Good afternoon folks -
I’ve noticed recently in testing that the Superior Rune of the Ranger no longer gives me the stated 7% damage bonus on my Mesmer. I understand that this may have been intentional in the case of mini-pets counting towards your companion count, but I would like confirmation that companions other than a Ranger’s pet are not intended to count towards this bonus as well.
For anyone interested, I tested this in Heart of the Mists with no amulet using Mesmer Greatsword’s auto-attack from max range. By recording 50 attacks, one with no minipet, one with a clone, one with a phantasm, and one with none of these, I saw no significant change in average damage, which leads me to believe that none of these count as a “companion” for the purpose of this rune set any longer.
Please confirm that this is intentional, I will replace my chosen runes if this will no longer benefit me as a non-ranger.
No dev confirmation yet, but I went ahead and changed my runes because it probably is intentional.

Thanks for the heads-up, Rose. I searched to see if anyone had posted it, but missed it somehow. I’m going to hold onto mine for the time being, just in case!
