Description

The damage calculation for pet based spells that use the caster's acuity stat for damage calculations are not using the starting stats for the casters (race + starting allocation)

Necromancers, Animists are 2 examples and any other pet based spells are likely the same.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create an Celt Animist with 0 Int at startup
2. Use bomber spell on 50 test mob, check damage
3. Create Sylvan Animist with 18 int startup
4. Bomb 50 test mob see no damage difference

Intended Behavior

Have pet based spells that should work with casters acuity affect damage calculation properly

This image shows the testing that shows the base stats of the Animist are not counting towards the bombers damage. This explains the damage issues Animists have on tracker.

This also goes with the damage issue I reported regarding necromancers.
