Nice stuff.

I don't get the info about territorial agression tactic though. You will loose the armor buff from your pet then. 25% dmg boost is nice, but you will loose your pet dmg at the same time and ofc the armor buff. That being said, pets are a bit odd at times though.

TA gives you an armor buff equal to horned squig armor buff, 25% is considered what the pet would make up so instead of relying on pet UI to do damage, you are relying on yourself. Main time to use TA and ABM is when you are doing large scale bc let's be honest, pets are VERY rarely healed so you will often times be just cycling through pets.

You can see the difference in damage when comparing poison arrer 533 base damage, to festering arrow 733 base damage. 549ish is 75% of 733 meaning you are losing about 25% damage to have a pet out (which is why both no squig tactics give 25%) .

hmm.. TA doesn't show the armor bonus for me.. when i spawn the pet i get 3200 armor, but when i have no pet im like 2300, same as with TA. so how do i know it gives me armor bonus also? or im just bugged then

Are you using statdoll? I've not checked but feel like that might be a visual issue. If you are using an addon and it's still doing so, could report it to a GM.
