+Spell crit and +Spell damage for pet

Myrh · 01-21-2009, 10:43 AM

Anyone crunched numbers yet on if the items that increase Spell Crit and Spell damage for our pets are worth equip'ing (yeah, I know, use the dummy....dummy. But I'm pondering this from work) ?

I normally run around 97% spell crit already and about 790ish spell damage, so I'm now in the debate with myself as to if the items to boost my pets abilities are worth more than items that raise mine even higher in the dimishing returns curve. Right now I can boost my pets stats by about +11 spell crit and +335 Spell Damage with the itmes I have.

From what i have read our spell mod caps at about 650-700. And spell crit at about 130 (this is to get as close to 100% crit on raid mobs). So you like me are prob caped. I have a cloak that gives my pet a boost and it does seem to add about 20dps to pet.
Just a tip rename pet to something not your name and use dummy to test

first, our spellmod doesnt cap at 650-700.
2nd, its worthless trying to increase the dmg output of our useless adn weak pet. put tc on your pet, ia, + lots of pet increasing stuff and let it fight the wall in KJ, you wont notice a difference of more than 30 dps (for dropping your gear and wasting your buffs on a pet which usually dies within the first 5 seconds of tso raidcontent)
And 97 spellcrit isnt that good btw, but in case you dont know what to do with your equipment to increase, focus on spellcrit bonus.

OK then what does it cap at. Very good at flameing, but he was asking for help you fucking retard!! So how mush more damage do you get for your massive spell mod and what is it. My spell mod is 717 and i have 102% crit. I have swaped out crit gear for spell mod gear and i lose DPS on a training dumby. So come on Mr controler tell us how to play the right way. And while your there let hear who your toon is and what guild your in, so i can look at your ubba gear with this massive spell mod. God i bet you are doing like 2k DPS ZW!

So you agree with me to get spell crit up. Well your full of good advice. And 97% crit is ok if it is self buffed, add a trouby to it and a temp addorn

Not everone have a full set of avitar gear. Also if you set your pet you use ranged atack it would not die as much.

And just for kicks

Correct, once you get up around 650 - 700 +spell damage mod, it is a waste to go more as the returns are too minimal vs +crit chance.

Try to hover around 650 - 700 and get as much crit as possible, check out Pinski's post in the sticky for RoK gear.

To give a normal answer,

If base damage increases i suspect getting more spell mod can be usefull as well

I'm hovering around 900 spell mod and 110 crits inraid atm.

Base damage increases it, yes.

I'm sitting at 880 spell mod/88% self-buffed atm, and I'll prob. change some gear out eventually to get even more with the GVB nerfs and stuff.

You don't read very well do you?

So the spell mod cap has been raised what is it now? or is it the way it works that has changed? If so how and can you give me a link to read up on it.
Damm get the calculator out.
