Does Familiar Count as a Pet?

[Disciple of Erebos]

Hi, just a quick logistics question in terms of the Wizard skill Familiar. If I have a Tasker and Theo increasing the attack speed of pets by 50%, does that also increase the attack speed of Familiar?

Also, as a separate question, if I am a WD and I have both 'Tasker and Theo' and 'Mask of Jeram' equipped, and I also have bracers giving my fire skills 15% more damage, how will the damage calculation work for elemental pets like Fire Dogs and Tiki Torcher fetishes?

Thanks for all the help.

Dunno.

Pretty sure every eligible bonus counts. Physical bonuses would help most other pets.

If you want to be sure make a new WD and steal their weapon, it should do 2-3 damage or something. Remove anything that adds average damage, then determine what your damage would be with your present stats assuming everything works, then watch the numbers. If you don't see numbers quite so high, you can start ruling out bonuses and different orders of operation until you've reverse engineered the calc.
