User:Praise/Pet Damage

A player's pet's base damage depends on its evolution. Further calculations are the same as for player weapon damage.
In PvE, a factor 1.33 is applied to pet damage after rounding. This causes a pet's damage interval to be discontinuous and its average slightly off center.

The tables below shows an Elder pet's expected damage ranges in PvP and PvE. The numbers for PvE were confirmed observed in game.

Other than your Beast Mastery, pet's evolution, and standard dmg calculation factors, there are two more things that can influence your pet's damage: its movement speed and its attack speed. Most pets have their attack speed set to 2 s/attack, and their movement speed to 125% relative to you. However, six pets differ in one or both of these. Details can be found in the table below.
All values are observed in game. As you can see, the real attack speed is different from its set attack speed, probably because different attack animations have different durations. Additionally, the Black Bear uses Brutal Mauling which increases its average attack duration.
Note that the pet's movement speed is given while running. However, over large distances, they will move slightly slower due to pausing animations for a split second. So in reality their average movement speed is about 1% lower.
