Hiho. Nifty new software you've got here. Looks awfully familiar ;)
Anyway, I'm working on a comprehensive Druid guide outside of school and work, and am trying to get some clear numbers on the way Dire Wolves interact with their own passive bonus.
According to ChippyDip's Page, a slvl 20 Dire Wolf will have 193/292/387 life. I'm pretty sure that this is before the passive bonus is applied, since the Arreat Summit seems to confirm the same numbers for Normal difficulty.
So, my question is this. Do Dire Wolves benefit from their own passive bonus? My initial response is "Well, duh!" but the numbers look a little bit strange. Assume max Dire Wolves, max Oak Sage, and that the Druid in question is in Hell Difficulty, in a one player game.
Each wolf should then have 387 life, before bonuses from Oak Sage or passive kicks in. If the passive bonus works the way that I thought it did, then each wolf will have (387 * 2.40) + 387 = 1315 life :blink:
Factor in the 125% bonus from Oak Sage, and you have three wolves each with 2900 life :blink: :blink: :blink:
So...where did I screw up? :unsure: The more I think about this, the more I come to believe that the passive bonus doesn't affect the creature it's on.
