I am lost. Pub 97 stuff to test

[R Traveler]

Week ago we had first stage of testing and your goal was to test gaining system. Its done, we had feedback and replies from devs.
Now we testing something and no single reply from devs I seen. There are few problems and I have not seen even "we got it, will fix next stage"

There is summary what works wrong, at least from my point of view:

1. Pets may have option to increase Parry skill cap, but can not gain it. Animal lore show "--"
2. Some Magery abilities need 1600 or 3100 points to activate. We have no proper ways to get so many points at once
3. Chiv, Necro, and after some upgrades Poisoning and Magery do not have any gains.
4. What are the difference between "Magery" and "Magery Mastery" ?

Magery Mastery is same as with players. Death ray, etc.

Would parry even work without a weapon?

Some other pets do have parry skill, gain it and there is visible animation on successful parry.

The "Magery Mastery" ability changes the AI of the pet. It will run around (similar to how summoned Air Eles do) casting nothing but E-Bolt, FS and occasionally channeling Death Ray on the target, and will not engage the enemy in melee on it's own, unless the enemy walks up to it. It's very Mana intensive, which is why i suggest a Serpentine Dragon for it, and give it 30 MR/1500 Mana/120 Magery Cap/120 Eval Cap. Their stats scream "MAGE!".

Their 1,000+ INT in particular makes them the best option for heavy Mage pet. The max you can "train" INT to is 700, and every 10 points of INT is a innate 1% Spell Damage Increase, so the Serpentine Dragon has 30% more SDI than any other pet due to his 1k+ INT.
