Hiyas,
Sorry for a redundant question, tried to research for info but I found some from early 2016. Is there value to putting more points, or maxing Bonds of Bysmiel when building a pet oriented conjurer?
From what I know, no. You actually get so many points from abilities that you can max overcap it without even maxing out the base 12/12 on it, because you get just so many items with +ranks to it.
Bonds is mediocre at best, if you’re going pets you should do 1pt bonds, 12/12 manipulation. damage is way more important than health and I have never seen my pets go below 70% energy ever.
Manipulation 12/12, bound 1 (2-3-4), but don’t max it
