12-23-2016 - Pet Scaling

[Osiris]

New Pet Scaling system:

-new source code (reworked from prior version)
-A scaled pet is only possible when a Pet Focus item is used
-Traditional 'pet classes' will have stronger pets.
-Hate 'Encyclopedia' is now ALL/ALL and works on pets to 65 for all classes (this is so classes like druids, shaman have a focus item to max level)
-Traditional 'pet classes' will also get higher level Pet Focus items that provide upgrades over previous Focus items.
-'Envious' versions of Pet Focus items have a clicky belt that you can give to your pet. (upgrades provide +hp, +ac and other stats - they add significant stats to your pet!).
-Pet Focus Items only need to be 'worn' when the pet is cast. Once it is cast, you can replace gear to create highest (stat) config to get the best pet. (will need to zone to see change in pet stats)

-I fully expect some minimal fine tuning that will be needed - these fine-tuning adjustments can happen in-game.

First of all, I love your Server, great work!

On the pets scaling: in my opinion they are a bit useless at the moment.
I have a druid, a sk and a necro. I wouldnt even bother to summon focused druid and sk pet, but thats fine, not realy pet classes.

My sk has 800 str, does arround 2000dps
my necro has 800 int does roughly 800dps spell and 400-500 dps pet. i do not understand, why a necro should do less dps than a hybrid meele. he has much less tankability and no real other trait, a sk does not have. (group dot heal is not scaled).
on a solo note, my necro is a much better tank than the pet, so its just a dps pet....
