So I came across this pet skill on several wiki entries and it made me curious that I've never read or heard anything about it, both in-game and on forums. It's also listed in PW database as obtainable in Dragon temple. According to the description level 5 will deal 800% of pet damage on a 30sec cooldown, bypassing the target's defense. This would make it the hardest hitting of all pet skills in not just dph but dps as well, even ignoring the equivalent to full armor break, as its taking less time to cast aplications than both Bash and Flesh Ream for roughly the same nominal damage.

So is this even available in game? I've never even seen one of these scrolls in the AH, although I may have just skipped through it as a matter of course, as you usually do with skills such as Consume or Devour. Or is this being kept quiet by venos using it? While you may not want to make this a pet's default skill, it really should be the best alternative available for a second damage skill on a dps pet, and I can think of nothing better to pair Natural Synergy with. So what's the deal here, any thoughts on this skill?

I did try a forum search, granted not an exhaustive one, and came up with nothing.

    b:beatup LOL, You're absolutely right, I missed that. So, the skill appears to be worthless after all and the subject of its availability moot...

    Yeah, I remember this skill either being broken or just dealing little damage in reality.
    If it does deal 800 damage as Regenbogen says it would have been nice in the past but 800 now is only a tickle for endgame players.
