Good luck trying to find one, they drop like twice a year lol..and if you do happen to find one on the broker its always priced for an obscene amount of plat (150+ on my server anyway). Technicially any mob in their low 60s has a chance to drop it.

Is the nightshade worth mastering?  From what I have read, and parsed it seems as if the mage pet completely rocks over the scout pet in both single and multiple target situations.  Mostly anecdotal though, I would love to see some concrete numbers and discussion on which pet to utilize.  Even in raids I dont have much of a problem with my mage pet and aoe's as long as I can stand at the edge of spellcasting range from the mob.

mage is better than scout so i wouldn't pay the huge price for it.  i have the nightshade master just because i wanted full masters though i never use it.

There are like 5 necros on Unrest looking for this.  Someone has it on the broker for 300p.  Good luck!  LOL!

On Befallen it never pops onto the broker for anything less than 100 plat in my experience.  That is just nutty, there is no spell in our arsenal that is worth that much.  Especially if you have the Adept III.  It's just not that much of an upgrade to justify that expense, IMO.

<p>I want it simply for the fact that the M1 looks better than the AD3 pet <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>I'll give Gazer Isle a shot...</p>

<p>anything that is lvl 60 on that island has the chance, but ive spent many of hours there seeking the ultra rare master. It is absolutly rediculous how rare this is and how much it goes for on the broker.</p><p> I been on these boards seeking info on where this master has dropped and like the 10 people on my server who have it i asked them where they got it most of them said they bought it , but the ones who actually got it on a drop said they camped gazer island for 4-5 hours a day killing those eyes for months, and the others said they got it in BSS instance in bonemire. </p><p> I have been doing all those suggestions for the last 6 months and nothing for me. </p><p>but i keep hoping.</p>

<p>Just a note: If you are lucky enough to assemble 6 of the EOF necro set armor pieces, the proc for the scout pet is crazy.  No M1 warlock pet can compete and the EOF set doesnt apply to warlock pets since its melee only.</p><p>For single targets mostly.  On raids, the warlock pet still rules.  I dropped an average of 200 DPS on a scout line respec from warlock.  Not to mention the end skill for the scout is almost useless unless you are really that impatient as to not wait for him to run over.  However, the power/health regen of the warlock is much more effective.</p><p>And Consumption works much better on the warlock, have tried it on both pets - warlock wins out.</p>

I thought consumption proc'd on attacks, whether magical or melee. Since the scout pet has 59% haste and is duel wielded, I figured the scout would trigger it quite a bit more.</p><p>Didnt mean to hijack your Nightshade rare master problem thread.
