Extended Swarm AA

bobokatt1970 · January 25, 2009, 01:59:35 PM

I read the info on it as 1 second increase per rank. So rank 3 is 3 seconds extra. One... two... three. Worth the cost?? Am I missing something.... just 3 extra seconds?

Dunno, if you look at damage it does? If swarm pet is like 400 dps (?) so would be 1200 damage. /shrug

Probally not a top priority, I would say in the 2k AA range but honestly I'm still working on my first 1k (Have over 2k AA's but spread over 8 characters, I can never grind on one toon too long). But I think with this AA + Extended Buffs + normal duration of our swarm pets, it comes out to something respectable. Worth the AA's? Probally not unless your looking at Innate Lasting Breath or this, I would probally go with this.

Buff Extension does not work on swarm pets, they're not a buff....

Basically this allows you to "ignore" the loss in DPS as the swarmpet move from you to the mob.

Anything that ups your dps is worth it. Also with u spawning 1 pet its not that great but its more dps but spawning 4 pets it owns. I would put this up there if I was any beas.

Normal swarm pet lasts 18 secs. An extra 3 secs is an extra 17% swarm pet dps. Worth it? Heck yes.

I love my extended swarm. Pretty good dps boost and on the rare chance you get 8 of them puppies up at once you start to think yer a mage with the aa swarm pet hehe.

Does this work on pet fabled wep and the AA pets or just the swarm pet spell?

AFAIK it does not work on the proc pets. Neither do the pet foci it seems, unfortunatly.

AA is broken atm and it doesn't work at all. They broke it few months ago, I don't remember the exact date.

As this thread already been established:

Now that the ex swarm AA is repaired. Does it work on the fabled proc pets?

Camikazi · August 28, 2009, 02:20:50 PM

I want to say yes, but I have no proof ATM, would need to take it to the parse dummies since casting Yowl (which is done regularly) shows pets with same name as fabled weapon pet, so can't distinguish between them.

Mazame · August 28, 2009, 04:09:48 PM

Yes pet proc are counted. ( tested both pet weapons and the aug )
Works on AA pets as well
Works on Yowl as well ( warning if you are clicking spell gem as soon as they are up you can kill off your current wolf. the spell gem will refreash before the wolfs are finnish and when you start to cast the spell it will auto kill any wolf pets that are up. this is bad if you have 4 wolfs up and kill them to put a single one up. )

I may be remembering worng but I thought I had a double proc of four and had four wolfs up one time? Did they change this or am I making shit up?

If Forced Rejuvenation will allow 2 Yowl pets to be out form 2 different castings, then Extended should not make other wolf disappear, could just have been that other wolf's timer ended just as new one came out.
