Questions about SK pet

[Mistmoore-Milaga]

<DIV>1. Cursed Sacrament, our second pet, uses tainted essence for casting, correct?  I have never seen a cursed essence, but that's what the spell text says.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2. In long battles vs. Epic or tough named, am I the only one that uses both my pets?  I had no idea we could have both up at once until I accidentally cast tainted sacrament while my birdie was up.  In fact, I had 2 pets + my squire helping me out.  Is this an oversight?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3. With the new pet changes, can we actually control our pets now and get them to switch targets?  I doubt I'll be able to play until next Tuesday to test it out.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4. Cursed Sacrament is our highest pet for now, correct?  Wondering if I should look into getting that one Adept 3'd first.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>5. Why, even if I have essence in my backpack, does casting a pet pull from a house vault ON ANOTHER CHARACTER?</DIV>

Cursed sacrament uses tainted essence -- doesn't matter if you get the essence from Tainted Caress, or Cursed Caress. I use both pets, sometimes the squire attacks of its own will (usually when the mob AE's) but it's just a bug and doesn't do any real good damage. We can't change their targets, but sometimes the pet will assist you until all mobs in an encounter are dead. Cursed Sacrament is our highest pet so far. Are you sure it does that? Never happened for me.. <div></div>

<DIV>Well, either that or my cursed sacrament doesn't use up essence and my alt is having essence evaporate from the vault.  I watched as I cast it.  The number on the essence stack didn't lower, but it did raise when my cursed caress proc'd.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Strange.</DIV>

<DIV>Hey, i very much recommend upgrading your 40 pet to AD3.  It won't increase the level, but it does increase its damage substantially, and hp too some I think.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>To give you an example, I like to solo green group (hero) mobs for exp, much better exp than even or yellow con solo mobs.  When I get a group with 3 mobs, I can cast pet on one mob then change targets, it will off tank that mob and usually kill it by the time I kill the other two.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I consider this one of my best AD3 upgrades.</DIV>
