Beastlord Pet DPS Guide: 750 SD Inheritance & 2H DPS
Table of Contents
---
Pet Overview
I am building this page because we all get asked a lot of questions and many times its hard to find the answers. I want this to be a living document as people find something "better" I will add it here with the best explination why. If you have a suggestion DM Trinidy or send me a tell in game and I will do what I can to add it quickly.
If you think something is better than what is on the page, please explain your why, provide data etc. Many of us have spent lots of EoM, plat, hours testing these items to ensure they are either the best, or pretty darn close.
Pet off Hand Opinionated Overview
As you read this will you see that there is no pet off hand. That is because pet offhand is horrible. During our testing we used a 1hb and a 1hs so we can see the parser do slash and blunt dmg. We used dot and DD augs etc. Basicall your off hand is hurting you, Period.
If you are going to use a 1h weapon because you feel like you need it, like a blackstar, cleric epic, or whatever. You are better off using your offhand to support your main hand, so like a wizard epic to boost Spell Damage or Shaman epic to boost healing amount.
2h by far out parses DPS in every way at least so far.
For the most part, if there is a Mage pet in your build, you should not need any utility pet. The sustain for mage pet is super high, and haivng items like a Blackstar for group healing has so little effect it does not help alot.
Before I get flammed here. I agree there is a place for a Blackstar. im using it as an example. Seru fight for example, Blackstar will heal for 1/4 of your fight... so it has its place. but for 90% of the content, your non mage pets are going to be DPS focused, and therefor 2h weapons will out perform.
I think its fair to say that everyone has a different style of play and leveling.
With Luclin out, and with some of the better ZEM zones for AA out, getting AA at low levels is not really "Needed" UNless you just wanted it.
Gearing decently is cheap ish and you can have a very well equiped pet at 50-51, for under 5k.
So this is simply my opinion , you play how you like.
I personally recommend getting to 51 ASAP, getting your 51 mage pet and the summoned 15 slot mage bag... then doing your Mage epic. After mage epic get to 60, then work on your AAs.
AA exp comes fast at 60 In DN
Pet Inheritence
Pets inherit benifits from the caster.
0 melee crit - this comes from the pet crti AA.
50% Spell Crit - if you get 30% pets gets 15%
50% Spell Crit Dmg boost - e.g. without Destructive Fury they get 50% (if normal hits are 100, crits are 150). They used to, when you had rank 6 DF, get a 125% boost to crits (normal 100, crits 225), however with the cap at 75% I think crit bonus damage cap for pets is reached already at rank 2.
50% Heal Amount - if you get 30% pets gets 15%
Pet haste cap increases slowly with pet level. At current level of pet focus (VT gloves), pets can reach lvl 62 and their max haste cap is 193, without overhaste. Ancient Burnout gives 180, so almost any small worn haste will be enough to reach the cap.
POP NOTICE WIth PoP out, there will be new tabs that target PoP gear specifically. I will be keeping the Luclin gear the way it is for a least a little bit.
So there are a TON of tabs... make sure you go through them all.

More Optional Replacements Once you are at 750 SD you can either equip Bloodlust weapons to always have them up for melee, OR you can replace the epics with things that have more Healing Amount or Augs with healing Amount. Optional Item Justification
Xephyrus, Wand of the Flowing Wind (Legendary)s Use this in off if you want max out heal amount, other wise the set up takes Hammer of the Timeweaver (Legendary) Use this in off if you want max out heal amount, and have a fun BL weapon
Focus Crystal (Legendary) This is a great item to replace both your Main and Secondary instead of the epics because of the boost to Healing Amount
Nightcaller Leggings This was a suggested item for Seru Fight to wear. Add in a healing aug. The idea is that it reduces the time on heals. Restoration+ Vigor are both symp 6 compatible.. 2.3+2.3 is 2 heals landing every 4.6s, If you're relying on SHa's only, that's 1 heal every 4.3s without the extra haste, If you're cycling Sha's and vigor, without haste, it's 2 heals every 5.6s
Slippers of Dark Whispers This was a suggested item for Seru Fight to wear. Add in a healing aug. The idea is that it reduces the time on heals. Restoration+ Vigor are both symp 6 compatible.. 2.3+2.3 is 2 heals landing every 4.6s, If you're relying on SHa's only, that's 1 heal every 4.3s without the extra haste, If you're cycling Sha's and vigor, without haste, it's 2 heals every 5.6s
Blood Lust Weapons Primary / Secondary Weapon Effect Note Primary Only Staff of the Silent Star (Legendary) 400DD Great choice, fast and a -300 fire resist proc, its pretty reliable for dmg output.
Primary Only Skull Shaped Wand (Legendary) 808DD
So far the tests are mixed. -10 cold resists proc. This will be resistsed alot by many Kunark/velious mobs, Luclin you shoudl be good. In tests the spell landed about 45% of the time. So its a tough call to spend the time / money to get one. Primary / Secondary Fangs of Vyzh`dra (Legendary) 150DD Good off hand choice, fast -300 fire resist proc. its a solid offhand choice for BL
Primary / Secondary Gharn's Rock of Smashing (Legendary) 80 HP - LT Unresistable proc, so its a pretty solid choice, and pretty common. It wont do the most dmg, but its going ot keep you alive. Also you can DW these if you are really concerned.
Primary / Secondary Acrylia Handled Broadsword (Legendary) 100 HP - LT Unresistable proc, better than the Gharns if you can afford it.
Tribute Note you can have 5 Active Benefits so you might need to choose what is best for the situation Name Boost What it does Notes Visions of Suffering Affliction Efficiency Reduces Mana on DoTs Power of Suffering Burning Affliction Increase Dmg on Dots Power of Will Improved Damage Increase Dmg on DD
Sage's Comprehension Increase Int Cap Helps with Mana Pool Not really needed just a slight boost Power of Recovery Improved Healing Increase Spell healing Extra heal boost wont hurt on Seru Power of Conservation Mana Preservation Reduce Mana cost I only turn this on for Seru where mana is important Power of Alacity Spell Haste Boosts Haste on Spells 15% boost to spell haste Useful on Seru heals Commanding Presence Summoning Haste Boost spell on summon spells I was told this boosts the speed of the Mage heal - Needs some testing Twinge of Pain Afflication Haste Boosts DoT Casting Speed

