A question about the Tainted Sacrament line?

[MidNiteSun]

<p>Is there any difference between the apprentice lvl 1 and the Master 2 Tainted sacrament  spells? Not sure what the point is to have different lvls if the spell stays the same.</p><p>I was hoping that a Master lvl 2 spell would allow me to summon a tougher warrior, maybe a heroic lvl one or it should at least last longer. I would really like it to summon a spell casting mob to help me or a healer.</p>

Dps done by the "better" version is a bit higher.  No one knows actual pet stats for AE survival or anything though -- it's essentially a DoT with HP is all, so it can't be possessed to check.

<p>Yup, it's essentially a master 1 dot that can get aoe'd down in one shot or riposite.  There is a difference however in spell qualities, and worth upgrading from App 1 <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</p><p>As a side note anyone remember our floating glob of goo graphic?   Or the bird of death?  man those were lame essences <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.</p>

<p>Considering my SK was created on Nov 14, 2004 -- yeah.. I remember.  I also remember when the pet actually spoke audibly instead of just in /say -- and groupmates getting really freaked out by it.  The there was the fun part where you got your skeleton form as part of the defensive stance and there was no /hide option and that frelling annoying laugh EVERY time you swung your weapon *shudders*</p>

<p>Anyone else have issues where you cast the T8 version and he just stands there instead of swinging away (mine often keeps his sword sheathed and does nuttin)</p>

<p>So the master lvl summons does more damage, that's good to know cuz whenever i read the discriptions they look the same so i've never bothered to upgrade it.</p>

Simply put, the dumbfire dont know how to get to the mob, so instead of running up to them, they just stick to following you around instead.

<p>had this happen lastnight </p><p>i was soloing in poa becuase i was bored lol and just felt like laying the smack down on multiple mobs  </p><p>anyway for fun i had turned auto attack off and was letting my pet kill a mob , befor the first pet died i was casting the next pet, when the next pet appeared it just stood there </p><p>i dont know if it was becuase A) i had auto attack off when i summoned it mid fight (shouldnt matter) or B) from casting another pet wyle the first was still active (maybe this was lag) </p><p>i didnt realy think about it becuase it only happened that one time where my pet just stood there and i thought it was just a funny glitch from lag , but saw this thread and figured i would add in the exact things happening when pet didnt do anything </p><p>on a side note i soloed the lastname in El'Arad , never tried him befor pretty long fight since he regains to 100 % at 20 % ,dropped a bunch of junk lol but still was a first and was a fun fight : ) (oh and he's a paladin so that made it twice as sweet ) </p>

Taking a slight tangent here...but I have noticed this on my dumbfire pet with my 65th warlock, so it might be an issue with all dumbfire pets.
