To try and make it an easier to read summary: First, Elidroth lead off with a statement to the effect of: DO NOT ask for increases to pet AC in AA… What Elidroth said YES to: Hastened VT; yes Host in the Shell; 1 new rank, increase cap, remove hit limit (since has dmg cap) Extended swarm; can add a few Destructive Fury; can do small upgrade Hastened Elemental Union; yes Increase Elemental Ward; yes, some Increase Mana Reserve; yes, some Silent casting for pet, VT causes massive agro; yes, but easier to hate override VT, reduce button smashing Hastened Drape; can add 1 Hastened Cloak; can get some Elemental Form: Air stun proc to 108; yes Hastened Call Hither; yes, can cut in half Hastened Aegis of K; yes Quickened Aegis of K; yes Fix Companion’s Blessing; yes, maybe fixed by Sep patch even --MAYBEs— More procs to VT; maybe a few Eradicate Magic (beneficial only buff strip); maybe for all pure casters Improve DPS of Servant of Ro; can definitely look into Passive/activated pet melee crit, not linked to FBO; possible, need to ask coders, if possible can look into Secondary Bind; maybe for all pure casters Self only Quickened Modrod activation (lower cooldown timer); maybe Increase modrod damage/mana returned; maybe, need to discuss to team A short re-use pet cure; let me think on it Increase other 3 elemental forms: will look at, no promises Turn summoned; will look at increasing Upgrade Host of Elements, DPS and HP; will consider --NO, will not do— No fail gate; cannot do, code restrictions Hastened Silent casting; no Increase Fortify Companion damage cap; no, see original statement Spell Casting Subtlety; no Hastened & Extended Burnout; no, can keep it up 25% as is Can add an AA so Servant of Ro can assist us; no Hastened Swarm; no ‘Defensive Burnout’ same timer as Frenzied, but allows pet to tank better; see original statement – no Shifting Elements; no Chaotic Benevolence; no, too soon Hastened Force of Elements; no Headshot/decap ability for pet; no Monster Summoning AA; no, think Elidroth didn’t understand what the magician was requesting Thaumatize pet; no Proc that allows for RS pet refresh, while nuking; no Hastened Rains; no Increase to crit damage; no Pet weaponshield ability; no Increase HP threshold for Mana Reserve; no Proc ‘of many’ off spells cast; no Hastened Companion of Necessity; no These are in my words, not exactly what Elidroth said; if you want exact words, look up on EQResource.
Thanks for putting this together. Looking back at the list, we actually accomplished a fair amount. We didn't get as much in the way of pet defenses as I had hoped, but it was definitely productive.
Wasn't the companion's blessing fix going to be in the September patch according to the irc chat? Reading the patch notes it doesn't look like it made it.