Mix or match rings The rings listed serve two different purposes, Evasion being defensive and Pulsing being offensive. Mix or match them to your style. Nightcaller Leggings This was a suggested item for Seru Fight to wear. Add in a healing aug. The idea is that it reduces the time on heals. Restoration+ Vigor are both symp 6 compatible.. 2.3+2.3 is 2 heals landing every 4.6s, If you're relying on SHa's only, that's 1 heal every 4.3s without the extra haste, If you're cycling Sha's and vigor, without haste, it's 2 heals every 5.6s

Blood Lust Weapons Primary / Secondary Weapon Effect Note Primary Only Staff of the Silent Star (Legendary) 400DD Great choice, fast and a -300 fire resist proc, its pretty reliable for dmg output. Primary Only Skull Shaped Wand (Legendary) 808DD
So far the tests are mixed. -10 cold resists proc. This will be resistsed alot by many Kunark/velious mobs, Luclin you shoudl be good. In tests the spell landed about 45% of the time. So its a tough call to spend the time / money to get one. Primary / Secondary Fangs of Vyzh`dra (Legendary) 150DD Good off hand choice, fast -300 fire resist proc. its a solid offhand choice for BL
Primary / Secondary Gharn's Rock of Smashing (Legendary) 80 HP - LT Unresistable proc, so its a pretty solid choice, and pretty common. It wont do the most dmg, but its going ot keep you alive. Also you can DW these if you are really concerned. Primary / Secondary Acrylia Handled Broadsword (Legendary) 100 HP - LT Unresistable proc, better than the Gharns if you can afford it.

- (and many more entries appear in the original document in various sections, including optional replacements, DPS comparisons, Seru fight data, and Beasts pet DPS with multiple pets and weapon choices.)
NOTE: The original document includes multiple sections with data-heavy tables for various pet builds (Beastlord, Mage, Necro), gear equivalences, and testing snippets. The above is a structured, readable extraction capturing the primary themes and a representative subset of the data. The full original content contains numerous item tables, DPS analyses, and loadout configurations across Luclin and PoP eras, with detailed slot-by-slot augment plans and considerations for pet sustain, SD, HA, and DoT interactions.
Tributes & Loadouts (LUCLIN & PoP sections)
- SUGGESTED LUCLIN LOADOUTS with DPS and Tank templates; includes a variety of spells e.g., Amplification, Shield of Songs, Niv's Harmonic, Nillipus' March of the Wee, Call of the Muse, Verses of Victory, Psalm of Purity and others, along with notes on FLOAT SLOT flexibility.
- BRD/MAG/BST BUFF ORDER, with detailed cast order recommendations and notes on stacking and purging buffs in groups.
- SUGGESTED AA selections for Combat Stability, Combat Agility, Mastery of the Past, and many more.
Testing & Notes
- Experimental tests comparing pet SD inheritance, max SD, and the 750 SD cap, with notes on how inheritance works (pets inherit 50% of your spell damage and healing amount).
- Includes detailed test data comparing various pets, spells, and abilities with and without Bloodlust and other items.
- Acknowledges known bugs and ongoing changes as new information emerges (e.g., primary/secondary slot changes with 2H items for pets).
This document is intended as a living reference, with updates as testers share new findings. It is not a fixed rule-set; it reflects a community-driven exploration into maximizing pet DPS and survivability across Luclin, PoP, and later zones.

If you require the full verbatim extraction of every paragraph, table, dataset, and note from the original document, I can provide a verbatim dump in a follow-up, but it will be extremely long due to the scale of the source content.
