Prolific Minion - Imbues your pet with a proc that summons short-duration swarm pets to attack it's target much like Shard of Eternal Pain or many of the melee class weapons from PoP. Further ranks increase the swarm pet power or how long they last or increased procrate. I'm picturing this lasting 30-60 seconds with a recast around 10-30 minutes.

I would like to see an AA line that increases our pet's crit damage that would work similar to the Veteran's Wrath AAs for melees. Possibly 7-10% crit damage per rank at 5 ranks.

Also, a strong continuation of defensive AAs for pets (5 ranks of pet avoidance, and pet mitigation) if possible.

we defintly need a mana regen AA. like a 3-6rank AA that at rk1 does 7K dmg to pet, with a 5K instant mana heal and make it rise 2-3K dmg per rank, until we get a massive pet nuke with massive mana return, with recast time around 15-20mins

If the devs would do something like this, they should start it at a 3-5 tier right away and start the first tier at a lower level (like 6khp, 4kmana return, level 71 req, and then 76, 81, 86, 91, etc with the appropriate upgrades to each tier). That way the first tier gives our younger magicians something as well. 15 Minutes sounds about appropriate, but if it's 20 mins that would be ok too. 30 minutes would be too long though imho..

Mana regen, mana regen, mana regen. I like Gem's idea, but I think it needs to have the same timer as a wizzies harvest or we still lose out.

I still want an AA that makes our gargoyle pet come out pre-shrunk. An AA for our aura would be cool to, maybe even an upgrade to Rathe's Strength. Something along the lines of 3/6/9 cost for a 5%/9%/12% damage modifier increase.

An expendable AA set that gives our pets better armor. Make it something like 9 AA's for intricate defiant plate, 18 aa's and our pet will get a set of elaborate defiant plate, 27 aa's and our pet would get a set of elegant defiant plate. If you or your pet dies, it'll take another 9/18/27 aa's to reequip a new pet.

Restrictions: Swarm(s) can only be redirected if current target dies or the swarm(s) lose agro (mez).

NB: Often my swarms, especially servant of ro and host of the elements lasts way longer than any group or solo mobs, and I can't help feeling that the AAs have lost lots of it's usability outside of raids. Not so much a problem if soloing as I canjust get in melee range and have mob agro me to redirect swarm, but in groups/raids I often can't get mobs to inore me over tank.

Form of the Elements 1/2/3/4/5
