Animal Lore Mastery
The tamer's mastery: every perk buffs your pet rather than you. See Skill Masteries for the system itself.
| Requires | Animal Lore at 90.0 |
| Taught by | Animal Trainer — 10,000 gold |
| Ultimate | Call For Blood |
Perks
| Perk | Effect per level | At level 8 |
|---|---|---|
| Dominion | +3% pet damage, plus a small flat bonus | +24% damage |
| Master's Reins | +2% pet controllability | +16% |
| Expert Trainer (template) | +2.5% pet XP | +20% XP |
All three perks require your pet to be within 16 tiles. Send it far ahead and it fights without any of them — this mastery rewards staying close.
Expert Trainer compounds with time rather than with a single fight: 20% faster pet levelling across a character's life is a large amount of saved effort.
Ultimate — Call For Blood
Fires when your pet deals damage at 1% per proc level (8% at level 8). Triggers your pet's own ultimate ability — what actually happens depends on the creature. Also fully heals you.
This is the only ultimate whose trigger and effect both belong to the pet rather than to you.
