Default Possible Stalking Bug

Whip/Crush combo leads one pet to attack 40% slow and the other 50% slower.

The wording of the stalking skill leads me to believe that even with only 1 whip your pets should be 40% slower, not 50%.

Edit: Same problem with shield.

Skill reads:

This skill will increase pet damage, healing, and intimidation stun duration by up to 100% but slows the rate of attacks by up to 40% for whip users and up to 50% for others.

For slow effects, use the slow % but as a negative.

Just repeat for multiple effects.

DO NOT multiply by 1+slow% to get your new delay. 1*1.4 is not the same as 1/0.6 and your answer will be wrong.

I think it works as intended, its just the wording that has to be a lil bit more clarified. I understand it as half of you with a whip counts as whip user and another half of you that doesnt holds a whip is not a whip user.

This, basically.

In that case I suggest a re-wording of the skill to specify that a whip must be equipped on the side of the pet to have a 40% slow.
