Never buy Snappy for actual use + Review of ability

[Jexetta]

Fair warning (and I know it's been stated before) snappy is an absolutely broken and horrible pet.

Arcane Ability: Hallowed Shell
Grants all allies in range a shield which protects against incoming damage and heals players on removal by half of damage absorbed.

Cooldown : About 29 seconds.

It sounds kinda cool right? Well the shield calculation must be broken or something - I leveled Snappy to level 40 and the total damage it absorbs is A WHOLE 294 DAMAGE! I know... totally over powered. Yes, 1 mob hit and it's basically broken. It then heals you 3 times in short succession for 49 health for a grand heal total of 147 health!

Can a developer please look into this? There is no way that calculation is the intended total damage absorbed and healed. I know Ravager and others posted this awhile ago & knew what I was getting into, but this pet is ranked way down there for absolutely awful pets given it's current state.

Someone please look into this...

Thanks!

Haha I tried to warn you but yeah. It doesn't seem right.

thanks for the warning...

In theory the AA is better than Scorches.

My work here is done.

Lmao scorch's shield at 40 absorbs around 1.2k or 1.45DMG. So useful than a shield that breaks painfully than a mages shield...

A mage's shield has 2 sec invulnerability, which is way more useful than the little dmg absorption that Scorch shield does. ''Little'' because mobs at 40 do hit that hard for the shield to break in 1 sec and that too the user does get damaged even when under the shield, unlike the invulnerability shield of mages. Just pointing it out.

Thanks OP for the warning, I have been wanting to buy Snappy. Well 294 damage is definitely a glitch. And 147 hp healing is unbelievable. Guess Snappy is a joke atm, and I'll refrain from buying it. Hoping its AA is fixed but since it is more easily available, unlike Arcane pets, it will most likely remain "on the radar" like Scorch for an extended period of time.

honestly 240damage absorbed and scorch's 1.2k damage absorbed is the same result, insta break and sometimes insta crit death with shield on. Shielding pets so far are an absolute failure and I only use my scorch for speedy and mana free brackenridge run nowadays.

You mixed it with nekro, nekro's shield formula is (((PetDamage+petHealth)*1.1)+(2.5*level)) this is 1160.7 at lvl41 ref

The formula for scorch's shield is ((2.5*damage)+50), this is 495 on lvl41. ref

[affizenho]

they should either fix the pet or severely reduce its price, 100 teeth is not worth it

[Continents]

Thx for the warning dude i was about to buy it..

Love yas.

They should buff Snappy to having the same shield formula as Nekro but with less damage absorption if that's possible. This would be really good to use because it provides a weaker Nekro's shield and heals back 50% of the HP.

Honestly I'm more than a little tired of STS churning out pets every few weeks which absolutely suck. In theory they could be simply amazing - for eg. Fritters could make CC a breeze...if its pull wasn't so tiny. If y'all are gonna make pets like these - which I support - make them good by actually testing them in the hardest elites like the Planar Tombs and Tindirin, please.

i wish snappy would be made better cos its expensive and theres not many of them

[Candylicks]

I'm going to nekro here just to say Jex has a l40 snappy.

Lol.
