afaik, 0 for Birb (based on what grimtools pet database shows and yes, it varies from pet to pet)
Think of it more like, Lightning strike for example deals the amount of damage listed in the skill itself and a percentage of any flat damage bonus to pets from sources like devotions, items and auras.
@Maya Hello! I’m starting to play for the first time. I want to try pet. Please tell me what should I choose? I want to play as a necromancer. Should I choose a ritualist? The fact that I don’t see a cabalist in the list of guide, why? And where can I find a guide on how to level up from the begining?
I really hope for your help.
Update for the current Playtest build. (Note that this is based on my experiences with my own builds)
First things first, Zantai essentially wrote a love letter to pet builds atm.
Now, Beastcaller, Trinkets, Diviner are all performing similarly for me.
Ghol Blightfiends feel like they took a heavy nerf (based on kill time vs callagadra)
Lost Soul Skeleton Cabalist has went on to become my best pet build atm with 1:50 min callagadra kill and around 5:20 min naked Crucible with extra spawn (both using mogdrogen’s elixir however)
Ever wanted to play with Skeletons, but Cabalist just didn’t vibe enough with you?
Ever wanted to play as a Pet Ritualist, but not a fan of smelly Zombies?
I’ve been running a similar build, but a Cabalist version. I’ve been enjoying the Vitality/Bleed synergy with my skeletons. Here I thought I had a unique build, and you drop this one today.
My build came into existence from necessity. I was trying to build towards The Lost Souls Cabalist, but the game refuses to drop the plans for this set. I used the random pieces of gear I’ve got to make my build as I saw an opportunity to make a Vitality/Bleed pet build instead.
It turns out that my new build can easily handle all the content I’ve encountered in Ultimate, SRs, and the Crucible. I’m enjoying playing my build so much, I may not even go to the Lost Souls set if I ever manage to get the entire set.
