since mortar trap is considered a pet does it get pet bonuses from items? i don’t think so since the skill say that it receive player bonuses but i want to be sure if i can scale the damage further
No, it doesn’t scale with pet bonuses as it’s not considered a pet…
You may have been reading some really old threads and got confused
more than the old posts is the fact that you can choose which enemy it target with the pet attack command
It is technically a pet afaik, just a player scaled one. Can confirm pet bonuses don’t do anything to it, same goes anything that lists that in the tool tip.
It used to be a full time pet in the very beginning. Now it’s not, which is kinda disappointing but way better for the most builds.
It used to be a pet because that was the only way to make an entity that would fight for the player. Then devs figured out how to separate “spell pets” (mortar, mines, wind devil) from “real pets” in terms of damage scaling, which is way better.
Inquisitors seal and the like are also considered pets, fyi.
