C4 PTS News #2

I completed my level Dark Wizard quest and grabbed the Summon Shadow book right away. I headed over to the pet manager to buy some pet/servitor shots.

At 24a per shot, I believe pet SS will come out significantly cheaper then A/S grade SS spamming.

I hunted the eyes (2x hp mobs in C4), Bugbears, and orcs. The shadow was able to solo all the mobs with SS. I even let it tackle 2 bugbears and with SS the Shadows HP didn't drop below 75%. With out SS the damage reminds me of the old wizard summons, barely useful and not worth using except for recharge.

Here are some stats.



This is a screen shot of the shadow soloing 2 bugbears. SS going off and all.



Besides the nice pet damage with SS, the other change I noticed is that the shadow takes an extra swing even after the mob has run away, doing 1 extra hit of damage before following. Any pause in the mob's movement and the shadow took a swing and hit. This seems to be a highly improved summon attack during movement behavior compared to what we are use to in C3.

I haven't tested this in a pvp situation but I will soon.

Thanks for the comments David.

I will attempt to test the items that can be tested by a sub 40 character however the other items will have to wait until we receive the boost on Thursday.
