Spiritmaster pets effectively deal half damage and receive double damage

[The Secret Cow Level]

Level 76+ player characters gets new passive skills that gives:

• PvE Attack (old stat) +100%
• PvE Defense (old stat) +100%
• PvP Attack (old stat) +100%
• PvP Defense (old stat) +100%
• Godstone Suppression +35%

Spiritmaster pets don't get these buffs. This effectively makes them deal half damage and receive double damage against level 76+ targets.

Yes moo, pet tree is no longer viable in PVE. It's just useless. They have very low HP, die by 1 or 2 hits from bosses AOE and their damage is very weak. It's totally useless. I wonder why NC Korea didn't pay attention to this matter. A full tree stigma is worthless for SM. On previous patches pets could tank bosses and easily do a lot of damage to improve our DPS. Now it's just a joke.
