necro pets,?

[nickadeemis]

I cant find much info on necro pets anywhere. Was in pok the other day some people said in ooc that necros can have more than 1 pet at a time. If this is true, how? Any pet info or places to find pet info whould be of great help to me. ;)

later on necros get a AA-skill to store their summoned pets, so after they store their pets they can charm another creature, hence having 2 pets.

Yep. One in your pocket, one active.

But 2 "active" pets? Well, only if you count rangers.

Hmm, what about when you use the wake the dead AA? Then you have that running around while you have a pet, but it lasts for only a minute and you have no control over it.

[Fizzleplink]

Well, if you're gonna have THOSE qualifications, I guess I can't count my ranger :(

You can have a summoned or charmed pet active with a wake the dead pet and upto 3 swarm of death pets at once. On a rare occasion you could have 6 pets if your wake the dead pet makes his own pet. It's like Jebasiz's pets pet. The normal max is 5 though, the 6 pet thing would be hard to make happen on purpose, and rarely happens at all by accident.

swarm of decay= many active pets....i hear they hit pretty weak tho =\

[Kompressor]

isnt there an AA in GoD or somethin that has "summon skele archers" lol.. I havent really worked on AA's yet as Im still trying to get 65. but heh, I saw those someplace.

Sorry, by "active" I meant "pets you can control." I tend to think of swarm pets and Woken corpses as "passive." They attack and then just... stand there.

I truly hate seeing 5 dogs standing around drooling cuz the chanty mezzed the thing that was attacking the shamanic version of me. By the time I dot the damn thing, the poor dogs have such limited opportunity to kill it.

I think he may be refering to an old bug that was fixed some time ago, but has surfaced once or twice briefly.

There was a bug that when you had a pet up, cast eye of zomm. Get another player to kill your eye and while the eye is dead but the icon is still active start to cast a new summon pet.
Hey presto, two active pets. Rinse and repeat for as many pets as you like.
All the pets were controllable, but not as individuals. Using /pet attack %t would cause the entire herd of pets to attack as one.
Ive seen screenshots of people in skyfire with a whole herd of upwards of 20 pets.

Not me though. Id never allow myself to have a bit of fun using an exploit...

It was fixed pretty fast once it became known, but it has surfaced three or four times post patches since. Almost without fail people start to post on newgroups about it and the servers come down for an emergency patch.

I think thats the thing that he was asking about anyway.
