<P>Swarm pets are cast vs. a single target, and when that target dies, the pets disappear.   It's always been that way - Swarm of Rats, Swarm of Bats, Rotting Packhounds (I miss those) all did the same thing. </P>

Then the same should apply for warden tree's and fury ae pets yet they last for full duration

This is the same pet as the old Rotting Packhounds.</P> <P>And yes as others have said our dumb fire is a a single target pet with an aoe attack as compared to the other classes aoe pets.</P> <P>Easiest way to use them I find is to put main pet onto primary target, tab and send rats on second mob along with ghastly stench dumbfire mob unless a 3rd mob is in the group. Then its tab again before dumbfire so in effect having 1 pet on each of the 1st 3 mobs in a group. Works well and stops the main pet killing the 1st mob too quick and losing the extra aoe damage the dumbfire pet is doing.</P> <P> </P> <P>Sark. </P>
