Idk, Birbs power from the Bysmiel set is very strong. You can basically sacrifice 4 slots and this set will still shine with 2 birds and typical pet path. The slots are extremely versatile.
Pet-master doesn’t need a lot of stats, but here the pets lose quite a bit of damage from using lokar set. Yet 2 Birds + 1 Briarthorn still power through.
Sorry, Jabby…but here the culprit is not Lokaar. (Imho)
Ah right. I should have noted that you lose a lot of valuable pet stats (resists, etc.).But birbs cover a lot of elemental resist and Briars cover physical/bleed and shaman covers pierce/aether. So you only miss a bit of chaos and vit for the pets.
It can’t have been that much of a concern, as your augments for pets are all offensive-oriented.
52% Ele res, 28% Vit res, 50% Stun dur, 8% def, 20% armor, 24% Hp, 30% Aether & Chaos.
That is actually a lot lost even when you take into account what you get from the passives. Especially when you consider that only Elemental res is capped with 3P Beastcaller instead of Lokarr.
Augments are all offensive-oriented because it is a straight up edit of my Fluffy Squishy and I was too lazy to do more than item swap for Lokarr
