Hello friends I have all the mage pet focus items for the low level pets. I'm using the lvl 46 earth pet with the shovel and it does the same damage with or without the focus. What's going on? does the focus do anything?
could be that focus just raises his hp, or ac+hp. Maybe just +1 or 2 levels which would make its root land more reliably Pet foci can do literally anything, since they're not proportional power increases like nuke or heal foci. Equipping a correct pet focus makes you summon a completely different (but usually similar appearing) NPC with your spell, which can vary in completely arbitrary ways.
Brohg is right. I also want to say I remember a dev saying (long time ago) the classic pet focus items were very small (ie quite small pet increase). Maybe they did only effect pet durability/level and not hit amount.
