can’t add enough str to begin to break through the mitigation. Quote:

Probably pointless after 4 lvls. Especially with pets. Buffing an already 125 str twinked player probably doesn't do much more for them except vs the redder mobs. This is one reason elves are amazing and EQ is so great. | |||

This is a bit related, and a question I was going to ask in the caster forums: at what level should I start lugging around a bunch of torches to give to humanoid pets to make them dual wield? I’m level 37 currently, haven’t been doing it
Second question: I only need to give them 1 torch correct? I heard that it automatically goes in offhand and then they main hand punch and offhand swing the torch? Or would I need to always give the charmed pet 2 torches? | ||

For curiosities sake you can give them a torch and a weapon or two different weapons and compare the hit messages to see how much they dw, e.g "hits" vs "crushes". | |||

On the subject of accuracy, as discussed you can't really boost it per se, but you should be able to lower the target's avoidance (which essentially boosts accuracy by proxy) by lowering the target's agility. I've always imagined keeping shallow breath / equivalent active on the higher con mobs really helps the pet land more hits, but perhaps this is an illusion granted by the smidgen more dps the spell brings from magic damage.

Please send more pet/mob buff research, I thirst for it. This thread is fantastic. Could try letting a mob beat on you with and without cripple.
