Over-Equipping calculations are now based directly off the stats of the shell being used to summon them. **Please note** this issue was caused by incorrect starting points for the over equipping calculation on some pets. This caused issues with pets being uncontrollable when they should have been, but also gave some pets leeway in the players favor in OE calculations, these calculations are now enforced strictly based exactly on the pets correct requirements as they always should have been.
