Companion Stats
Testing Crit
Rocky 375 Crit DPS : 63.36 Crit : 20% Avg Slam : 370
Brokk 0 Crit DPS : 55.64 Crit : 10% Avg Slam : 357
Rocky 645 Crit DPS : 74.79 Crit : 23% Avg Slam : 373
Brokk 0 Crit DPS : 62.85 Crit : 10% Avg Slam : 353
Testing Recovery
Rocky 375 Recovery DPS : 64.53 Slam : 55 Hurl Stones : 5
Brokk 0 Recovery DPS : 57.32 Slam : 47 Hurl Stones : 5
Rocky 645 Recovery DPS : 66.73 Slam : 57 Hurl Stones : 5
Brokk 0 Recovery DPS : 45.20 Slam : 39 Hurl Stones : 5
I don't think recovery works with companions, the difference in slams is mainly because Rocky is on my main and goes in first so always get an extra hot or 2 in. If recovery did anything he would have got more hurl stones in.
Life Steal - Here are some stats from a section of a Master of the hunt Run
Caleb Durr with 274 Lifesteal
Total Damage : 37,781
Health Stolen : 19,718
52% Stolen
Neverember guard with 378 Lifesteal
Total Damage : 46,967
Health Stolen : 17,956
38% Stolen
Dancing Shield with 462 Lifesteal
Total Damage : 71,341
Health Stolen : 37,476
52% Stolen
Caleb Durr with 308 Lifesteal
Total Damage : 38,983
Health Stolen : 20,186
51% Stolen
Testing with 120 Lifesteal gave about 30% Returned. I think 300 to 350 is the sweet spot, giving 50% average.
Both Armor Pen & Power gave roughly 10% DPS increase at 300. I need to test this in a skirmish for better data.
Pets Abilities
Stats taken from 7 Minutes of Master of the hunt
Caleb Durr # 1
Stone Warden : 5408
Caleb Durr # 2
Stone Warden : 3424
Neverember guard
Dutybound : 108,398
This is significant. On foundrys vs a single enemy, Dutybound outperforms stone warden by 10x, in dungeons against multiple enemies as much as 20x. Either Stone Warden is broken and doesn't do anything, or Dutybound procs an awful lot. I've pretty bummed about this as I bought 2 Calebs, but the neveremeber guard seems much better. More DPS, 2 Abilities that hold agro, and a pretty awesome self heal. Caleb is really good for initial agro, if only recovery worked with hurl stones. I will do some more monitoring of this.
Greater Serene Runestone - Data from 7 Min master of the Hunt
Caleb # 1 : 4779
Guard : 4248
Shield : 3717
Average of 8 or so procs, roughly 1 a minute. Lucky if it returns 500 health per fight.
Once my Helmite Ghost Paladin is 30 i will post stats on his Mark that is supposed to grant healing to everyone.
Really didn't have any way to test deflect, I will be lowering all there deflect to 300 and see if it affects anything, but preliminary testing looks like they don't deflect anything. So i don't think they utilize recovery or deflect at all.
Personally I think the best stats for pet tanks is :
Defence : 500
Lifesteal : 300
Crit : 300
The rest on Health
A little Armor Pen or power is nice as well, but it has minimal impact. 100 is all that is needed to get most of the benefit.
