Is the BD supposed to be allowed to have 1 commander and 3 sub pets at 45 (4 total)? If so this does not appear to be working as only allows 1 commander and 2 subs atm
I believe it depends on the level of the pets you summon...isn't the limit the total levels of pets under the commander? At least that's what I remember from way back during live when SI launched.
The following is from --> https://forums.freddyshouse.com/threads/a-bonedancer-and-his-minions.4626/ This is how it should work at this patch level, not sure if it is correct on phoenix.
The maximum level of the subpets can be 75.
Pets are lower level than a SM pet. Commanders are 80% of BD level except the Dread Commander (gained at level 45) which is 82% of caster level (thus level 41 with a BD 50). The minion pets are 75% of BD level OR capped for the specific summon spell version. Minion pet abilities increase according to their level. To get higher level minion pets, you have to spec higher in that spell line. Note that there is currently a total level cap on the levels of minions that can be controlled by commander pet. It's currently set at 75 which will not allow you to summon 3 pets of max level (37). lvl of summon spell --> lvl cap of pet (caplvl) 15 ----------------> 15 18 ----------------> 18 21 ----------------> 20 24 ----------------> 22 27 ----------------> 24 30 ----------------> 27 33 ----------------> 29 36 ----------------> 31 39 ----------------> 33 42 ----------------> 36 45 ----------------> 37 48 ----------------> 37
Another way to look at it is in equation:
commander level = 0.8 x caster level (for version 5, 15, 30) commander level = 0.82 x caster level (for version 45)
minion pet level = (0.75 x caster level) OR cap level (as per table) whichever is lowest. I hope you find it useful
