Mistfire Wolf:

The wolf applies Chilling and Burning to foes when attacking, has a short-range area of effect skill and charges distant foes knocking them down.

After using the aoe skill, the wolf gains Air Attunement, even if the summoner is not an Elementalist.

When unsummoned, the wolf gives life force to nearby Necromancers

At level 80 the wolf has about 10000 health and 2000 armor, its auto-attack deals approximately 900-1000 damage (about 1500 on criticals), plus 600 burning damage each second. The aoe skill has almost the same damage but does multiple hits, while the charge deals about 900-1200 damage on normal hits. Chilling and burning is applied with every attack.

Hounds of Balthazar:

The hounds cause burning to foes on every attack and use leap attack which hits enemies in the area of effect.

The leap attack counts as Leap Finisher.

At level 80, each hound has about 6000 health and 2000 armor, and their attacks deals approximately 450-500 damage (about 700 on critical hits), plus 750 burning damage each second. The leap attack deals about 1800-2000 damage.

Your own math says that Hounds of Balthazar does more damage if they stay alive for the duration, by how much I do not know as I do not know how far it is between their attacks.

If it’s the same, let’s say 10 attacks (500dmg avg including crits) in 30 seconds plus one leap per dog.. that’s 5k dmg + 22.5k burning dmg (is that per dog?) = 27.5k dmg or 50k dmg depending on my parenthesis-question.

The wolf does with the same math 6k + 18k dmg = 24k dmg.

Edit: Forgot the leap and charge, 1.6k more dmg for the hounds in this case.

what I didnt like about the wolf is that it has 30sec uptime on a (3min?) cooldown. Sadface.

Quick Mouse.7635:

Hounds have the same cooldown and uptime though, so that’s a non issue.

Does anyone know?
