Hi all.
As the title says, it would be great if there was a way to see more detailed info about our pets. Preferably, each pet known would have a small stats tab, so that we can see things like their DPS, retaliation damage, life regen etc.
Thanks for the great game!
I’m going to second this idea. It’s strange for there to be stats associated with pets that are not listed, especially considering many of them have those stats boosted from different items, skills, devotions, and auras. I’ve been playing a summoner since launch, and keeping track of how those different elements affect your pets is difficult to pin down.
The game keeps track of stats like armor, individual damage types, health regen, dodge, retaliation, and many others for each pet, and i can’t understand why this isn’t available to the player.
Also, there are some stats like Offensive and Defensive ability, for example, which display only an abstract % without a base number from which to calculate. It’s easy to just stack more, but why change how we view pet numbers vs. the way we see our character numbers this way? how are we supposed to know how 54% OA for a pet compares to 2800 OA on a player?
Ultimately. the long term fun in Grim Dawn for many players is Min/Maxing the builds we choose. The obtuse pet stat display we currently have makes that nigh impossible for summoners and pet hybrids.
Have you looked at page 2 of the character screen? There’s quite a lot of info on pets there. Scroll down to the bottom.
I am referring to the display of pet stats on the second tab of the character sheet yes. It is woefully lacking in relevant stats in my opinion. Some of the pets stats can only be seen in the skill tree display tooltip for each pet. However, this tooltip only updates a fraction of the pets relevant stats.
For example, Briarthorn has natural pierce retaliation and that number is listed in the tooltip (adjusted for skill level). This is great, except it is possible to add flat retaliation damage to all pets via gear, devotions etc. like the poison retaliation from Wildshorn Legguards. This shows up nowhere, and what is worse, the %pet retaliation bonus from the gear doesnt show up on the tooltip, but the %pet retaliation bonus from the briarthorn aura DOES increase the Briarthorn’s natural pierce retaliation tooltip value. It is an absolute mess.
So i’m just asking for more transparency with real pet stats so we can make some educated decisions on our build and gear choices like everyone else does. The game has all the information already, it’s really just a matter of adding the interface.
Pet offensive ability is really misleading. Blood of Dreeg and Briarthorn Aura both increase it by a flat number amount, yet we only see a %OA number on the stat page. +% pet crit damage is another stat that should really be displayed. It is featured prominently on many different items, yet isn’t tallied anywhere on the stat sheet.
For a summoner, those are two of the most important stats for your build and they are either displayed incomplete or not at all.
