Hello B.E.'s I am a Master Creature Handler and I would like to ask you about pet damage.
Is there any way you can come up with of increasing damage on pets?
Most pets these days are oriented around the need to tank for ranged profs so they always go for the armour and kinetic resist strengths, for a melee prof it wouldnt work that way, I would be doing the tanking, so the pets could get by with less armour/resists. I would therefore prefer pets that did more damage instead, is this possible, and if so by how much?
Thanks for your time and imput.

Max experimentation in aggression. I can get good tank/fighting pets lvl 35 without maxing aggression...they hit approx. 350-400 damage. If aggression was maxed instead of physical, they would hit a lot harder than that. Good luck!

just simply looking at "damage" is a rookie mistake. You see a big shiny number like 350 and compare it to 250 and say oooh, nice damage, but it can be very misleading. Generally you'll want to look at damage per second which is damage x to hit / speed
Each of those variables can be controled during experimentation, but of course you still will be working under the constraints of a specific CL. But anyhow, the answer is "yes", a BE can always trade DPS against HAM or resists or armor.

They don't do very much at max damage output, especially against anything you'd need to tank..

I've read that you could use their special attacks to increase their DPS. The specials was said to go on another timeline. If so, you can use three pets with 500 dam (500 DPS) if the trick is used. 500 * 3 = 1500dps and some dizzy/knockdowns, strong poison/disease and blind/intimidate. I can't understand how pets are not useable in combat. Maybe they'll be uber after the combat rebalance

By giving up armor on my usual kinetic tanks, I was able to get 500-550 damage on pets as low as level 19. Was fun to use them in duels,
