Eldritch hound

I just started playing a summoner a few days ago, and I was wondering if there is any reason why the hound from the Bysmiel’s Bond devotion can’t eventually scale to be up 100% of the time (duration = cooldown). Even if its damage was nerfed accordingly, I think the change would be beneficial.

That would be nice, but with the Eldritch Hound I see it summoned enough yet sometimes can’t even tell if it’s able to get over and do anything worthwhile in the mess.

Honestly, one of my current gripes with pets, is that it’s very difficult to tell if one or more of them are “slacking”, as far as damage contribution goes. They just kind of do their thing, and you don’t have much of a good way to tell which ones are for certain, holding their own.
