Not all creatures make use of base stats. about azerothcore-wotlk HOT 3 OPEN

We need a lot of more research about it before to confirm the issue. The main reason is simple : pets and other player creatures use stats such as strength, agility... because it's based on the player's stats. But there is no template or any stats values defined for all creatures in the DB and i'd be surprised if Blizzard defined stats for every creature of this kind since it's never been found in sniffs or DBCs.

Creature stats do show up in sniffs. If you charm a creature (mind control and enslave work for it, pets (but not guardians) as well), then the stats will be sent in an SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT packet for that particular creature. Not only has CMaNGOS already begun the process of implementing this functionality, but they also went through the trouble of collecting those stats where they could. I also did some stat collection, but I don't have any values for the rogue creature class since no pets fall under that (creature stats are unique for class/level).

EDIT: I will however be the first to say that more research is absolutely needed on how those stats are actually used; one side effect of CMaNGOS's implementation is that they had to basically turn off its use of the stamina stat since it impacted health of creatures a bit too much in an incorrect manner, though afaik the other stats are pretty well nailed down.

Ok, I wasn't aware that these values existed in sniffs before today ^^.

I'm already working on a basic implementation. I just need to make sure the calculations are right, and that it's compatible if the creature doesn't have any data.

I haven't looked at what cmangos has done yet, but I do need to think about the stamina part. Could you contact me on Discord and send me an example of this sniff so that I can see exactly how the data is structured?
