The ultimate pet suggestion

[lp9]

Hey there, lp9 here. This is my idea on how to essentialy make pets usefull in the game again.

This suggestion will consist of 3 new concepts:

1. New pet levels, different from the current level system for pets

2. Pet skills (Passive and Active skills)

3. Special Perks

Pet Levels

So, what are pet levels? Pet levels will basically make your pets ''secondary characters''. They will work the same as regular player levels, but with different exp requirements for each level. You will be able to gain more pet levels by getting Pet Experience. You will be able to get pet experience from 2 sources:

1. The Pet arena
2. 5% from regular exp goes to pet experience (For players who are above lvl 200, the pre-inferno exp gain formula will be used)
   

Each level you gain will give your pet 1 skill point.  Skill points will be used to upgrade your passive skills. You will continue to gain skill points normally untill pet level 300. After level 300, you will only get a skill point once per 5 pet levels.

Pet Skills

Passive skills

Passive skills will increase a pet's base stats. Here is a list of all the passive skills, what they do and how many skill points they cost:

1. Strenght - Adds a +5% additive damage boost per level                                                       Cost: 1 SP (skill point for short)  Cap: infinite            
2. Vitality - Adds a +2% additive health boost per level                                                            Cost: 1 SP                                Cap: infinite
3. Toughness - Adds a +1% damage reduction boost per level                                                  Cost: 2 SP                                Cap: 50
4. Agility - Adds a +1% speed boost per lvl                                                                             Cost: 2 SP                                Cap: 100
5. Regeneration - Regenerates 1% of Max. health per turn (Works in pet arena only)                  Cost: 10 SP                               Cap: 5
6. Critical Strenght - Adds a +5% additive critical damage boost per level                                   Cost: 1 Sp                                Cap: 50
7. Energy - Adds a +2% additive mana* boost per level                                                           Cost: 1 SP                                Cap: infinite
   

*mana - This is going to be a new stat for your pet. Mana will be used to cast active skills while battling monsters

Active skills

Active skills will help you defeat monsters both outside and inside of the pet arena. Here are the list of all the active skills, what they do and how much mana they use up (Keep in mind that all the skills are at level 1):

1. Blast - Deals 250% pet damage                                                                                              Cost: 15 mana         CD: 5 turns (or 15 sec.)
2. Heal - Heals 5% of max. health                                                                                              Cost: 30 mana          CD: 10 turns
3. Guard - Take 25% less damage for 5 turns (works in pet arena only)                                         Cost: 50 mana          CD: 15 turns
4. Warcry - Do 50% more damage for 5 turns (or 10 seconds outside of pet arena)                         Cost: 50 mana          CD: 15 turns (or 45 sec.)
5. Focus - Restore 10% mana                                                                                                    Cost: 0 mana           CD: 15 turns (or 45 sec.)
6. Stun - 33% chance to stun the enemy for 3 turns (or 6 seconds outside of pet arena)                  Cost: 30 mana         CD: 20 turns
7. Critical boost - +65% critical damage boost for 5 turns ( or 10 seconds outside of pet arena)        Cost: 25 mana         CD: 15 turns (or 45 sec.)

Note: Every value shown here doesn't have to like this. If Ray considers this idea, he can freely change all the values, this is just an example of how this idea could work.
