Pet Knockback

[dreamrider]

I am approaching max out in building up my current character (Vanq, level 88), and I am noticing an odd thing that I don't think I have seen before.

My pet and his minions (Skellies VI) are knocking the opposition around like ping-pong balls. I mean, bounces that have to be something like the equivalent of KB +90 or better.

At first I thought it was just the skellies, and I though it might be an undocumented bene of using the Level VI Skellie Spell, but it definitely seems to be both pet and minions. Also, it doesn't seem to matter if the pet is transformed or not.

The only gear on my avatar that has any KB is my crossbow, which has just +25.

This has been going on noticeably since about level 75. I'm on floor ~55 of the SV, and the critters are at about m-lvl 62-63, but it seems to happen even when I go into a Phase Portal and the m-lvl is the same as the avatar.

So, for you veterans, modders, and occasional dev out there, is this normal, you think, just caused by the high level of the pet/minion, or is this some sort of oddly benficial glich??

PS - Pet melee value is 3308-6615.

I never made a character that high yet in Torchlight, so I have not encountered this before.

Does it happen only with the pet and its summons or does it happen with your summons as well if you are using skills.

I don't have any Summon Spells on this avatar, and Vanq's don't have any Skills for summoning entities that would produce knockback.
