Merge candidate Edit

We should probably merge the content from warlock minions into this article because they appear to be about the same topic.  Howbizr^(t·c) 11:14 AM, 12 Jul 2009 (EDT)

Minion ability coefficients Edit

Does anyone have information on minion abilities' attack power and spell power coefficients? I couldn't find anything on elitistjerks. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:21, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

I've gotten information from the rawr source code. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:57, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed that many warlock ability costs are out of date. While calculating the costs based on base mana, I noticed that warlock minions don't gain as much health or mana from stamina and intellect as player characters. Here are the results of my calculations. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:57, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Actually, it seems that minion abilities still have fixed, rank-based mana costs. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:49, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

After Corfen's recent edits, I did some checking and noticed that the inheritance information from warlocks' stamina tooltips and the bonus health and mana from minions' stamina and intellect tooltips are inaccurate. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:49, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Actually, after further testing and calculations, it seems that, although the stamina inheritance tooltip is inaccurate, the health from stamina and mana from intellect tooltips are correct. Minions only get 1 mana per point of base intellect, and don't get any health from their base stamina. Corfen's values are correct for health from bonus stamina and mana from bonus intellect. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:16, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
