Suggestion For Pets

So I have to say i am super disapointed with how far our pets have fallen.

For tanking they are great, but for damage...i feel like the are geared to the i119 of adoulins release.

When i can kill 10 mobs per my pets 1, while wearing a hybrid set, or even still worse i can kill 3-4 per his 1 wearing a pet only set, it feels so lack luster.

I was just thinking what we needed was something like the dunna + geomancy or the corsair ring with + roll.

A + maneuver, that actually does what it says. Apply 1 fire, get the equivalent of a +2 fire maneuver. So if you roll with wind/fire/thunder with a +2 maneuver item, you have 3 fire, 3 wind 3 thunder.

Even with the 1200 jp gift, t4 attachments, and what not, our pets just cant keep up and it makes me a sad pup.

Well on jp forums looks like automatons will benefit from the 'adjustments to melee dmg' and something about using the same formula as beast pets which will raise the upper limit of damage.

Pet wise, Id like to see pets classed into small med large and each have tier damage based on that size

What would that entail?

All automaton are the same size, and are about on par with 'medium' beast pets as far as size goes. While i wouldnt mind my pet doing bst pet quality damage, i fail to see the connection between 'size' and 'damage'

Small being bunny (or similar) bst pets, and drg wyvrens
