    Just tested a little bit with Ethereal Expertise and found the following intresting behavor:

    Swarmpets are copied, but they seem to be almost useless

    If this is intended, please remove the swarmpet funcionallity from the Essence of Expertiese :)

    Actual it seems to be only a possibility for lag-production

    some months ago it worked a little bit - seems the swarmpet nerf disabled the expertiese too ;)

    it has never worked. the 36k hit is just as broken (likely just debuff factors, random high base hit)

    originally dumbfire pets weren't included on Expertise. then they "fixed" it by making Expertise work via a targetable (although invisible) orb and ever since then it was broken for dumbfire dmg. it doesn't apply any owner stats to the "copied" dumbfires

    I agree that this needs to be fixed, especially now since they nerfed all swarmpets, dumbfires. These spells should be able to work with ethereal expertise and give the player a true double damage output to swarmspet spells or remove them entirely from the list of what spells will expertise.
    Nothing is more frustrating than to review your parse and see how your ethereal expertise runes proc was wasted over and over and gave you NO extra damage output because 2 of the four procs of ethereal expertise during the fight went on useless no damage swarm pets. HORRIBLE MECHANICS DESIGN DEVS! If you read this you can see and realize the problem please fix the mistake, this has been broken since they came out with still no correct adjustments.

    This hasn't worked for swarms ever it makes me feel sad when I here the triggers going off in act and it's doing nothing but making lag with my swarms while other classes are raining death from above. I swear our necro likes to hit There undead hoard as this is going off and watch the world stop.

    I tried to get an Expertise hit of Ascendion Elementalist Lv2 spell Wildfire.. without succsess.
    Seems Ethernal Expertiese does not copy Ascendion Spells :eek:
    And btw 50% of the hits from essence of Expertise are "Fails to inflict any damage"
    Some Nameds (or adds of Raidnameds) are able to hit the Expertise and this might break the Encounter (at least to one add):
