Guild Wars 2

I am trying to figure out how stats work for pets. I am aware that each pet has a predetermined set of stats when you first tame them. And I am curious how/if those stats change as you obtain better gear. I’m going to assume that pet stats go up by some static amount each time you level. However, once you’ve reached level 80, do pet stats continue to increase as you equip better and better gear? For instance, if I have a bear whose main stats are toughness, vitality, and power (generally speaking), and I equip, say, beserker gear, will my bear immediately gain more power, crit chance, and crit damage as a result?

Your equipment has absolutely no effect on your pets stats.

Their stat distribution is determined by their family (canine, bird, moa etc.) and the exact stats are determined by their level, which always matches yours.

There are also some traits and skills which will increase their stats, either specific ones or all of them together.

Does this same logic also apply to summoned pets, i.e. elementals, minions summoned by a necromancer, etc.?

Minions and illusions will inherit some of the same stats as the player character, but other stats (such as health) are pre-set and (at least in the case of necro minions) based on the player character’s level.

I’m not too sure about what elementalist elementals are based on.
