Personally, I enjoy making pet-specific gear, and this would completely kill my need to do so, which just makes the class a little less interesting in my opinion. Other than it being less abundant (because you need specific pieces of gear), is there a big difference between regular gear stats affecting pets and wearing gear that has additional effects on it for pets? It's easy enough for me to balance stats so that these would come out equivalent power-wise.
While we appreciate the concept of gear with effects designed to help pets there most certainly is a big difference. Gear designed to boost pets (apothic robe and voidcaller ring) hurts the overall summoner dps instead of helping it
Bolded myself for emphasis =) I'm not saying everything I've created thus far is perfect. Since we've never had pet-specific effects before, it takes me some time to figure out the right power balance with them.
