What's recast time on chicken and how much HP per tick?
Chicken skill cast and cool down is identical to bunny skill.
A tier one, level one chicken and bunny were compared on a level 6, zero pet ability, character.
In this scenario, bunny healed 11 hp. Chicken healed 6 hp each tic for 3 tics. You could extrapolate it out to say a chicken heals 160 percent of what bunny heals, if proportions hold.
However: bugs were reported saying chicken healed far more than it should at higher skill, pet level, and tier (i.e. tier 4 lvl 6 chicken healing 545/tic with 223 pet ability). Bunny gives focus (energy) and spell evasion versus chicken dexterity and movement evasion. Also, do you want instant big healing or even bigger healing in installments?
These were he things you must weigh. A tank commented to me that he never runs out of energy since getting a bunny. As a mage main, I feel I could sack some focus for bigger heals.
Thoughts?
