Patch Notes

4.2.5

• Increased the bonus to damage done for each Animal Companion ability slotted to 3% at rank II, previously 2%.

5.1.5

• Reduced the damage increase per Animal Companion ability slotted to 2% from 3%.

8.1.5

• This passive now increases your Armor Penetration by 495/990 per Animal Companion skill slotted, rather than damage done by 1/2%.

8.2.5

• This passive now increases your Critical Damage done by 2/4%, rather than your Armor Penetration by 495/990.
  • Developer Comment: We're shifting this passive's focus away from raw damage and more into Critical damage, to help focus the class's natural tendency to burst foes down. This change should also help bring up Light Armor focused Wardens, while toning down some of the power that their currently much stronger Medium Armor cousins have.
