Non combat pets in PVP- necroptance

Arbiter21

So I have a couple of non combat pets, but in cyrodiil when I try to use them, it says "You can't use this collectible in this zone". Does that mean I can't use Necroptence set in pvp? Or do I need to use another pet- one purchased from the crown store for example?

Hi, the Necropotence sets refers to combat pets only, so the two you summon as a magsorc and the shade if you are a NB I believe. (unsure if Ultimates turn Necro on but it's unlikely you would run Necro without a skill pet)

The non combat pets are PURELY cosmetic. Both ones you bought or unlocked in game. And it's those that are disabled (like momentos) in Cyro

The pets that set considers pets are combat pets. Things like "Summon familiar" from the Sorceror skill tree "Daedric Sumoning."

What class are you, OP?

Remember back at launch pets was not affected by stealth, seeing an bunch of monkeys, mudcrabs and some clanfears walk past looked pretty weird.
Next was to exploit it as in one had pet out, gankers thought it was one *** running around not an raid group
And necropotente only work for combat pets.

Thanks for you answers. I saw people using this on nightblades and got a little confused, now I realised that shadow image is considered a pet and procs necroptence. Thanks again

You can pric Necropotence also with monster set summoned pets, like shadow clanfear, engine guardian that daedra that breaths fire, etc.

This reminds me of a really old thread where a guy, either trolling or serious, had the same issue. "So then I pulled out my mudcrab and nothing" lol. I wish I could find that thread

Its just combat pets, however you can get a few weird ones.
You can get the young wasp follower by killing wasps somehow, it trigger necropotente.
More surreal, At the gold coast you have trolls who trow mud crabs at you, if they don't hit they will agro the troll and fight at your side, they also trigger it but disappear with the troll.

It don't trigger by others in groups having pets up,

It's worth mentioning that pets summoned by monster helms (Maw of the Infernal is the only example I can think of offhand) also activate Necropotence.
