Thread: Armored Pet at cl17?
Much as I hate to, I tend to disagree - I think its highly likely that this pet will have either its CL bumped up or be made uncallable once the full fix for low level clones is implemented. It has an effective HAM only marginally worse than the pre-nerf graul - a pet that was deemed over powered at CL30. Don't worry about the action/mind stats, unless you are in PvP (which should never be the primary balance point for an MMO like this), health takes almost half the damage dealt by random attacks.
In PvE, against standard creatures, this example has an effective kinetic Health of over 26k, certainly way beyond anything available in the wild below CL40. The very low offensive stats are what is driving the CL down, along with the energy vuln, but as a pure tank that one is punching well above its weight.
I am not trying to knock the creator of it at all - I have worked hard to get armored pets down to CL23 and its impressive to get one below twenty using the current build rules. But I think it does point out that there are still some oddities that will be dealt with in the delayed fix (and likely are what is taking the time).
