For a damage that is so common in game I find it a little odd that there is just so little to provide enough flexibility in covering this for pet builds. I’m really hoping that in the next expansion there are more items, devotions & augments that are able to give pets the protection that they need to survive from this very common and powerful damage type.
It would also be nice to be able to increase maximum resistance values as easily as it is for players as well. Thanks to the new Shattered Realm “Blessings” we can get a nice +2% to all values but that paired with Empyrions light, a devotion that not many pet builds go for… will only get most resistances to 87% where as some builds can easily get 90+ across the board and some even as high as 100% idle!?
Max resistances may perhaps be asking for a bit much at this time but the fact that there are so little options for pierce has prompted me to post his thread.
EDIT: I have been reminded of a long lost item that I once used but have since forgotten about that also add +5% maximum pet resistances! The Eye of Dominion While I have no idea if there is or will be a planned a Mythical version for the item I would be forever grateful to see one sometime in the future~ After all the item hasn’t been changed since version 1141.
I also want to state how gracious I am that my modest ask for a soldier bonus on the Everliving Grove Gloves was granted.
