Ruthless Servant Duration [BUG]?

[naltena]

Hello guys,

I recently obtained this Item http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item ... tem=100869 I was very exited to read the focus effect but today when I banked 30 aas I decided to go to the dummies and do some testing before I bought my extended swarm AA's.

I did 197 tests and In all my tests having the rob on, on my bags, or in my bank made no difference for neither the 85 or the 90 lvl RS pet. I'm really disappointed I searched the forums for both the name of the item and the name of the focus effect but it didnt return anything. Is this a known bug?

49 tests with lvl 90 RS pet 23 seconds each. (with robe on)
50 tests with lvl 90 RS pet 23 seconds each. (with robe in the bank)

50 tests with lvl 85 RS pet 20 seconds each. (with robe on)
48 tests with lvl 85 RS pet 20 seconds each. (with robe in the bank)

I then took out some extended swarm AA's and the results were the same plus the 7 seconds from my AA's.
( also the robe had no aug at the time of the testing, I added the aug it has right now after I was done. To avoid blame falling on it)
TL;DR Robe does do crap =/ but the clicky buff is cool!

That is VoA robe so will only work on VoA garg spell which is L95. Name should give it away really,

Ruthless Servant Duration is focus
L95 spell is Ruthless Servant.

Thank you Conjurous I was under the impression that it worked just like our AA's and extended our pet regardless of the name simply extending the whole line of spells.

We need to specifically ask for that every expansion. Every expansion they do not work, until we tell Elidroth that they need to.

Robe imho shouldn't. It is a focus effect, so it should have limited uses. Because your not giving up anything to use it, and it is useable 24/7. Now if the clickies did not work that would be bad.

[Voragath]

Like PJ said. Since the clicky always works for all pets, the focus has to be specific to that expansion. It's like that for all (or almost all) of the robe effects. The reason the focus is specific is to force you to upgrade.

The devs do not like gear that can be used forever.

Thank you guys for the replies I was just assuming it did, and thats why I went and did all the tests. At least I can be happy that the thing actually works it just means I need to go ding 95 . Sorry for creating a whole post but id figure I better share and see what you guys knew about it. Thanks again guys!
