Actually, this is incorrect when it comes to archon rings.

Second round of tests PVP Specific show:

• The % damage addition from an archon ring is nulled by pets with 15% damage. ie. The damage is the same with archon or another ring (in this case my blood ruby) which gives the same pre-% stats.

• However, a 15% damage pet only actually adds 5% damage in the ctf arena. This is the result of class balancing in pvp, I believe.

• This balancing means that a pet with 5% damage does not have its % damage counted at all, allowing the archon to actually give its bonus.

• I did not have a chance to test with a 10% damage pet yet, but these findings imply that 10% damage from pets is likely discounted in pvp


Archon armor bonus (warrior) ring does still give a benefit when used in conjunction with passive armor (in comparison to a normal warrior ring that does not have the % armor bonus). This was not tested with armor producing pets, so that is still an unknown variable.


Repeat that these are only pvp tests, and things act much differently in pve.
