Pet Abilities after patch

    I did not get to test much last night so was wondering if anyone has noticed any differences in pet abilities, considering the post regarding that they would get different CAs depending on the type and class of mob.

    Also, especially regarding the assasin pet, are we still able to resummon until we get different weapons reflecting their piercing or slashing damage? Or is it all piercing damage now?

    Warlock pet got new ability - Grim Lifetap (encounter DD + group heal). About Nightshade... didnt notice anything new, at least with ad3. Maybe there is something new with m1, dunno. Also, Shadestrike was nerfed. It used to do up to 1.9-2k damage, now I didnt see it made more than 1.6k (39 entries in parser, max hit is 1621). About dmg type - piercing only, always. Ah... Servant now doing slashing dmg (used to do crushing).

    I had shadestrike go off 37 times last night with an average hit of 1630 and the high at 2280 - seems about the same to me.

    Yeah, I was wondering about the diseased servant as well, assumed that he got crushing taken away once I saw his sword...not a big fan, but I guess this means no more summoning /killing pet /resummoning to get the damage/weapons you wanted

    Test in duels. Adept3 shade debuffs like 82 agi, 69 wis, 25 defense, and stiffles a lot. Have a necro duel you, they do a nice job debuffing.. scout pet is new debuff master.

    Here are screens of spells/CA that our pets are using.
    Note that screens were made by char with 100 INT and all displayed DD numbers are really lower than they are in game. Also, actual DD numbers hightly depend on debuffs/buffs and resists. Given numbers are average.

    Proc from Necromantic Insignia (ad3):

    Didn't seem to be positional to me (assassin pet tanking a mob was able to use unseen blade) but maybe someone else could confirm. Seeing that in the descriptions worried me a bit at first.

    Are pets running out of power faster now? My lvl 24 undying adherent (ad 3) seems to go low on power a lot faster now . . . or maybe I'm just noticing int more.
