I reactivated Kazmeir recently and mage pets are still casting their spells only very reluctantly. Eyeballing it, I'd say they cast their spells only about 2/3 as often as they should.

Bump

Mage pets aren't casting as often as they should.

Well, I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but if you are messing around with magician pets already, I think you've created a new bug.

For starters, I'm 25 gnome magician with my shovel focus item equipped ( not really pertinent info as the bug relates to damage, not pet health ).

Anyhow, earlier today, I was in Upper Guk, summoned level 24 earth pet and conning them seemed to be working. As in risky conned pets were doing roughly 18-22/23 max dmg and pets that conned formidable were doing 24-26 max dmg.

I logged back on recently, went to Najena. Summoned an earth pet and it conned formidable. I tested it against a mob and it was doing 18 max dmg. So, I summoned a new pet, same thing. Conned formidable and did 18 max dmg. I did this a third time, exact same thing.

I thought maybe it was a Najena zone thing so I left to Lavastorm and tried it there. Summoned a earth pet, conned as formidable, still 18 max dmg. As a level 25 magician, any pet that cons formidable and not risky should definitely be doing 23/24 - 26 max melee dmg, not the bare minimum of 18.


UPDATE: I relogged to see if that would fix my issue and it did.
