Description

I hit level 20, leveled using Ice pets as theurg, approximate HP of my yellow spell ice pet was 190-275, i respecced to earth at 20 to do some testing, and the approximate hp of my yellow earth pet was 75, it gets 1 shotted by even orange con mobs, and it hits for LESS hp than my ice pet melee, which hit for the same as its casted ice nuke, 60-75 on an orange-red con mob.

Reproduction Steps

1. get a level 20 theurg, summon an earth pet and see that it has 1/3rd or less the HP of an ice pet
2. Cast an ice pet and see that when a mob hits it, it changes to melee attacks, and the melee attacks do nearly the same damage as the ice nuke
3. Cast the blue spell icon earth pet, and the level 1 spell icon earth pet, and notice that they all have the same max hp, it is not scaling.

Intended Behavior

I am not a DAOC veteran, however others have told me that earth pets should not be so weak, the change from ice to earth switched me from being able to kill purples to not being able to kill an orange.

Also, Earth pet hp should scale as it levels/gains higher earth magic skill.

Evidence

My lower level earth pets are marginally BETTER than my higher level earth pet, this should be evidence enough that something is wrong.
