I'm going to buy the spell just to have, but I don't think I will use it. The duration of the pet buff and the 50 mana per cast just don't work for me. Being a Tank class I don't have a lot of time for meding mana.
Also note if I where to solo I'd use the buff, but I'd also have time to med.

You think 1hour for 50mana is too short ?
At the time the above post was written (06), this spell only had a duration in the neighborhood of 15 minutes. As an SK it was a pain to swap out a spell gem every fifteen minutes to buff your pet and remem a combat spell. 50 mana, for fifteen minutes was a burden for the small benefit gained from this spell.
Yay for SOE for extending the pet haste line of spells to the long durations that we now currently enjoy!

Shadow Knight version of the necs Focus Death.
very usefull spell, waiting to get it now on my shadow knight. 20% haste makes alot of difference when you arent grouped with shm/enc that can cast better, or soloing.
Will stack with most buffs, but not higher pure haste buffs.

SK pets are good for a long term dot as long as they dont get agro will this spell increase the pets agro?

Yes, will increase the pet's agro. However... they've made it so that if a PC is in melee range, the pet will never be the NPCs target. So as long as you stay near your pet, you can wack away, but if your pet is the only thing in range of the mob, he'll get clobbered.

Sorry, meant the mage summoned mask not colar, do they stack?
yes they stack, this is a spell, and the mask is a worn haste

Does the spell stack "haste" with the mage summoned colar??? I know there is a limit to how much haste a pet can have. Would like to know if using this spell stacked with the colar is worth it???

damn worthless spell... reason being SK pets are junk. i play a necro approaching 60 at the moment and used to tell SK's to quit being whiners cause their pets suck. well... i now sympathize with them because their pets do in fact suck the big one. therefore, this spell is a waste of mana on a pet that cant take more than 4 to 5 blows

And on another note, anybody hiding behind pet has room to talk, what a wuss

I think that your problem is that you are expecting your SK pet to act as a tank like your Necro pet does. If that is the case, yes, the SK pets do suck. The solution is to think of your SK's pet as a DOT, rather than another fighter. Sure, even with this spell if you pet is going one-on-one with most non-green mobs, it's going to get slapped around. But, if it's assisting you (or group member) in the fight, this spell would be of great value.

Klaritin is exactly right. When it comes to DoT spells, nothing at all beats a pet. SK pets, when seen solely as pets, are not fantastic damage producers. However, when you compare the damage output of a pet, especially over the course of a night of grinding, there is really no DoT spell that can compare. Anything that increases the damage output of your pet is fantastic. Effectively, this spell will increase your pet's damage output by no less than 20%. In fact, the bonus to STR should provide slightly better than the 20% improvement granted by the haste component of the spell.
To put this in perspective, this spell is effectively equal to a free Burning Affliction for your pet.
