Why are there no PSE armors? (Pet Specific Equipment)

Just found this forum part and going to try it out. Going to combine a question with suggestion to see if I get any lottery wins over at SE.


Why are there no PSE armors? (Pet Specific Equipment)

Just like how we have JSE which enhance our specific job, and there are normal armors enhancing ourselves, I think there should be armor sets who enhances pets, any kind of pet.

A BST is usually something like 50% 50% job / pet damage, a SMN 0% 100%, a PUP 25% 75% and DRG 75% 25%. (rough numbers). It just feels weird to not have armors to enhance a certain part of the job outside AF/JSE.

All pet jobs should have 1-3 sets of combined PET enhancing armors, including rings and earrings.

These items should give a wide range of "neutral" pet boosts. No -perpetuation, or improves charm rate. Just plain +5 damage for pet, or +5 STR for pet, or +5 MAB for pet etc.

Example piece:
Pet ring
level 30
Pet: +3% crit hit rate
DRG/BST/SMN/PUP

You sacrifice stats for yourself, to enhance your pet.

DRGs have a ton of armor pieces that boost wyverns

AF2 has a lot of bonuses like increasing accuracy or lowering magic damage.

Along with that, there are a few pieces that give boosts to wyvern HP.

Hadn't really planned on responding but since I've already posted in some other threads here I might aswell fill in on what you missed.

My point was that we needed more +pet stat things that were job-independent.

You can't equip +wyvern hp on your bst job and get hp on your pet. That is a job specific bonus.

I wanted to see just plain +5 STR for example, that goes to your pet, be it a charmed rabbit, a jug pet, a wyvern, a puppet or an avatar.

As I said, pet jobs have their damage spread out compared to normal jobs, which means we need to enhance both ourselves and our pets, or we are ignoring 25-100% of our damage output.

As I said, the damage from a SMN is pretty much 0% and from the avatar 100% in a normal party. Now it doesn't matter that the SMN can eat meat, wear accuracy rings, STR armor etc, because it is the avatar that melee. So then the avatar needs the stats. +double attack, +magic accuracy, +haste, +ice spikes effect, +en-aspir or whatever.

Re: Why are there no PSE armors? (Pet Specific Equipment)

I agree that there should be more pet specific equipment. I don't need more HP. I don't need more MP. I would like to have some more -perpetuation. I would like some more avatar +damage equipment. Yes I would like to have those. I would like to have some pet -damage equipment. This would be a nice suggestion. I wouldn't mind swapping out my Serket Ring for another ring that did something like the above posted.
