Pet scaling at 50 (specifically Necro).

[Desnok]

As the title suggests, do necro pets scale at 50 depending on gear? I really like my necromancer but if the pets don't scale based on gear or anything else, then as I start to collect endgame gear I'll be "forced" to play something else, as other classes that don't depend on pets will get progressively stronger.

I looked and couldn't find anything concrete on this. If they do not scale, has Trion mentioned anything about changing it?

Thanks for any info.

I've heard they do. Last time I checked though, the stat you want your pet to gain scales off wisdom... That might just be a rumor though.

[Desnok]

Yeah, and if they do scale based off stats, which stats raise what? Obviously I focus on int/wis, but if they have no effect on my zealot's AP/crit/etc., scaling is rather pointless.

Yes pets scale based on your gear.

I believe it goes something like this:

+1 INT on you = +0.5 STR and +0.5 INT on pet
+1 WIS on you = +0.5 DEX and +0.5 WIS on pet

Either way the pets do scale.

Thanks, great to know!

This is how much necro pet abilities hit for with 53spell power (no gear)/963 spell power (t2 gear)
Skeletal Zealot
Auto attack 45/194
Soul Rend 105/214
Blood Spike 160/319
Jagged Wound 105/229

Skeletal Knight
Auto Attack 40/115
Bone Strike 207/212
Grave Touch 350/420
Bone Shatter 377/477

Revenant
Auto Attack 0/0
Ruination 34/91
Oblivion 240/519
Blood Corruption 18/32

As you can see the Skeletal Knight does not scale properly, but the other two pets do.
