Pet Abilities-What have you discovered?

[Dastion]

<DIV>I don't know about you guys, but I always want to know just what exactly everything my pet can do does.  So, if you've done any dueling or figured anything out about the various pet types post it here.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tank</DIV> <DIV>-Graven Scream-Group Taunt</DIV> <DIV>-Adherant's Charge-Knock Back</DIV> <DIV>-Corpsic Frenzy-Triple Hit</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Warlock</DIV> <DIV>-Grim Bolt: Regular DD</DIV> <DIV>-Grim Distortion: Rather hard hitting DoT (my ad 3 grim Thulian's does 80-90 a tick)</DIV> <DIV>-Grim Embrace: Very hard hitting AE Lifetap, heals entire group including pets.  At 39 my Ad 3 Thulian does about 400 to each enemy and heals everyone for 240. Recast seems to be about 45 seconds.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Assassin-Most of these I'm unsure of, the guy I dueled with confused me</DIV> <DIV>-Poison Spike: DoT that lowers the agility of target</DIV> <DIV>-Throat Gash: Might be a silence or an interrupt, unsure.</DIV> <DIV>-Wispy Garrote: Seems to be a single hard hit followed by a few lesser hits. These all happened in succession so looks to be a rapid hit ability.</DIV> <DIV>-Unseen Blade: Slow reuse hard hit</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>There are more various attacks, I just can't remember them off hand or I'm not sure what they do.</DIV>

<P>Corpsic Frenzy is an old thraal ability but they removed it for some reason.</P> <P>Assassin also has Shadestrike which deals more damage than Unseen Blade.</P> <P> </P>

[Dastion]

<DIV>My thrall has corpsic frenzy still.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Does the assassin actually have any back attacks?</DIV>

Master lvl assassin was hitting for 1200+ with this. Didn't appear to need to be behind the target (opening attack coming straight at the mobs).</span><div></div>

My master temptress also casts a grp buff called grim thorns....its a little like the old grim presence buff, but it last 60 sec or so at a time. Its a melee damage buff (+8% i think) and a small damage shield. <div></div>

Yeah, Shadestrike. I only have adept 1 assassin and I saw a couple hits for 1050 last night. I was messing around in feerrot getting my harvest skills up to level, and didn't feel like invising around green mobs all the time. With words of the wicked on him, he is one mean pet. I have the rares to upgrade  three spells to adept 3 now, and I think assassin is going to be one )

<div></div>Must admit.   I'm loving the assassin.    Will be upgrading him asap i think.  Shadestrike is the big hit I've noticed from him. <div></div><p>Message Edited by Uanelven on <span class=date_text>09-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>01:36 AM</span>

From what I've seen, Master Warlock pet is better vs. grps of mobs with its AoE and in larger groups fighting longer fights because of its buffs and lifetaps; while the Sassin is suited better against tough single mobs or targets that die quickly (high spike single target damage)........ <div></div>
