Heres what I got on Levels (Didn't they nerf pets or something?):

Lucy:

Invoke Death Changed Slot 1 from "Summon Skeleton Pet: Skeleton237" to "Summon Skeleton Pet: skel_pet_41_"

Minion of Shadows Changed Slot 1 from "Summon Skeleton Pet: Skeleton240" to "Summon Skeleton Pet: skel_pet_43_"

Servant of Bones Changed Slot 1 from "Summon Skeleton Pet: Skeleton241" to "Summon Skeleton Pet: skel_pet_44_"

Kunark spdat (Max Level is Type + 3?)

Invoke Death Summons a Skeleton Type 37

Minion of Shadows Summons a Skeleton Type 37

Servant of Bones Summons a Skeleton Type 37

Emissary of Thule Summons a Skeleton Type 37

Velious spdat (Max Level is Type + 3?)

Invoke Death Summons a Skeleton Type 37 (37-40)

Minion of Shadows Summons a Skeleton Type 40 (40-43)

Servant of Bones Summons a Skeleton Type 41 (41-44)

Emissary of Thule Summons a Skeleton Type 45 (45-47, 48 only possible with focus)

Did focus items raise pet level beyond their normal range in p99's timeline?

Yes, Elemental Mastery staves and encyclopedia necrothurgia added +1, and would raise it above what would be possible otherwise.

The spdat.eff on the Kunark CD is pretty unreliable btw... a lot of stuff was a copy and paste job and later edited, or just plain changed by the time kunark actually hit.

I played a mage on live, and I remember (that dirty word) the necro pets always being 1 level lower than the mage ones. I find it very hard to believe that the necro pet is 2 levels higher than the mage one.

I can't read

Most people don't realize how beefy that specter pet really was.

Just got the spec pet and I can't for the life of me summon one that hits harder than the monk pet. 57 dmg is the most I have seen so far.

Dear devs, pls help.

Bump. Specter pet (LVL 59 dragon drop) max hit is 59, same as monk pet (LVL 56) max hit.

Come on devs, the specter pet was way WAY stronger on live. It was a 50k spell. If your going to keep it bad, atleast remove the peridot reagent.

Emissary of Thule:

HP Range 2400-2800
Max. Damage 61, Double Attack (random), Bash 40, Kick 40, Dual Wield (auto), Triple Attack, Procs a minor drain life spell (?)
New Abilities Stun ? (Peridot Required to cast spell)

The above info seems particularly relevant since it does not include immunity to fear in the new abilities section which places the information prior to that change.
