Could the right click on this please be changed? We are already *THE* most buff dependant class in the game being both a melee class and a hybrid who relies more on mana than any other hybrid, quite frankly we simply do NOT have room for yet another buff.When this buff is actually needed on our pet we ourselves also need resist buffs exacerbating the lack of room for it.
I'm not sure if the effect itself even while adding 100 more resists will be useful yet as pet base resists seem to be low to begin with and with all the top end boss AE's having very high negative resist mods it seems like it will still be a crapshoot whether the pet will resist, heavily leaning towards the likelihood that it will land.
I'd also like to mention the AC component on BST Thaz armor is yet again either a miniscule AC upgrade (4 ac up in upgraded from from tunic of distraction...a Sepulcher BP), all the other upgraded leather pieces seem to be either the same AC as prior tiers or a loss in AC.I can't understand why leather classes seem to have been frozen in time with regards to AC while all other stats gets a bump up, and from what I can see chain and platemail users continue to move forward in that regard.
Other than these two things the other stats seem fine on the armor.
Suggestions to replace the effect:
Companion Health VII or higher - Beastlords are currently frozen in this regard with our highest comp health item having only Companion Health V..Mantle of Infusion, an EC item that only requires a group to get, if any other bst usable items from Thaz have higher ignore this, but I have not seen any from what we have killed or from fomelo.
Remove the buff portion on ourselves and if it's neccessary because of that change lower the amount of resists the pet recieves - unless pets get a boost in base resists or if resist boosts are added in to companion health items I don't see this helping a whole lot, but the lack of a buff on ourselves would at least remove the most aggravating part.
Damage Increment VII - moderately useful for the occasional ice shard, and for weapon procs.
Just to head off the inevitable fomelo clickers yelling "But you don't even have the BP yet!" I don't NEED to have it to see these things, we simply don't have room for yet another buff and AC has simply stagnated on leather armor for a very long time.
