[QUOTE="Dracones, post: 6358741, member: 6684951"] Well the ranger pet is "balanced" around the idea that the ranger is a 3 attack per action class by 11 like fighters are. Attacks per action tend to have a very high damage output value. Bow rangers and GWF fighters are doing around 20-30 damage per attack on average by the time they hit level 8 or their low teens. Put that into 3 attacks and both classes are doing as much or more single target damage than a wizard spending a 6th level spell slot. My worry is that I don't see the pet damage scaling up like a Hunter's longbow damage will(Sharpshooter and legendary weapons). This could be fixed by having a pet companion feat that allows normal classes to gain a pet companion and the ranger to upgrade their pet into a larger companion with a base damage that competes with Sharpshooter and Great Weapon Master(though a bit less since the pet can tank).
