Control Undeath

[Kassabba]

<DIV>Can the two pets be controlled individually? I have the undead on the control box sometimes and the summoned pet sometimes, doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to it?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Afraid not, they both respond to the same commands, if you possess the undead after casting it will show the charmed mob as your primary pet...so have to watch your real pet's hp more closely.<div></div>

<FONT color=#cccccc>When I have one charmed, and I do the pet only heal, it hits both the pet and the charmed equally for no additional cost. It makes me wonder if my pet buffs are hitting both also.</FONT>

They do hit both your pet and the charmed one. Just target the charmed to see the buffs on it.Too bad the possess minion spell no longer works on it though. <span>:smileysad:</span>  Had alot of fun scaring the crap out of lower lvl'd folks with my charmed heroics  <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

Bah, too bad the Implosion AA doesn't work on it! Was so much fun.BTW, not sure if this is still the case or not... but it used to work this way, I'll check. It gives you a few nice control features.When you summoned or controlled a pet, the defaults are always protect caster and protect self on...So... Summon a pet or charm a mob,(do one OR the other, not both) and toggle both to the off position. Then either summon or create pet(whichever you hadn't already done).The pets will not be in opposite modes! ie... the pet will be in protect, while the charmed will be in don't protect.Now, this is/was pretty useful. Set the charmed mob to protect, and your real pet will be in don't protect.... Walk up to an aggressive mob and the charmed pet will autoprotect you and take agro 1st, this way your real pet can be sent in when you really want it to. Often I would rather the charmed mob take damage 1st and my pet goes in after the charmed mob has gotten a good amount of agro (and a healthy beating).Once the charmed pet has taken enough damage that its not worth while anymore, just free it and kill it, it'll be at low HPts relative to what it would normally be, so you get extra exp for less actual effort.

i was wondering with the change to control spells, will there is resistability increase against target higher than xx like every other control spell? this would make this spell completely wortless in the next tier cause it s an ancient teaching and necro are likely not to have upgrade to it.

Your subjugation skills are what helps with mobs not being able to resist it.  And since they grow as we level and use the spells which build subjugation this spell will not become useless...well anymore uselss than it has already been made to be. <span>:smileyvery-happy:</span><div></div>

"Less effective vs mob above level XX"... in the description. This spell doesn't so I'd assume its based solely on subj, until they change that, at which time I'd think they'd add a new spell to take this ones place.

Thanks for the info i was kinda lazy to ask. this week end i puffed the dust off my necro and checked it myself.
