Tamed V-raptor....

Does the bonus stack for one companion or only per pack member? In other words, does the bonus only stack when other pack members are present in a group with you.

    One gives 1 % . When everyone in party of 5, has one, then it goes up to 5 %.

    The bonus only stack for people who are using the Tamed velociraptor in your party.

    So if you having none and everyone else using it, you are gaining no advantage of it.

    I think it would be cool if the raptors attacked in packs like they do when they are mobs. I also think that when two (or more) raptors met for the first time they should bob their heads and squeal at each other. It would be fun too if they did not initially attack any of the T-Rex's but instead they "talked" for a few seconds and looked at the players.

    they are currently cheap and the sellsword isn't as meaningful as it once was. I think everyone should be loading one of these. herd attackmunity

    I have them on my two main characters. I tried using them early on and their attack animations are slow. Does anyone else feel they attack slowly?

    Does the aspect of the pack work if they aren't summoned?

    Yes, aspect of the pact is given if they are one of the active companions. It does not have to be summoned. On the preview server, there were two raptor companions listed in the campaign information. One gave power and the other gave defense. Both of them used Aspect of the Pack. The power raptor was the only one that made it to LIVE...so far.

    IMO they give the best flat bonus so far... +5% if everyone using it is amazing.

    That condition will happen very very rarely. There are other companions that can fill an active slot better and more reliably in my opinion.

    that's why I said herdattackimmunity. this is exactly like the immunization debate. lol. even if only three people in the party have it in their stable you're doing good. it's better than any archon. imo the peer pressure should be on everyone who can afford one to get one. I'm not really sure what is better tbh. I don't expect it in pugs but in guild and alliance runs youd think most people would be loading one. i wish you could see what was in everyone's stable other than summoned.

    the description on this pet dont make any sense if it wont gige you 1% when solo, because if the +1% only pop with 2 raptors in a party you would only reach 5% in large fight with 6 raptors, so only 4% in dungeons...
    (so from this i undestand it gives flat 1% i'm right ?)

    another thing i cant figure is if this stacks when youre in a party or it would go active by being near another player with a raptor, but not in a party...

    Can someone help me pls ?

    This is an old topic but what about having 5 active on a single character? Do they function together?

    You cannot have more than one identical active companion. Otherwise, I would have 5 active earth archons for +40% damage.
