I have searched but couldnt find a good discussion on this pet, I have so far opted to not take it, since my undeads are doing so extremely well, and I wanted pool powers instead, but I would really like to hear some impressions from an experienced SE user, is it mostly a diversion, or is it actually another killer pet ?
How did you slot it, recharge or damage/acc ?
How long does it last ?
And what is the difference when using it on zombies/knights/the lich ?

I'm slotting it for Damage/Accuracy later on. The ghost has a good single-target Hold power to use and a ranged ability plus self-heal. I think it's very good and has saved me from debt at least once but i use it everytime i can. I havent timed but it seems to last around quite a while, maybe 5 minutes.

Grave Knight vs Zombies spawn different looking ghost but with same abilities, i still need a few levels for Liche.. uh.

edit: Anyway the level of the ghost is same as yours but dont know about lich.

It is a great power so don't discount it at all. Slotted mine for 2xAcc, 1xDam, 2xRecharge, 1xImmob. For as long as it lasts, it is a superb extra to your army with self-heals, decent attacks and an awesome hold/immob power.

If I know that a big boss/EB/AV is around the corner, I often send my lich into a small group nearby on passive so I can then raise him as a Wraith, then resummoning (& buffing) him before going to the main fight. Even the spirit raised from zombies has good attacks.

With Hasten and 2xRecharge, I still have had no more than one ghost at a time. But with my full squad of 8, including Fluffy, it makes a lovely sight!!

How do people find this compares to Dark Servant, the pet from the dark secondary power pool, as they sound like they're rather similar in terms of the pets powers?

Sounds great, I didnt know it had a hold power, I tend to love those, I will fit this one in asap.
Im using FF as secondary, but I could imagine /dark players having a ball with all those pets, can you still have several fluffies up at the same time ??

It's perma with 2 recharge SO's and hasten. It's mostly a damage/hold pet, great for necro/dark or necro/poison fro stacking oplayers hold and liches hold, and possibly DS's as well.

I haven't tested the difference when using it on different henches but I think it increases at least it's HP, possibly it's attack power. Too bad the lich never dies, and it's fairly hard to do the dismiss->summon trick anymore, although it still is possible iwth good timing.

[/ QUOTE ]You can't after I5, and even if you could, the MM DS is different to defender one, it needs 3 recharges and hasten to perma.
