I will let someone else answer #1
2) All minions within range get the upgrade even though only one minion exhibits the upgrade animation.
3)There are two parts to Howling Twilight. The user casts on a specific target like any attack. First then, there is applied in a spherical radius around the target an AUTO HIT stun, slow, -recharge, -regen, and take some hit points. The stun is not high enough to stun lieutenants or bosses, but the stun is autohit and stacks with other sources of stun. Second, in a spherical radius around the caster is provided a rez to teammates, any and ALL, but not pets, wish it could, but no. The rez brings the teammates to full health and endurance with no resulting temporary stun, like an awaken. There is no requirement for defeated teammates for the first part of Howling Twilight to work.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
Re 1) - the exclamation mark indicates that not all your pets have the same stance.
Don't think of Howling Twilight as a rez, think of it as an AoE debuff that happens to raise defeated teammates.

I think of it as an aoe mag 1 stun that happens to rez team mates... and use it as such. In fact, it's frequently down when people die cause I'll have just used it in combat. But then people don't die often when I'm playing a dark miasma char.

You can tell which pets have been upgraded by looking for the changes in the costumes. Bots will get a pair of red lights on the shoulders. Thugs go from T-shirts to tank tops.
My first short story (detective fiction) came out in Jan-2012. Other stories and books to follow, I hope. Because of "real writing". COH was a big part of that happening.
It was changed to an aoe, but still targets one pet. All pets get the buff now though, instead of doing one at a time.

You can also tell by expanding the buff icons on the pet window. All upgraded pets will have the upgrade power's icon next to their name.

Ah, my bad. Hadn't looked at the mag for it since we got the real numbers. I just know that it's more useful as an attack then as a rez.

Hello all
Thanks in advance
These are relatively simple questions, and I've looked around for answer but no luck..probably because there so basic most post just assume you already know the info. If anyone would mind answering any or all I would really appreciate it
(1) My highest level MM is (/cough) a level 12 bot/trap and the last day or so I've been playing him, I've noticed something peculiar. I place one of my minions on follow/defend and the other one on Follow/Offensive. Since yesterday though I've noticed that the stance button under the advanced pet command shows a exclamation point with a red circle around it. Can anyone tell em what this means?
(2) I've read in several guides that the minion upgrades automatically apply the upgrade to all minion in range instead of one at a time. However when I use the upgrade It is still a targetable and only one minion shows the animation. Do all other minions still get the upgrade without showing the animation?
(3) One of my other attempts at a MM is a Thug/DM and I'm loving him. However several guides I've seen around say to pick up the lvl 10 rez spell even if you solo. I'm under the understanding that the rez will not affect your minions. Is this true? Is there another trick about it I'm not aware of? From the way I've read the posts it almost sounds like you can use the effect to disorient and mez the targets around a minion when he/she falls in combat, however the rez portion of the spell will not affect them. Is that right?
Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
