After finally receiving this spell (pretty late) I had already been using my level 70 rogue pet for quite some time. Before I got this spell I was using rune of death (level 62 one same haste cept the mods and stats). Throughout the time that I was using this with rogue pet (about 2 months) I hadn't ONCE seen my pet assasinate anything. In that time I killed about 1000 frogs in lower guk therefore making it very very unlikely that my pet wouldn't assasinate at least one thing. After I got this spell it all changed, is it possible that when they created the rogue pet they didn't give him a default ability to assasinate and relied on this spell to make it happen?

No -- my rogue assasinated the first night I got the pet. For me it only happened maybe once or twice per night. Pet was created with DPoC.

I have a 69 bst bot and a 69 necro bot. The bst pet is better but the bst cant do near the damage that the necro can so it works out, can have fun at tables in PoF.
necros pets are pretty good if you ask me, grantid the bst get buffs and mages get pet weps, but who cares, look at our dots (especially if you have the critical aa's) i got 67 tonight and my new dark nightmare dot did 1418 in one tick thats damn good and it did close to that again so all that damage from one spell and you can stack dots so........ back to subject, necros pets are good given the already good power of our classes, i would like to see our pets have our name like the bst pets do like, xirtkets pet, would be great for people to see the damage our pets do. and we have pet aa's to, flury, critical hits, our pets are like a really really long dot, a dot that can hold a mob from you for a bit if needed so quit whining they are decent.

question....why can't necros haste other undead pets? shouldn't i be able to haste the sk's pet in my group? or a lower level necro if need be in my group? why is this spell limited to my pet only? i never understood that. and dont give me the beastlord explanation...no other characters have warders OR bst's would be able to cast their pet only buffs on them as well. just seems silly to me.

If you are, in fact, a BST, I would certainly hope you could defeat an SK pet. Especially considering the fact that, prior to OoW, the best SK pet was the same pet necros were using at level 49. :P
Then try to solo. I mean really solo, no pocket healer.

He deserves that for posting such a moronic comment, but...
My 68 Bst solos easy, for XP that matches most groups.
Granted he can't take on all the stuff necros can, but with the way xp is now (group bonus, instead of high zone bonuses) you're almost better off killing weaker stuff anyway. When I solo, I kill darkblues that aren't tough enough to break through my defensives and regen, so I don't need a pocket healer. If I use anything on a second account it is my friend's other bst.
Necros are good soloers, but they are not the ONLY soloers.

"but got nerfed because we wereoverpowered"
Is that not what I was saying? If necros pets were equal to mage pets necros would be way to strong. Regardless of what was in the past, the present is that mages are the ultimate pet class and they DO NOT want to change the EXISTING balance of the game, this is obvious.
Furthermore, if we do dig further into the past, before PoP the mage's epic pet PWNED everything necros had. So it seems to me they were only correcting a mistake when they nerfed the necro PoP pets.
EDIT: Like the guy below this post said, you will soon be able to do 16k damage in 9 ticks, and you're complaining?

it seems to me SOE doesnt like necros .. its true at level 70 and over 9 ticks we can do over 16k damage with dots (i worked it out) and i understand we're suposed to be the best soloers. i mean, come on we should get at least a 2k heal for our pet not some prissy 1300 heal. our pet hastes should at least be better in some aspect, but we get the shaft on that aswell. our pets arnt even as good as BL or mage pets either, in DPS or hp/ac. i think its just sad how necros start out all fine and dandy but get the shaft over the next few expanstions.

Not that it has anything to do with what u are saying but ....
I can with 1 dot do 18k in 3 ticks (assuming the planets are aligned)
Ive crit dreadpyre for little over 6k in one tick.
WTF, what pet?

Necro pets are meant to be more of a persistant DoT rather than a tank/offtank. Most of our damage comes through affliction, the pet is just icing on the cake.
I'd love to see our pets mitigate damage a little bit better, but I don't realistically see that happening, given the nature of our class. If Sony decides to give us pets that can actually tank, great.. if not, life goes on. I've survived thus far with pets that can't tank, getting from 66 to 70 will be no different.

You aren't a pet based class like Bst / Mage.
You yourself said you can do 16k damage in just over 9 ticks. Isn't that enough?

This is just silly. CLEARLY SoE intends NOT to change the existing game balance with the next expansion. Therefor in order to maintain balance if they gave necros an 85% haste they woul dhave to give mages a 100% haste. They chose not to do that and simply give both of them a 5% damage modifier.
I think you need to step back and look at your class, and other classes. Necros are NOT ment to be the "Ultimate pet class", mages were ment to take that role. Mage pets are always better than necro pets, that's just how this game was ment to be. If necros had better pets than mages, or even equal pets, then all mages might just as make necros and retire themselves to CoH bots. For hte most part mages have good pets and nuke, not much else. Take a look at what all necros can do and you'll clearly see why you have inferior pets.
Furthermore, tkae notice that before PoP the mage's epic pet seriously owned everything a necro had. Now mages pets are only marginally more effective.

Why would they lower the lvls of pets from 65 to 61?
