that is somwhat disappointing I figured L2 would give more of a bonus than L1;This my not be worth spending the slots on.

Yeah, thats really odd that L2 barely gives more than half of L1.

But hey, if its still callable, I'd say thats the biggest surprise.



Anakin: Master, I think my lightsaber is getting dull. Its not doing nearly as much damage as it used to.
Obi-Wan: O.k. when we're done showing the youglings around the temple, we'll stop by the bazaar and you can buy a new crystal. I hope you've got a couple million credits saved up for this.
Anakin: WHAT?!!?? I don't have THAT kind of cash!
Obi-Wan: Well you could try sharpening it on these younglings. I've got a headache and all their questions are driving me NUTS!
Anakin: hmmm.... Sharpen my lightsaber on younglings...... hmmmmmm.....
Obi-Wan: uh, that was a joke Anakin. I'll spot you the cash for a new crystal THIS time, but next time you're on your own.

I don't think that's all that bad, that's 49 total extra damage for 2 ability slots...not amazing, but it's an option to think about depending on what you want your pet to be like.


Think about how much that would add up if you have 3 pets out, each with 499 natural damage and L3Marring Storm.

I am actually surprised that you were able to breach the 499 damage cap (creatures made with greater then 499 damage tend to be broken upon maturity) with Marrs. The BE forum has had a discussion predicting that any use of Marrs that pushed the damage over 499might "break" the pet and make it un-callable. I wonder if Marrs L1 and L2 have a bigger impact on creatures that are not close to the damage threshold for BE creatures.

It's probably like most of the things in the game -- diminishing returns. If you really, really want your pet to have the highest damage possible you should put marring storm 3 on it. If you want some increased damage but wouldn't mind some other effects just get the level 1 ability. Without more data, we can't say it's this way for sure but I suspect that's the way they've coded it.

Think of it like this. The bonus in thisis based from the base damage. The L1 ability gave you a bonus of 30, the L2 gave you a bonus of 49 which is a 2/3 increase from base damage compared to the L1 ability (30/49). All of a sudden the number doesn't look so bad. For me at least
