Testing: The Importance of a Pet's Damage Type
Cu Sidhe are popular pets in Ultima Online for Animal Tamers, however, how does their damage stack up against other animals in content? Just how advantageous can it be to bring another pet over a CU.
In this test we will compare the base damage of a CU vs that of a Hiryu against the Peerless boss Dreadhorn.
A Cu Sidhe's damage spread is 50% Energy, 50% Cold.
A Hiryu is 100% Physical.
Test stats include: 700 Str, 120 Tactics, 120 Anatomy.
These resist spreads are actual documented resists spreads from Dreadhorn kills and not hypothetical.

Taking out the highest and lowest result, using Base Damage only, a Hiryu will on average do 47% more damage than a CU on Dreadhorn.
This does not account for the physical debuff of Grasping Claw or any difference in the uptime of Chivalry Spells on either animal. It also does not account for any bleed damage.
