Soul Extraction should be updated

It would be nice if Soul Extraction would just summon a pet equal to whatever pet your targeting atm, or be able to summon it from a dead mob.

Currently you have to summon the pet in question, using the release pet command to kill off the pet or pets, use Soul Extraction on that dead pet and then either wait for the pet power to recharge or use burnout to reactivate the pet power so you can resummon that original pet again and move on.

I cannot think of any words to describe this but unfair to Necro mastermind players. For everything that Necro is lacking compared to other mastermind sets it just seems to add insult to injury. Dev's should not be looking to make one of the weaker mastermind sets even more undesirable to play.

You are just too über. Pretty sure the devs intended for it to be used when your pets die in combat, never expecting players to get to a point where the pets don't actually die... It's a shame that you need to kill your own pets in order to use this power.

Can you use detonator at least if running traps?

I can think of another thing that is worse for MMs..Noxious Gases. Can they just get the corr version?

LOL

Sadly I'm not..

I made a Necro Poison with a tankermind approach. Sadly I forgot I have to use SOs and level him up before I could use that build.

He is stalled at 38 atm with frustration.

Honestly I don't even know what Soul Extracted pet does. There is nothing listed anywhere I can find to see it's powers. I was playing around with it myself looking at the combat window to determine what attacks it does. But I think I will have to get someone into PVP that has a zombie mastermind to use an analyzer on it to see if it works. The analyzer only works on enemy mobs I found out after I made one and tried to target my pet. I'm assuming in PvP it might work to see some stats. I couldn't get the combat window open either on it.

Who knows.

Don't touch my Gases, Unlike the Corr Version, it has a 1% chance to hold ANY Human AV, I've seen the Lambdas Big Dog PUKING(Before Poison trap was made into a Puking Animation).

Does noxious gas do anything negative to the henchman? I set-it-and-forget-it on my bruiser all the time and watch as he runs into combat.

None. Tell you Bruiser to let it fly. My Demon Prince(Named Buttercup) let's it fly often.

lol, 1%? Seriously? Big whoopie. Too bad about 99% of the time, the av or whatever just looks at said pet, and one shots it. Then the power is doing nothing at all, and you have that nice looonog wait before you can use it again.

No..and even so, whoopie. Being held does not kill an AV, or anything. Again, the pet dies sooo fast with NG on them, that in my experience, it does not really matter. And compare that to a corr..who can have the debuff the entire time. Yeah..hard choice. Enjoy your super exciting moment when you hold an AV.

Ah. Thanks. My gratitude to Buttercup for providing this information, too.

I feel that you want to derail this thread even further. (Can always pick up Provoke and Tank for your pets.) That's the last thing i will say on this matter in this thread.

Back on Topic, I have a Nerco/Traps that that just used the T9 Power of Traps to make Stronger "Soul" of the 3 Tiers but i feel that Soul Extraction could be updated to work like the Warsade's pet power for thous who have a more survivable build.
