Sphere of Swirling Flame  

 

I bought Orb of Swarming Darkness before I looted this and had trouble occasionally with my pet not equipping his weapons. When this dropped and I was the only class in the group that could use it I looted in hopes that it might fix the problem. My pet summoned with this also had problems equipping his weapons on occasion, but there is an easy fix. After summoning the pet make sure the first thing you give him is weapons. I found if I gave him plate or anything else first, he wouldn't equip or proc the weapons. If I give mask and belt at the same time as weapons it's fine, as long as they are the first 4 items given.

the item it seems is intended strictly for classes born with pets that are meant for dps - bst, necro, mage, - these classes are innately born with pets for their damage output , umm sk pet /cough ... enchanter innate pet .. k w/e ...nice to know that you only need use the thing when summoning pet cuz god knows I'm not dropping my horn of doomcalling to wear this .

I have a quick question about the effect. Do you have to constantly wear the item for it to affect the pet, or just have it on when your pet is summoned like the Summoner's Boon effect?

This is for the pet using classes, although, technically mages would need pets. . . bsts and necros can do fine on their own, provided there're some variables in their favor. i.e. bsts: slowable mob that hits gimp damage, necs: snarable/fearable mob, or undead.. but all pet classes would still use pets given the opportunity and the timing to..

MAGE/NECRO/BEAST (the only pet classes, all the rest are wanna be's)
