That, and also, hellhound ability (+x% total damage / +x% health / +x% energy / increase energy regen by x%) applies to him or to my character ? Sorry for my english.
Hellhoundās ability only applies to the Hound. The only thing you get is the bonuses from Hellfire since it is an Aura that affects allies (including other pets) in a radius.
As for why pets have energy,
pets cast āspellsā basically. and their abilities only apply to them.
Well, Iāve never actually thought about why do pets have energy when their skills cost nothing on higher levelsā¦ If level 20 is a higher level. I only remember having energy issues with Mr. and Mrs. Bird in act 1. Or maybe even through the first half of act 1.
this also makes me wonder why enemies still have energy barsā¦ since i donāt recall if any mana burn skills for players still exists. could be wrong.
Some monsters do have random Energy Drain, for example the hero that Anasteria wants his head or Nullify skills.
thats true, some enemies can drain our energy. but iām talking about any skills/items for players that can āmana burnā enemies. iirc in earlier gd days, iskandraās elemental exchange or one of its modifiers (or is it nullification?) does mana burn on the enemy.
if we donāt possess anymore means to mana burn enemies, and enemy (and our pets)ās skills consume so few energy, why bother showing the enemiesā energy bar? iād rather have status effects icons below the enemy health bars. since in large battles its kinda hard to see what status effects currently attached to cluster of enemies.
