Diablo 3: Pets will be Slightly Buffed to Reflect Player Statistics

Many gamers complain that Diablo 3 pets are underpowered against Rift Guardians and other powerful foes. As for this issue, the designer John Yang confirms on the forum that the studio will buff the companions and providing some insight into how Blizzard expects pets to scale with the player character. A wide range of D3 items with reasonable prices can be found at our site.



Yang explains that pets should “be roughly as survivable as the player”. This means pets are designed to scale with survivability stats and derive their toughness from player's stats, while not becoming virtually untouchable tanks.

“To work towards the first goal, Pets should take reduced damage based on how avoidable the monster attack normally is for a player,” Yang wrote. “This is done instead of giving pets AI to run away from damaging attacks, which would cause them to lose out on DPS time."

We recommend you buy Diablo 3 items from this professional site. Yang listed the three categories of monster attacks and how they will affect the pet. These include 'Full damage to pet', 'reduced damage to pet' and 'drastically reduced damage to pets'. The full rundown can be read on battle.
