Blight Beast & Skeletal Warrior pet base resistancess

Grim Dawn Ideas and Feedback
1

Hi,

While looking at the pet database on grimtools something seems out of sync:

The Hellhound has essentially 500% resistance to fire
Raven has 500% resistance to lightning
Briarthorn has 500% to poison (seems weird that its poison instead of bleeding btw…)

The Blight Fiend and Skeleton Warrior doesnt seem have a single resistance at similar levels. Shouldnt they have 500% resistance for example poison and vitality respectively to be consistent with the other mastery pets?

Understand that such changes might also require amendments to the vitality resistance portion for Will of the Crypt necromancer skill as well.

P.S. Pet base resistance (on first tab) for skeletons on the database also seems to be a bit too low, being much closer to the raven. As skeletons draw aggro/take damage from enemies in a more similar fashion to the blight fiend/hellhound/briarthorn, perhaps the base resistances should be adjusted upwards to be closer to the other melee mastery pets.

Edit: Based on some replies in the thread, clarifying the purpose of this feedback is not to complain that Blight Fiend & Skeleton Warrior resistances having major issues, but part of a feedback process to improve these two pets (especially skeletons) so that builds around them become more consistent in SR/Crucible w/o resorting to certain items.

Blight Beast has the most damage and OA from all pets. Also can confuse their targets, which is a huge boost.

Skeletons in general have the most damage (together) out of all pets and you can summon a ton of them.

I actually deleted a post I wrote up talking about pet resistances, but I see no problem with blight fiend + skeles having the resists they have now.

Eldritch Hound (bysmiel’s command) is much more of a concern for me, being a temporary, long cooldown pet.

One thing I found strange about skeletons is that they have 0% bleed resist while even a regular skeleton archers have a bleed resist of 118%.
I thought the argument for the high bleeding resistance of skeletons was partial one of realism. Can summoned skeletons bleed now? :smiley:
