What actually happened in last patch for mages regarding enhanced minion? Or did it not involve EM? Did they up the EM on the EOK ear? Or perhaps make EM23 stronger? I've heard tales of red con pets?
lol at red pets. They increased 2 raid focus ears from em23 to em24. No change for group focus. As well, EM focus mostly changes dps now. Since the last set of pet nerfs, EM has a much smaller effect on pet defense.

None of the sites that usually reflect item changes have done so as of a couple days ago in regards to those two items. That's what brought about this thread.
far as I know that is the highest in game right now.... Source: Live 04/17 Enhanced Minion XXIII http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/spell.html?spell=36997 lists 4 items
No, Compressed Copper Stud and the EoK rare pet ear equivalent have EM XXIV now. Shockingly enough, with the Innate Defense changes, EM foci actually do more for tanking than DPS, though they still do barely anything for either.
