- pet level in rvr combat is no longer the higher of pet or owner level but instead always the lower of the two, this affects outgoing and incoming spell and melee damage. This does not change pet casted necro or animist spells, there the owner level is still used.
- the previous mechanic, using the higher of pet or owner level, will stay in effect for outgoing (damage made by the pet) pve only damage
- dummies are now closer to players when it comes to most damage mechanics (pets against dummies behave as if it were against players / enemy pets)
- recently released pets hit for the same amount as they do while charmed
- pet absorb: buffs on pets now give the same amount of absorb for each point, previously it had dimishing returns with the first 50 points giving more than the next 50 etc., this should be a reduction in absorb in most cases
- pet absorb: base af now counts exactly the same as dex and con buffs for mob absorb
