Wolf Pack should upgrade the wolves from Pounce/Predator’s Mark

The wolves from Predator’s Mark (applied by Pounce) pretty much suck. They have a bug right now (if you die, they stop dealing or taking damage), but even when they’re not bugged, the damage is just poor. (Unless there’s some very surprising scaling on them, but it doesn’t seem like there is based on poe2db?) Moreover, they nonbo with the Wolf Pack spirit gem, because all of the wolves from Wolf Pack are a Companion, and benefit from companion nodes. The Predator’s Mark wolves are just minions, so they don’t.

Pounce itself is pretty strong (and does a ton of stuff), so buffing it directly seems problematic. It’s just the Pounce/Predator’s Mark wolves that are weak. Using them does have an opportunity cost (you can replace Predator’s Mark with a socketed Mark gem to use that mark instead), but since that also takes a socket, it’s probably not enough to justify the wolves from it being particularly strong out of the box.

The solution, IMO, is that if you have Wolf Pack active, Predator’s Mark gives you additional Wolf Pack wolves, instead of the usual Predator’s Mark wolves. Then those can be better, and benefit from Companion nodes.
