Haha wat pet has 28k hp let alone 40k??? Wtf lol in spvp ? I wish likely your gonna have a mix of 16k-22k hp pets at the very best for viable builds
**WILD WARDEN** (shaman) spirit pets •weapon - focus. Used to cc the enemy and improve your pet ability to deliver its dps when needed and give it stability/dmg reduction for a short period while it does so. Could still be dodged blocked or evaded etc Traits Could be synergy with you and your pet doing combo's which create small cc/burst chains to actualy get the pet to work in pvp/pve when desired. You land the immobilise boom pet teleports in and sticks to target for (x) amount of time doing its thing pet accts more like a temp high stack condi condition then its back to shitty ai pathing could even be like a spirit pet appears in place of your normal pets or you can only take spirit pets **Elite ability** both pets come out at once for a short window of time adjusted dmg down 30% or w/e makes sense less dmg from each pet or you take complete controll of your pet and play throught the eyes of the pet and buff it have control of the abilities and you character follows the pet as if its on a realy short leash Would also make a decent class mechanic Instead of swopping pets you just have the pet on a leash and you play as the pet with buffed up stats/abilities kinda like necro shroud while leashed your character following the pet copies everything you do ie you jump as pet your character right behind on the leash jumps while leashed to your pet you have one HP bar not two or the damage you take is split between you but lowers the leash duration like shroud so would be about ccing and dodge/evading to keep leash active as long as poss Just spit balling ideas open to criticism or improvements on the name or the idea?
