It was late and I was in so many tells after getting it to really test it, but I could've sworn I saw the AOE avoidance go on the pet along with the crits. Our swash duelled me to test if it was working and he said his AOE didn't hit it once the buff proc'd on it. I'll check again tonight.

Very cool, grats on the disco.

I guess I won't have to worry about getting the master mage pet now.

For sure if you're in a guild that can clear VP I wouldn't waste the money on the mage pet unless you're one of those crazies that likes to collect all your class master spells just because, like me

The thing I really like about the new pet is that it's actually buffed like a real mage would be...high intelligence/power pool/resists (hopefully the resists work).

I don't really look at the poisonous blast proc for it's ae immunity, I like the 20% pet crit and our damage proc is good as is. In it's present state our pet had better be alot better than the conjuror pet if they want to consider these items remotely equal.

so how much does splurt actually add? been really curious if it is a straight % increase (like first tick 0%, second tick 5%, third tick 10%...) or if it was a straight addition (like first tick +0, second tick +100, third tick +200...). also if the added damage increases the BoE cap or if it goes toward the BoE cap or it doesn't effect it at all. i am guessing since it doesn't effect LB it is probably not anyone near as good as 10% base damage (guessing it doesn't add to BoE cap either).

overall i am pretty happy with this item (for the sake of being optimistic until i see what kind of increase it is i will assume splurt is about even with 10% base damage).

The only masters worth a fuck dropped while I was an ascendant app... I can't get a break for nothing!

I'm still only running masters:
single target heart, necromantic pact, pandemic, and out M2 choice.

reading the conj forums they are saying their's is a 30% upgrade over master 1, in chat channel last night someone said ours was 20% upgrade over master 1. if true that sucks.

From what I observed its hard to pinpoint how the scaling goes. Each tick fluctuates on say soulrot, but it does scale up. Yea it scaling on LB woulda been soooo sick but guess we didn't get any love. I'll have better numbers tonight.

Heh no, I am not a master fanatic if I dont need them.

We have cleared the first 2 wings of VP, but have not tried the 3rd yet, and the last change to Nexona has set us back some but I have faith we will get it done.
