Ooze Crawler pet

[Vaylan77]

<p>Although I like the idea of this pet and the debuff is also quite nice, the pet itself is too weak, it dies instantly even against trash mobs because it has low protection and no AOE immunity and it attacks mobs to deal damage.In comparison to the Conjurer's priest pet, the Hydromancer, the Ooze Crawler really needs some updates. The hydromancer stays out ofcombat and does not attack directly so it takes much less damage than the ooze crawler which attacks and then takes damage and dies.Also the Hydromancer is much more versatile and the group benefits much more from him than from the Ooze. The Ooze only has one permanet debuff with different effects for different levels. It should cast different things though in my opinion, although not just one permanent debuff but some strong temporary debuffs. Also it should have AOE immunity like the scout pet and just should stay out of combat at all. Then it could be a nice alternative in some situation but at the moment it is worthless cause it just doesn't survive long enough, not to mention that in PVP fights it goes down even faster.</p>

<p>The Hydromancer pet for Conjurors is just as useless. No Conjuror in his or her right mind will waste an AA point on it.</p><p>The Ooze pet can be made AoE immune due to Blood Pact.</p><p>The debuff it provided was fairly decent back in EoF, RoK, and TSO when mob stats were significantly lower than they are now, however even then it didn't justify the loss of DPS from not using the mage pet.</p>

<p>Ooze pet needs some additional debuffs in addition to current ones being increased in value to justify the loss of DPS - i ahd a list somewhere of current debuffs and ones I'd like to see added, off the top of my head maybe (thoughts):</p><p>-X crit bonus</p><p>-X Flurry chance</p><p>-X Crit avoidance</p><p>-X Block</p><p>-X Mem wipe %</p>

<p>I believe the ooze pet also adds focus stats to your other pets.</p>

I'm guessing you're reading the benefits of Arcane Minions from the Int AA line. All that means is your ooze pet will have 16% faster recast and reuse, it's not applying that to your mage pet because you have ooze.</p>
