Pet Damage/Scaling

Hello everyone,

can someone please explain how pet scaling works? I’m playing a Necro/Shaman and use skeletons and the briathon by now. The skeletons are not even shown as companions and I cant find damage stats für pets anywhere.

How do pet damage scales? Is it bound in any way to the weapon damage of the character? Is there a guide to that somewhere?

“bonus to all pets stats”
briarthorn and skeletons are what’s called “true pets”/pet scaled pets(says so in the orange text direct on main pet skill node), so they scale on pet specific stats
that’s your “outside” scaling, like bonus dmg on weapons/armour is for players, you will find “bonus to all pets” stats on the same slots/different items
then you have direct pet scaling just like regular player skills does; simply by putting more ranks into the pets and it’s bonus dmg nodes

here is an example of a finished pet build for comparison/example

Thx

So if an item has +all damage or +physical damage it only effects the player and not the pets, right?
And weapon damage is irrelevant for pets?

correct
example: red affects player only, green affects true pets/pet scaled pets

remember, the game/pets will always list in orange text on the skill whether it’s pet scaled or player scaled

Thx a lot m8
